Today we will dive into the world of DragGAN with you. The neural network was launched only yesterday and today we can already install it and draw the first conclusions. The neural network positions itself as a new AI tool created by scientists to simplify the work with images. Its main feature is simplicity and the fact that when you drag certain points on a photo, it changes the positions of parts, faces, and objects and draws them depending on the location.
Okay, I overdid it a little with the killer, so for the effect, of course, it won’t replace Photoshop, but it can be a nice addition for designers and photographers, it’s very convenient and interesting. Let's start with a little theory.

DragGAN AI is a powerful AI editing tool that allows users to easily modify photos using a unique drag-and-drop interface. This new tool is the result of a collaboration between Google, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, and MIT CSAIL researchers.
The DragGAN AI editing tool is easy to use. Users can quickly upload an image and then edit it interactively using simple drag-and-drop capabilities. DragGAN creates a new version that seamlessly incorporates user-desired changes by simply dragging dots on the image.
DragGAN has a wide range of tools that allow users to edit photos in a variety of ways. Some of the most important features:
- Change the size and shape of objects in an image.
- Objects can be added to or removed from an image.
- Change the color of objects present in the image.
- Text inside an image can be included or removed.
Installation
As for the installation, it’s really not easy and I won’t describe it here, since this is a review on a neural network and not an installation guide, so I’ll leave you a couple of links, thanks to which you can, if you really want, install it yourself. Maybe later I will make an installation guide.

DragGAN photo editor features
DragGAN is an advanced technology that provides interactive point change in the image. This advanced application has a number of features that take image editing to a whole new level.
Excellent Control: Users can precisely control image distortion. Instead of wide and inaccurate adjustments, this technology allows users to edit pixels with the highest precision, producing the desired effect.
Versatility: It allows users to modify photos in a variety of ways, including changing poses, shapes, emotions, and layouts. Its flexibility makes it a great tool for a wide range of image editing jobs.
Efficiency: It works quickly, often taking only a few seconds to change an image. This efficiency ensures that users' editing work is done efficiently and effectively.
High Accuracy: This high degree of accuracy makes it a reliable tool for applications requiring precise and realistic visual changes.
Price
For free.
DragGAN for clothing editing or product business.
According to the developers, DragGAN should work both on video cards with CUDA cores and on chips without support for this technology. M1 and M2 processors created by Apple are also supported.
The creators of the project did not specify how productive hardware would be needed to use DragGAN. You can use the neural network both under Linux and Mac OS, and under Windows.

Conclusion:
An interesting and breakthrough technology that will undoubtedly simplify a lot of work for designers, photographers, and possibly ordinary people.
There are a lot of advantages in it, you yourself see everything. But there is also a minus, as for me, while it is a little heavy to install for ordinary people, but let's take into account that it was released to full access only yesterday, which means that people need to give it a little time to test it, fix bugs and think in half a year, we can even expect it as a program or application like Photoshop. Or maybe they will make some kind of simple web version in the browser, although then it will have to be cut down very much.
So here's a review. I did it for a decent time, and if you liked it, then subscribe to my tg, there are a lot of interesting things coming out every day =)
