Adapting vision transformer foundation models through parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods has become increasingly popular. These methods optimize a limited subset of parameters, enabling efficient adaptation without the need to fine-tune the entire model while still achieving competitive performance. However, traditional PEFT methods may limit the model's capacity to capture complex patterns, especially those associated with high-frequency spectra. This limitation becomes particularly problematic as existing research indicates that high-frequency features are crucial for distinguishing subtle image structures. To address this issue, we introduce FreqFit, a novel Frequency Fine-tuning module between ViT blocks to enhance model adaptability. FreqFit is simple yet surprisingly effective, and can be integrated with all existing PEFT methods to boost their performance. By manipulating features in the frequency domain, our approach allows models to capture subtle patterns more effectively. Extensive experiments on 24 datasets, using both supervised and self-supervised foundational models with various state-of-the-art PEFT methods, reveal that FreqFit consistently improves performance over the original PEFT methods with performance gains ranging from 1% to 16%. For instance, FreqFit-LoRA surpasses the performances of state-of-the-art baselines on CIFAR100 by more than 10% even without applying regularization or strong augmentation.
