๐Ÿ’กWhat is GFPGAN?

GFPGAN is a specialized face-restoration model used when footage contains soft, compressed or damaged faces. It can be applied to video frames to improve facial detail before the frames are reassembled. It is not a timeline editor; it is a restoration component for an editing pipeline. Local processing avoids per-video cloud enhancement charges. Results depend on the source and settings, and excessive restoration can create an artificial appearance. It is useful for archival footage, old recordings and talking-head material where facial clarity is the main concern.
