Which GFPGAN version should I use?

v1.4 is recommended for most use cases — it preserves the most detail and identity. RestoreFormer is an alternative for very damaged footage.

Does it enhance the entire video?

The model focuses specifically on faces. Background and non-face areas receive upscaling but not the specialized face restoration treatment.

What's the maximum upscale factor?

2x is the default and recommended setting. This doubles the resolution while keeping faces natural-looking and detailed.

Can I use it on modern videos?

Yes, though it's designed for degraded footage. Modern HD/4K video with clear faces won't benefit much from face restoration.

No. GFPGAN preserves identity and natural features. It enhances detail and sharpness without altering facial structure or appearance.
