## About

## What it does
Face Restore enhances detected face regions in an image and returns the restored image as binary output. Send a single image file in the request body, and use the optional `strength` query parameter to control how strongly the face restoration is applied.

Use Face Restore when you need to clean up portraits, profile photos, or scanned images where faces are soft, degraded, or low quality. It is designed for image workflows where you want to improve facial detail without changing the rest of the file structure in your pipeline.

The API accepts one binary `file` upload up to 20 MB. The response is a binary image, so you can store it, pass it to another image step, or return it directly to a user interface. Because the output is just the restored image file, it fits neatly into automated moderation, media cleanup, and photo enhancement flows.

Tune `strength` between 0 and 1 to balance subtle enhancement against stronger restoration. Lower values keep the result closer to the original image; higher values apply more aggressive face enhancement.

## Usage

Authenticate with an ApyHub API key in the `apy-token` header.
