Frequently Asked Questions

What is GFPGAN and how does it work?
GFPGAN is an AI-powered face restoration algorithm developed by Tencent ARC Lab. It uses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to restore heavily degraded facial images by enhancing details and removing artifacts while preserving the person's identity.
What types of photos can GFPGAN restore?
GFPGAN works best on portrait photos where faces are visible. It can handle old, blurry, low-resolution, compressed, or damaged photos, as well as images with noise or artifacts.
Does GFPGAN change how people look in photos?
GFPGAN aims to preserve the identity and key characteristics of faces while enhancing quality. While some subtle changes may occur during restoration, the algorithm is designed to maintain the person's core identity.
Can I use GFPGAN for commercial purposes?
Yes, you can use GFPGAN for both personal and commercial purposes, subject to our terms of service and responsible use guidelines.
How does GFPGAN compare to other face restoration tools?
GFPGAN often outperforms other tools in restoring severely degraded images and preserving fine facial details. Its specialized architecture focuses specifically on face restoration rather than general image enhancement.
Are there any limitations to what GFPGAN can restore?
While GFPGAN is powerful, extremely low-quality images with barely recognizable faces may still present challenges. The tool works best when at least some facial features are discernible in the original image.
