This project restores old face photos using AI. Watch the 4 minute explainer video to see how I built this or see the 15 second demo.
It uses an ML model from the Applied Research Center called GFPGAN on Replicate to restore face photos. This application gives you the ability to upload any photo, which will send it through this ML Model using a Next.js API route, and return your restored photo.
Note: I just added auth so these steps are not complete as of now. You can git clone from this specific commit.
git clone
Create a file in root directory of project with env. And store your API key in it, as shown in the .example.env file.
If you'd also like to do rate limiting, create an account on UpStash, create a Redis database, and populate the two environment variables in .env
as well. If you don't want to do rate limiting, you don't need to make any changes.
npm install
Then, run the application in the command line and it will be available at http://localhost:3000
.
npm run dev
