Selecting and downloading AI models in FaceFusion

Demo summary
The demo shows how to switch between different face enhancer models (like GPEN-BFR) and face swapper models, which triggers automatic background downloads in the terminal.
Step-by-step
- Locate the Face Enhancer model selection menu
- Select a specific model, such as GPEN-BFR 256 or 512
- Monitor the terminal window to track the automatic background download progress
- Wait for the download to complete before the preview generates
Options
- Switch between Face Swapper models
- Toggle processors on and off
- Select higher resolution models like 1024 or 2048 for extreme close-ups
Watch out for
- Each new model selected for the first time requires a background download via the terminal
- Download times vary based on model size and internet speed
Tips
- Use GPEN-BFR 256 or 512 for the best results in most scenarios
- Avoid 1024 and 2048 models on standard 4K video as they can make faces look 'crunchy' or over-sharpened
- Run the process with different models to compare results for your specific footage
