Model overview
CodeFormer is a robust face restoration algorithm developed by researchers at Nanyang Technological University. It is designed to enhance old photos or fix issues in AI-generated faces, such as blurriness, compression artifacts, and distortions. CodeFormer uses a novel Codebook Lookup Transformer architecture to achieve high-quality face restoration, outperforming previous methods like GFPGAN. It can handle a wide range of face degradation types and produces natural-looking results.
Model inputs and outputs
CodeFormer takes in an image as input and outputs a restored, high-quality version of the face. The model supports several optional features:
Inputs
- Image: The input image containing the face to be restored.
- Upscale: The final upsampling scale of the image, with a default of 2.
- Face Upsample: A boolean flag to further upsample the restored faces for high-resolution AI-created images.
- Background Enhance: A boolean flag to enhance the background image using Real-ESRGAN.
- Codeformer Fidelity: A number between 0 and 1 that balances the quality (lower number) and fidelity (higher number) of the output.
Outputs
- Output: The restored, high-quality image with the face enhanced.
Capabilities
CodeFormer is capable of robustly restoring a wide range of face degradation types, including blurriness, compression artifacts, and distortions. It can handle both old photos and AI-generated faces, producing natural-looking results that preserve the subject's identity. The model's performance surpasses previous methods like GFPGAN.
What can I use it for?
CodeFormer can be a valuable tool for a variety of applications, such as:
- Enhancing old family photos or other historical images
- Improving the quality of AI-generated portraits or avatars
- Restoring low-quality images or videos with faces
- Developing applications that require high-quality face restoration, such as photo editing tools or social media platforms
Things to try
One interesting aspect of CodeFormer is its ability to balance the quality and fidelity of the output through the Codeformer Fidelity parameter. By adjusting this value, you can experiment with different levels of restoration, from preserving the original appearance to achieving a more polished, high-quality result. This allows users to customize the output to their specific needs or preferences.

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 gfpgan model 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.
