A Large-scale Evaluation of Text-guided Models for Facial Editing

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 28, 2026 · UTC

Facial appearance editing powers popular applications like FaceApp and Photoshop. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and 3D Morphable Models (3DMMs) have been widely used for facial editing. GANs can perform varied facial edits (e.g., changing hair color, hairstyle), but often produce unstable edits. 3DMMs produce stable edits, but can only alter pose and facial expression. Recently, text-guided diffusion models like Nano Banana have become popular for image editing. Text-guided models are a compelling alternative to GANs and 3DMMs since they can produce both stable and varied image edits.
