FaceFusion UI Improvements - Summary of Changes

Date: October 6, 2025

This document summarizes all the improvements made to the FaceFusion application.


1. Removed "Join Our Community" Button βœ…

File Modified: facefusion/uis/components/about.py

Change: Removed the "join our community" option from the random action button choices in the about section, leaving only:


2. Added Helpful Descriptions to UI Components βœ…

Added informative info parameters to guide users on how to use each feature:

Files Modified:

facefusion/uis/components/processors.py

  • Processors Checkbox Group: "Select one or more processors to apply to your video/image. Face swapper replaces faces, face enhancer improves quality, lip syncer syncs audio, etc."

facefusion/uis/components/face_swapper_options.py

  • Face Swapper Model: "Choose the AI model for face swapping. inswapper_128 and blendswap_256 offer the best quality."
  • Pixel Boost: "Higher resolution produces better quality but requires more processing time and memory. Use 1024x1024 for best results."

facefusion/uis/components/face_enhancer_options.py

  • Face Enhancer Model: "Choose an AI model to enhance face quality and details. Recommended: gfpgan_1.4 or restoreformer_plus_plus for best results."
  • Face Enhancer Blend: "Control the blend between enhanced and original face. 100 = full enhancement, 0 = original."

facefusion/uis/components/source.py

  • Source File: "Upload the source image (face to copy) or audio file (for lip sync). This will be applied to the target."

facefusion/uis/components/target.py

  • Target File: "Upload the target image or video where the face will be swapped. This is the base content to be modified."

facefusion/uis/components/output.py

  • Output Path: "Specify the output directory or file path where the processed result will be saved."

facefusion/uis/components/execution.py

  • Execution Providers: "Select hardware acceleration. CUDAExecutionProvider for NVIDIA GPUs, CoreMLExecutionProvider for Apple Silicon, CPUExecutionProvider as fallback."

facefusion/uis/components/memory.py

  • Video Memory Strategy: "Balance between speed and VRAM usage. Strict = low memory, Moderate = balanced, Tolerant = faster but uses more VRAM."

facefusion/uis/components/face_selector.py

  • Face Selector Mode: "Choose how to select faces: Reference (track specific face), One (first detected), Many (all faces), or filters by age/gender/race."

3. Configured Optimal Default Settings for Best Quality βœ…

File Modified: facefusion.ini

Processor Defaults (Best Quality):

processors = face_swapper face_enhancer
face_swapper_model = inswapper_128
face_swapper_pixel_boost = 1024x1024
face_enhancer_model = gfpgan_1.4
face_enhancer_blend = 80

Output Quality Settings (Maximum Quality):

output_image_quality = 95
output_video_quality = 95
output_video_preset = slow

Rationale:

  • inswapper_128: One of the highest quality face swapping models
  • 1024x1024 pixel boost: Highest resolution available for maximum detail
  • face_enhancer: Automatically improves face quality post-swap
  • gfpgan_1.4: Proven face enhancement model
  • Quality 95: Near-lossless compression for images and videos
  • Preset "slow": Better compression efficiency, higher output quality

4. Updated README Documentation βœ…

File Modified: README.md

Added comprehensive documentation including:

  • Explanation of optimal settings
  • Default processor configuration
  • Face swapper and enhancer recommendations
  • Usage tips for best results
  • Performance notes
  • Alternative model suggestions

Summary of Benefits

User Experience Improvements:

  1. Cleaner UI: Removed unnecessary community button
  2. Better Guidance: Helpful tooltips explain each feature's purpose
  3. Optimal Defaults: Users get best quality results out-of-the-box
  4. Clear Documentation: README explains settings and usage

Quality Improvements:

  1. Best Models Selected: inswapper_128 + gfpgan_1.4 combination
  2. Maximum Resolution: 1024x1024 pixel boost for finest details
  3. High Output Quality: 95% quality settings for minimal artifacts
  4. Dual Processing: Both swap and enhance for superior results

Testing Recommendations

  1. Launch the application and verify the UI changes
  2. Check that helpful info tooltips appear on hover/click
  3. Verify default settings are applied for new sessions
  4. Test face swapping with the default settings for quality
  5. Confirm "join our community" button is removed
