2024/07/17: 🍎 We support macOS with Apple Silicon, modified from jeethu's PR #143.2024/07/10: 💪 We support audio and video concatenating, driving video auto-cropping, and template making to protect privacy. More to see here.2024/07/09: 🤗 We released the HuggingFace Space, thanks to the HF team and Gradio!2024/07/04: 😊 We released the initial version of the inference code and models. Continuous updates, stay tuned!2024/07/04: 🔥 We released the homepage and technical report on arXiv.
This repo, named LivePortrait, contains the official PyTorch implementation of our paper LivePortrait: Efficient Portrait Animation with Stitching and Retargeting Control. 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) 💖.
git clone https://github.com/KwaiVGI/LivePortrait
cd LivePortrait
# create env using conda
conda create -n LivePortrait python==3.9
conda activate LivePortrait
# install dependencies with pip (for Linux and Windows)
pip install -r requirements.txt
# for macOS with Apple Silicon
pip install -r requirements_macOS.txtNote: make sure your system has FFmpeg installed, including both ffmpeg and ffprobe!
The easiest way to download the pretrained weights is from HuggingFace:
# first, ensure git-lfs is installed, see: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/installing-git-large-file-storage
git lfs install
# clone and move the weights
git clone https://huggingface.co/KwaiVGI/LivePortrait temp_pretrained_weights
mv temp_pretrained_weights/* pretrained_weights/
rm -rf temp_pretrained_weightsAlternatively, you can download all pretrained weights from Google Drive or Baidu Yun. Unzip and place them in ./pretrained_weights.

# For Linux and Windows
python inference.py
# For macOS with Apple Silicon, Intel not supported, this maybe 20x slower than RTX 4090
PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1 python inference.pyIf 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, and generated result.
Or, you can change the input by specifying the -s and -d arguments:
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d0.mp4
# disable pasting back to run faster
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d0.mp4 --no_flag_pasteback
# more options to see
python inference.py -h
You can also specify an input video as the -s. (The script automatically recognize whether you have selected an image or a video as the source)
python inference.py -s assets/examples/driving/d0.mp4 -d assets/examples/driving/d3.mp4📕 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 a auto-cropping case by --flag_crop_driving_video:
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d13.mp4 --flag_crop_driving_videoIf you find the results of auto-cropping is not well, you can modify the --scale_crop_video, --vy_ratio_crop_video options to adjust the scale and offset, or do it manually.
You can also use the auto-generated motion template files ending with .pkl to speed up inference, and protect privacy, such as:
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d5.pklDiscover more interesting results on our Homepage 😊
We also provide a Gradio 
# For Linux and Windows:
python app.py
# For macOS with Apple Silicon, Intel not supported, this maybe 20x slower than RTX 4090
PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1 python app.pyYou 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.
# enable torch.compile for faster inference
python app.py --flag_do_torch_compileNote: This method is not supported on Windows and macOS.
Or, try it out effortlessly on HuggingFace 🤗
We have also provided a script to evaluate the inference speed of each module:
# For NVIDIA GPU
python speed.pyBelow are the results of inferring one frame on an RTX 4090 GPU using the native PyTorch framework with torch.compile:
| Model | Parameters(M) | Model Size(MB) | Inference(ms) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appearance Feature Extractor | 0.84 | 3.3 | 0.82 |
| Motion Extractor | 28.12 | 108 | 0.84 |
| Spade Generator | 55.37 | 212 | 7.59 |
| Warping Module | 45.53 | 174 | 5.21 |
| Stitching and Retargeting Modules | 0.23 | 2.3 | 0.31 |
Note: The values for the Stitching and Retargeting Modules represent the combined parameter counts and total inference time of three sequential MLP networks.
