Neural restoration
GFPGAN rebuilds face detail with AI prior knowledge.
3-step process
Hoe GFPGAN werkt
From a degraded, blurry input to a crystal-clear, high-fidelity portrait — every stage is transparent, measurable, and takes less than one second.
- Upload
Detect and align faces
The pipeline detects landmarks and normalizes pose so restoration starts from stable geometry.
- Process
Apply generative facial prior
GFPGAN rebuilds detail while preserving expression, identity, and structure.

Blend and upscale output
The restored face is blended back into the frame and prepared for final delivery.
