## About

## What it does
Face Restoration restores and sharpens all faces found in an image, while keeping the original image resolution unchanged. Send a single image file and get back an enhanced image file.

Use Face Restoration when you need to improve portrait quality in user-uploaded photos, scanned prints, or old images that have softened facial detail. It is designed for image workflows where the important part is clearer faces, not a different output size or a redesigned composition.

The endpoint accepts one binary `file` upload with a maximum size of 20 MB. The response is a binary image, so you can store it, pass it to the next step in your pipeline, or return it directly to a client.

This fits moderation, archival cleanup, profile-photo enhancement, and media processing pipelines where face detail matters more than broad image editing.

## Usage
