Gfpgan: Practical Face Restoration With StyleGAN2 Priors
Gfpgan is a face restoration algorithm that leverages priors in pretrained GANs for blind face restoration. It improves old photos & AI-generated faces with realistic features & details, suitable for personal & commercial use cases.

Model overview gfpgan is a practical face restoration algorithm developed by Tencent ARC, aimed at restoring old photos or AI-generated faces. It leverages rich and diverse priors encapsulated in a pretrained face GAN (such as StyleGAN2) for blind face restoration. This approach is contrasted with similar models like Codeformer which also focus on robust face restoration, and upscaler which aims...
