Model overview
gfpgan is a practical face restoration algorithm developed by the Tencent ARC team. It leverages the rich and diverse priors encapsulated in a pre-trained face GAN (such as StyleGAN2) to perform blind face restoration on old photos or AI-generated faces. This approach contrasts with similar models like Real-ESRGAN, which focuses on general image restoration, or PyTorch-AnimeGAN, which specializes in anime-style photo animation.
Model inputs and outputs
gfpgan takes an input image and rescales it by a specified factor, typically 2x. The model can handle a variety of face images, from low-quality old photos to high-quality AI-generated faces.
Inputs
- Img: The input image to be restored
- Scale: The factor by which to rescale the output image (default is 2)
- Version: The
gfpganmodel version to use (v1.3 for better quality, v1.4 for more details and better identity)
Outputs
- Output: The restored face image
Capabilities
gfpgan can effectively restore a wide range of face images, from old, low-quality photos to high-quality AI-generated faces. It is able to recover fine details, fix blemishes, and enhance the overall appearance of the face while preserving the original identity.
What can I use it for?
You can use gfpgan to restore old family photos, enhance AI-generated portraits, or breathe new life into low-quality images of faces. The model's capabilities make it a valuable tool for photographers, digital artists, and anyone looking to improve the quality of their facial images. Additionally, the maintainer tencentarc offers an online demo on Replicate, allowing you to try the model without setting up the local environment.
Things to try
Experiment with different input images, varying the scale and version parameters, to see how gfpgan can transform low-quality or damaged face images into high-quality, detailed portraits. You can also try combining gfpgan with other models like Real-ESRGAN to enhance the background and non-facial regions of the image.

realesrgan is a practical image restoration algorithm developed by the Tencent ARC Lab. It aims to develop effective algorithms for general image/video restoration, extending the powerful ESRGAN model to practical real-world applications. realesrgan is trained using only synthetic data, but can achieve impressive results on real-world low-resolution images, outperforming traditional super-resolution methods. realesrgan can be considered an improved version of the ESRGAN model, with enhancements for real-world applicability. It performs well on natural images as well as anime/cartoon-style images, thanks to its versatile training approach. Unlike the face-specific GFPGAN and Codeformer models, realesrgan can be applied to a broader range of image types. Model inputs and outputs Inputs img**: The input image, which can be a URI to an image file. tile**: The tile size to use for processing the image. Setting this to a non-zero value can help with GPU memory issues, but may introduce some artifacts. scale**: The desired upscaling factor, typically 2x or 4x. version**: The version of the realesrgan model to use, such as the general "General - v3" or the anime-optimized "RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B". face_enhance**: A boolean flag to enable face enhancement using the GFPGAN model. This is not recommended for anime/cartoon-style images. Outputs The upscaled and restored output image, returned as a URI. Capabilities realesrgan can effectively restore and upscale a variety of image types, from natural scenes to anime/cartoon-style images. It can handle noise, blur, and other common degradations, producing high-quality results. The model's versatility comes from its synthetic training data, which covers a wide range of image characteristics. What can I use it for? realesrgan is a powerful tool for enhancing the resolution and quality of images, with applications in photography, graphic design, animation, and more. It can be used to upscale and restore low-quality images, such as those from the web or old photos, to create high-quality assets for various projects. For example, you could use realesrgan to upscale and restore images for use in website backgrounds, social media posts, or marketing materials.

vqfr is a blind face restoration model developed by Tencent ARC that uses a vector-quantized dictionary and parallel decoder to produce realistic facial details while maintaining comparable fidelity. It builds upon prior face restoration models like GFPGAN and CodeFormer by incorporating a novel vector-quantized dictionary mechanism. Compared to these models, vqfr is able to generate more detailed and natural-looking facial textures. Model inputs and outputs vqfr takes in an input image, which can be either a full image containing a face or a cropped/aligned face. The model then outputs the restored face with improved details and the whole image with the face region enhanced. Inputs Image**: Input image, which can be a full image with a face or a cropped/aligned face. Aligned**: Boolean flag indicating whether the input is an aligned face. Outputs Restored Faces**: The model outputs the restored face regions with improved details. Whole Image**: The model also outputs the whole image with the face region enhanced. Capabilities vqfr is capable of blindly restoring faces in low-quality images, whether they are old photos, AI-generated faces, or images with other degradation factors. It can produce realistic facial details while maintaining comparable fidelity to the input. The model's vector-quantized dictionary mechanism allows it to generate more natural-looking textures compared to previous face restoration models. What can I use it for? vqfr can be used for a variety of applications that involve restoring low-quality or degraded facial images, such as: Enhancing old family photos Improving the quality of AI-generated faces Restoring damaged or low-resolution facial images By using vqfr, you can breathe new life into your old photos or fix up AI-generated images to make them look more realistic and natural. Things to try One interesting aspect of vqfr is its ability to balance fidelity and quality through a user-controllable fidelity ratio. By adjusting this ratio, you can experiment with different trade-offs between the overall quality of the restored face and its similarity to the original input. This allows you to customize the model's output to your specific needs or preferences. Another thing to try is using vqfr in conjunction with background upsampling models like Real-ESRGAN to enhance the entire image, not just the face region. This can produce more visually compelling and consistent results for your restoration projects.
