## Introduction 📖

This repo, named **LivePortrait**, contains the official PyTorch implementation of our paper [LivePortrait: Efficient Portrait Animation with Stitching and Retargeting Control](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.03168).

We are actively updating and improving this repository. If you find any bugs or have suggestions, welcome to raise issues or submit pull requests (PR) 💖.



## Getting Started 🏁

### 1. Clone the code and prepare the environment 🛠️



> [!Note]

> Make sure your system has [`git`](https://git-scm.com/), [`conda`](https://anaconda.org/anaconda/conda), and [`FFmpeg`](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) installed. For details on FFmpeg installation, see [**how to install FFmpeg**](assets/docs/how-to-install-ffmpeg.md).



```bash

git clone https://github.com/KwaiVGI/LivePortrait

cd LivePortrait



# create env using conda

conda create -n LivePortrait python=3.10

conda activate LivePortrait

```



#### For Linux or Windows Users

[X-Pose](https://github.com/IDEA-Research/X-Pose) requires your `torch` version to be compatible with the CUDA version.



Firstly, check your current CUDA version by:

```bash

nvcc -V # example versions: 11.1, 11.8, 12.1, etc.

```



Then, install the corresponding torch version. Here are examples for different CUDA versions. Visit the [PyTorch Official Website](https://pytorch.org/get-started/previous-versions) for installation commands if your CUDA version is not listed:

```bash

# for CUDA 11.1

pip install torch==1.10.1+cu111 torchvision==0.11.2 torchaudio==0.10.1 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu111/torch_stable.html

# for CUDA 11.8

pip install torch==2.3.0 torchvision==0.18.0 torchaudio==2.3.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

# for CUDA 12.1

pip install torch==2.3.0 torchvision==0.18.0 torchaudio==2.3.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

# ...

```



**Note**: On Windows systems, some higher versions of CUDA (such as 12.4, 12.6, etc.) may lead to unknown issues. You may consider downgrading CUDA to version 11.8 for stability. See the [downgrade guide](https://github.com/dimitribarbot/sd-webui-live-portrait/blob/main/assets/docs/how-to-install-xpose.md#cuda-toolkit-118) by [@dimitribarbot](https://github.com/dimitribarbot).



Finally, install the remaining dependencies:

```bash

pip install -r requirements.txt

```



#### For macOS with Apple Silicon Users

The [X-Pose](https://github.com/IDEA-Research/X-Pose) dependency does not support macOS, so you can skip its installation. While Humans mode works as usual, Animals mode is not supported. Use the provided requirements file for macOS with Apple Silicon:

```bash

# for macOS with Apple Silicon users

pip install -r requirements_macOS.txt

```



### 2. Download pretrained weights 📥



The easiest way to download the pretrained weights is from HuggingFace:

```bash

# !pip install -U "huggingface_hub[cli]"

huggingface-cli download KwaiVGI/LivePortrait --local-dir pretrained_weights --exclude "*.git*" "README.md" "docs"

```



If you cannot access to Huggingface, you can use [hf-mirror](https://hf-mirror.com/) to download:

```bash

# !pip install -U "huggingface_hub[cli]"

export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com

huggingface-cli download KwaiVGI/LivePortrait --local-dir pretrained_weights --exclude "*.git*" "README.md" "docs"

```



Alternatively, you can download all pretrained weights from [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UtKgzKjFAOmZkhNK-OYT0caJ_w2XAnib) or [Baidu Yun](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1MGctWmNla_vZxDbEp2Dtzw?pwd=z5cn). Unzip and place them in `./pretrained_weights`.



Ensuring the directory structure is as or contains [**this**](assets/docs/directory-structure.md).



### 3. Inference 🚀



#### Fast hands-on (humans) 👤

```bash

# For Linux and Windows users

python inference.py



# For macOS users with Apple Silicon (Intel is not tested). NOTE: this maybe 20x slower than RTX 4090

PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1 python inference.py

```



If the script runs successfully, you will get an output mp4 file named `animations/s6--d0_concat.mp4`. This file includes the following results: driving video, input image or video, and generated result.





  image




Or, you can change the input by specifying the `-s` and `-d` arguments:



```bash

# source input is an image

python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d0.mp4



# source input is a video ✨

python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s13.mp4 -d assets/examples/driving/d0.mp4



# more options to see

python inference.py -h

```



#### Fast hands-on (animals) 🐱🐶

Animals mode is ONLY tested on Linux and Windows with NVIDIA GPU.



You need to build an OP named `MultiScaleDeformableAttention` first, which is used by [X-Pose](https://github.com/IDEA-Research/X-Pose), a general keypoint detection framework.

```bash

cd src/utils/dependencies/XPose/models/UniPose/ops

python setup.py build install

cd - # equal to cd ../../../../../../../

```



Then

```bash

python inference_animals.py -s assets/examples/source/s39.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/wink.pkl --driving_multiplier 1.75 --no_flag_stitching

```

If the script runs successfully, you will get an output mp4 file named `animations/s39--wink_concat.mp4`.



  image




#### Driving video auto-cropping 📢📢📢

> [!IMPORTANT]

> To use your own driving video, we **recommend**: ⬇️

> - Crop it to a **1:1** aspect ratio (e.g., 512x512 or 256x256 pixels), or enable auto-cropping by `--flag_crop_driving_video`.

> - Focus on the head area, similar to the example videos.

> - Minimize shoulder movement.

> - Make sure the first frame of driving video is a frontal face with **neutral expression**.



Below is an auto-cropping case by `--flag_crop_driving_video`:

```bash

python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d13.mp4 --flag_crop_driving_video

```



If you find the results of auto-cropping is not well, you can modify the `--scale_crop_driving_video`, `--vy_ratio_crop_driving_video` options to adjust the scale and offset, or do it manually.



#### Motion template making

You can also use the auto-generated motion template files ending with `.pkl` to speed up inference, and **protect privacy**, such as:

```bash

python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d5.pkl # portrait animation

python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s13.mp4 -d assets/examples/driving/d5.pkl # portrait video editing

```



### 4. Gradio interface 🤗



We also provide a Gradio  interface for a better experience, just run by:



```bash

# For Linux and Windows users (and macOS with Intel??)

python app.py # humans mode



# For macOS with Apple Silicon users, Intel not supported, this maybe 20x slower than RTX 4090

PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1 python app.py # humans mode

```



We also provide a Gradio interface of animals mode, which is only tested on Linux with NVIDIA GPU:

```bash

python app_animals.py # animals mode 🐱🐶

```



You can specify the `--server_port`, `--share`, `--server_name` arguments to satisfy your needs!



🚀 We also provide an acceleration option `--flag_do_torch_compile`. The first-time inference triggers an optimization process (about one minute), making subsequent inferences 20-30% faster. Performance gains may vary with different CUDA versions.

```bash

# enable torch.compile for faster inference

python app.py --flag_do_torch_compile

```

**Note**: This method is not supported on Windows and macOS.



**Or, try it out effortlessly on [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/spaces/KwaiVGI/LivePortrait) 🤗**



### 5. Inference speed evaluation 🚀🚀🚀

We have also provided a script to evaluate the inference speed of each module:



```bash

# For NVIDIA GPU

python speed.py

```



The results are [**here**](./assets/docs/speed.md).

## Ethics Considerations 🛡️

Portrait animation technologies come with social risks, particularly the potential for misuse in creating deepfakes. To mitigate these risks, it’s crucial to follow ethical guidelines and adopt responsible usage practices. At present, the synthesized results contain visual artifacts that may help in detecting deepfakes.
