Details

Definition

The term 'DeepNude' appeared in 2019 with the launch of the DeepNude AI application. The app used a deep learning model to transform a clothed photo into a nude image. The name combines 'deep' (deep learning) and 'nude' (nudity).

History

The DeepNude AI app was launched in 2019 by two British developers. It quickly became controversial: early tests showed that the generated faces did not always match the source faces, and that results were biased towards certain phenotypes. In 2021, the app was removed from the market.

Generic term

Since the app's removal, 'DeepNude' is used as a generic term by press, bloggers and users. It now refers to any AI undress tool, without distinction between providers. It has become a category, like 'Google' for web searches.

Our approach

We do not score the term 'DeepNude' itself. We score the 6 concrete tools in our catalogue: AiNudez, PornWorks, DeepUndress, Undresswith AI, WaveSpeed and UndressHer. Each is evaluated on the same 5 weighted criteria, with the same reference image set.

Legal context in France

Processing intimate images of an adult with their explicit consent is permitted in France. Without consent, the French Penal Code (art. 226-1, art. 226-4) applies. CNIL is the competent supervisory authority for data protection.

Why the term persists

The term 'DeepNude' persists because it is short, memorable and immediately understood. It evokes the technology (deep learning) and the result (undress). Even though the original app no longer exists, the term survived as a category. This is a common linguistic phenomenon: brand names become generic (Xerox, Aspirin, Google).

Responsible use

Use only your own photos or those of adults who have given explicit written consent.
AI-generated images must be labelled as synthetic and never presented as real (EU AI Act, Art. 50).
Tools that process images of celebrities are not in the catalogue, regardless of output quality.
If published without consent, the Penal Code (art. 226-1, 226-4) applies. Contact the CNIL or file a complaint.
Delete local images after download. Tool servers may retain them longer than their policy suggests.
