Overview
CodeFormer is a research model for robust blind face restoration. Its repository provides Python inference code for whole images, cropped faces, and video, with options for background upscaling, face colorization, and face inpainting. The project is used by developers and researchers who download model weights and run the pipeline locally. It is built around a codebook lookup transformer and documents integrations with official author-maintained demos. GitHub reports NOASSERTION for the repository license, so this record does not mark it as OSI-licensed open source.
