FFHQ (Flickr-Faces-HQ)

Introduced by Tero Karras et al. in A Style-Based Generator Architecture for Generative Adversarial Networks1 Jan 2019 archive 2025-07-28

Flickr-Faces-HQ (FFHQ) consists of 70,000 high-quality PNG images at 1024×1024 resolution and contains considerable variation in terms of age, ethnicity and image background. It also has good coverage of accessories such as eyeglasses, sunglasses, hats, etc. The images were crawled from Flickr, thus inheriting all the biases of that website, and automatically aligned and cropped using dlib. Only images under permissive licenses were collected. Various automatic filters were used to prune the set, and finally Amazon Mechanical Turk was used to remove the occasional statues, paintings, or photos of photos.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

30 shown of 59 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 1,468. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-25), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
