Real-ESRGAN

xinntao/Real-ESRGAN · ★ 37.1K

Real-ESRGAN is a practical algorithm for general image and video restoration (super-resolution) that extends ESRGAN and is trained entirely on synthetic data so it handles real-world degradation, not just clean bicubic downscaling.

+7

GFPGAN

TencentARC/GFPGAN · ★ 37.7K

GFPGAN is a practical algorithm for real-world blind face restoration: it rebuilds degraded or low-quality faces in photos using rich priors from a pretrained face GAN like StyleGAN2.

+2

ComfyUI-VOSR2

ylchen333/ComfyUI-VOSR2 · ★ 293

ComfyUI-VOSR2 is a ComfyUI custom node wrapper for VOSR 2.0, a one-step, 1.4B-parameter image super-resolution model built on LightningDiT, a Qwen-Image 2D VAE, and DINOv2-L conditioning.

CodeFormer

sczhou/CodeFormer · ★ 18.2K

An AI face-restoration model and tool from a NeurIPS 2022 paper by S-Lab, Nanyang Technological University: it rebuilds clear, realistic faces from blurry, low-quality, or old photos using a codebook-lookup transformer.

    Bringing-Old-Photos-Back-to-Life

    15.7Kmicrosoft/Bringing-Old-Photos-Back-to-Life · Python

    It's an AI old-photo restoration tool from Microsoft Research and City University of Hong Kong: deep learning models that remove scratches, fix global degradation and enhance faces in damaged photos. It's the official PyTorch implementation of a CVPR 2020 oral paper, later extended in TPAMI 2022.
