⭐ If CodeFormer is helpful to your images or projects, please help star this repo. Thanks! 🤗
[News]: 🐳 Due to copyright issues, we have to delay the release of the training code (expected by the end of this year). Please star and stay tuned for our future updates!

Download the facelib pretrained models from [Google Drive | OneDrive] to the weights/facelib folder. You can manually download the pretrained models OR download by running the following command.
python scripts/download_pretrained_models.py facelib
Download the CodeFormer pretrained models from [Google Drive | OneDrive] to the weights/CodeFormer folder. You can manually download the pretrained models OR download by running the following command.
python scripts/download_pretrained_models.py CodeFormer
You can put the testing images in the inputs/TestWhole folder. If you would like to test on cropped and aligned faces, you can put them in the inputs/cropped_faces folder.
[Note] If you want to compare CodeFormer in your paper, please run the following command indicating --has_aligned (for cropped and aligned face), as the command for the whole image will involve a process of face-background fusion that may damage hair texture on the boundary, which leads to unfair comparison.
🧑🏻 Face Restoration (cropped and aligned face)
# For cropped and aligned faces
python inference_codeformer.py -w 0.5 --has_aligned --input_path [input folder]
🖼️ Whole Image Enhancement
# For whole image
# Add '--bg_upsampler realesrgan' to enhance the background regions with Real-ESRGAN
# Add '--face_upsample' to further upsample restorated face with Real-ESRGAN
python inference_codeformer.py -w 0.7 --input_path [image folder/image path]
🎬 Video Enhancement
# For video clips
python inference_codeformer.py --bg_upsampler realesrgan --face_upsample -w 1.0 --input_path [video path]
Fidelity weight w lays in [0, 1]. Generally, smaller w tends to produce a higher-quality result, while larger w yields a higher-fidelity result.
The results will be saved in the results folder.

This project is based on BasicSR. Some codes are brought from Unleashing Transformers, YOLOv5-face, and FaceXLib. We also adopt Real-ESRGAN to support background image enhancement. Thanks for their awesome works.
