Frequently Asked Questions
Will the face look exactly like the real person?
Not always. The AI redraws a face from what it can see, so eyes, teeth and small features are its best guess. The more damaged the face, the more it guesses. Always check the result, and do not use it as evidence of what someone looked like.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The AI model downloads to your browser the first time (about 170 MB, from Hugging Face), then runs on your own device, so family photos stay private.
Which AI models does it use?
YuNet to find the faces and GFPGAN v1.4 to restore them. Both are open source. GFPGAN was trained on the FFHQ face dataset.
What happens to the rest of the photo?
It stays as it was. Only the faces change, and each one fades softly into the photo. To clean up the whole picture, use Image Enhance as well.
Why does it not open on my phone?
The model is too large for most phones and tablets, so this tool opens only on a PC or laptop.
