GFPGAN aims at developing a Practical Algorithm for Real-world Face Restoration.
It leverages rich and diverse priors encapsulated in a pretrained face GAN (e.g., StyleGAN2) for blind face restoration.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions can be found in FAQ.md.
🚩 Updates
- ✅ Add RestoreFormer inference codes.
- ✅ Add V1.4 model, which produces slightly more details and better identity than V1.3.
- ✅ Add V1.3 model, which produces more natural restoration results, and better results on very low-quality / high-quality inputs. See more in Model zoo, Comparisons.md
- ✅ Integrated to Huggingface Spaces with Gradio. See Gradio Web Demo.
- ✅ Support enhancing non-face regions (background) with Real-ESRGAN.
- ✅ We provide a clean version of GFPGAN, which does not require CUDA extensions.
- ✅ We provide an updated model without colorizing faces.

| Version | Model Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| V1.3 | GFPGANv1.3.pth | Based on V1.2; more natural restoration results; better results on very low-quality / high-quality inputs. |
| V1.2 | GFPGANCleanv1-NoCE-C2.pth | No colorization; no CUDA extensions are required. Trained with more data with pre-processing. |
| V1 | GFPGANv1.pth | The paper model, with colorization. |
The comparisons are in Comparisons.md.
Note that V1.3 is not always better than V1.2. You may need to select different models based on your purpose and inputs.
| Version | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
| V1.3 | ✓ natural outputs ✓better results on very low-quality inputs ✓ work on relatively high-quality inputs ✓ can have repeated (twice) restorations |
✗ not very sharp ✗ have a slight change on identity |
| V1.2 | ✓ sharper output ✓ with beauty makeup |
✗ some outputs are unnatural |

We provide the training codes for GFPGAN (used in our paper).
You could improve it according to your own needs.
Tips
- More high quality faces can improve the restoration quality.
- You may need to perform some pre-processing, such as beauty makeup.
Procedures
(You can try a simple version ( options/train_gfpgan_v1_simple.yml) that does not require face component landmarks.)
