deepface
A lightweight Python library for face recognition and facial attribute analysis (age, gender, emotion, race) with a unified API.
What is deepface?
DeepFace is a lightweight Python library for face recognition and facial attribute analysis. It provides a unified API to perform tasks like verifying if two faces belong to the same person, finding similar faces in a database, and analyzing facial attributes such as age, gender, emotion, and race. The framework wraps multiple state-of-the-art models and handles the entire face recognition pipeline, making it easy to integrate advanced computer vision capabilities into applications.
Python developers and researchers working on computer vision projects, especially those needing face recognition, facial analysis, or biometric applications without deep expertise in underlying models.
Developers choose DeepFace for its simplicity, comprehensive feature set, and flexibility—it supports multiple models and detectors, offers both local and database-backed search, includes real-time analysis, and provides security features like encrypted embeddings, all through a clean, minimal API.
