About

What IP-Adapter-FaceID is

IP-Adapter-FaceID Model Card Project Page | Paper (ArXiv) | Code Introduction An experimental version of IP-Adapter-FaceID: we use face ID embedding from a face recognition model instead of CLIP image embedding, additionally, we use LoRA to improve ID consistency. IP-Adapter-FaceID can generate various style images conditioned on a face with only text prompts. Update 2023/12/27: IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus: face ID embedding (for face ID) + CLIP image embedding (for face structure) Update 2023/12/28: IP-Adapter-FaceID-PlusV2: face ID embedding (for face ID) + controllable CLIP image embedding (for face structure) You can adjust the weight of the face structure to get different generation! Update 2024/01/04: IP-Adapter-FaceID-SDXL: An experimental SDXL version of IP-Adapter-FaceID Update 2024/01/17: IP-Adapter-FaceID-PlusV2-SDXL: An experimental SDXL version of IP-Adapter-FaceID-PlusV2 Update 2024/01/19: IP-Adapter-FaceID-Portrait: same with IP-Adapter-FaceID but for portrait generation (no lora! no controlnet!). Specifically, it accepts multiple facial images to enhance similarity (the default is 5). Usage IP-Adapter-FaceID Firstly, you should use insightface to extract face ID embedding: Then, you can generate images conditioned on the face embeddings: you can also use a normal IP-Adapter and a normal LoRA to load model: IP-Adapter-FaceID-SDXL Firstly, you should use insightface to extract face ID embedding: Then, you can generate images conditioned on the face embeddings: IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus Firstly, you should use insightface to extract face ID embedding and face image: Then, you can generate images conditioned on the face embeddings: IP-Adapter-FaceID-Portrait Limitations and Bias - The models do not achieve perfect photorealism and ID consistency. - The generalization of the models is limited due to limitations of the training data, base model and face recognition model. Non-commercial use AS InsightFace pretrained models are available for non-commercial research purposes, IP-Adapter-FaceID models are released exclusively for research purposes and is not intended for commercial use.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys ip-adapter-faceid for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (ip-adapter-faceid below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"ip-adapter-faceid","prompt":"a red bicycle","size":"1024x1024"}'

Licence

Commercial licence needed

The weights are open but its licence needs a commercial agreement for business use. AxForge can arrange that licence and host the model for you — you pay AxForge, we settle with the model’s maker. Ask us for a quote. Read the licence ↗
