Installation

We now provide a clean version of GFPGAN, which does not require customized CUDA extensions. See here for this easier installation.
If you want want to use the original model in our paper, please follow the instructions below.

1. Clone repo

   git clone https://github.com/xinntao/GFPGAN.git
   cd GFPGAN

2. Install dependent packages

   As StyleGAN2 uses customized PyTorch C++ extensions, you need to compile them during installation or load them just-in-time(JIT). You can refer to BasicSR-INSTALL.md for more details.

   Option 1: Load extensions just-in-time(JIT) (For those just want to do simple inferences, may have less issues)

   # Install basicsr - https://github.com/xinntao/BasicSR
   # We use BasicSR for both training and inference
   pip install basicsr
   
   # Install facexlib - https://github.com/xinntao/facexlib
   # We use face detection and face restoration helper in the facexlib package
   pip install facexlib
   
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   python setup.py develop
   
   # remember to set BASICSR_JIT=True before your running commands

   Option 2: Compile extensions during installation (For those need to train/inference for many times)

   # Install basicsr - https://github.com/xinntao/BasicSR
   # We use BasicSR for both training and inference
   # Set BASICSR_EXT=True to compile the cuda extensions in the BasicSR - It may take several minutes to compile, please be patient
   # Add -vvv for detailed log prints
   BASICSR_EXT=True pip install basicsr -vvv
   
   # Install facexlib - https://github.com/xinntao/facexlib
   # We use face detection and face restoration helper in the facexlib package
   pip install facexlib
   
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   python setup.py develop

⚡ Quick Inference

Download pre-trained models: GFPGANv1.pth

wget https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN/releases/download/v0.1.0/GFPGANv1.pth -P experiments/pretrained_models

• Option 1: Load extensions just-in-time(JIT)

  BASICSR_JIT=True python inference_gfpgan.py --input inputs/whole_imgs --output results --version 1
  
  # for aligned images
  BASICSR_JIT=True python inference_gfpgan.py --input inputs/whole_imgs --output results --version 1 --aligned

• Option 2: Have successfully compiled extensions during installation

  python inference_gfpgan.py --input inputs/whole_imgs --output results --version 1
  
  # for aligned images
  python inference_gfpgan.py --input inputs/whole_imgs --output results --version 1 --aligned
