AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion WebUI is a Gradio-based interface for local Stable Diffusion image generation and management. It provides text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting, upscaling, and training capabilities, with documented support for video cards with 4GB VRAM and reports of operation with 2GB.

Project overview

Project type: Model Runtime · Image & Vision
Use cases: Image Processing
Deployment: Python environment
License: AGPL-3.0

Best for

Creators seeking a local graphical web interface for Stable Diffusion image generation.
Users operating with hardware constraints such as 4GB VRAM video cards.
Developers requiring API access for programmatic image generation.

Key capabilities

Generate images from text prompts using Stable Diffusion.
Generate images from existing images and text prompts.
Modify specific parts of an image or extend its borders.
Increase image resolution using various neural network upscalers.
Fix and restore faces in generated images using GFPGAN or CodeFormer.
Train embeddings, hypernetworks, and LoRAs.
Interact with the application programmatically via an API.
Merge up to 3 checkpoints into one.

Limitations and risks

Newer versions of Python do not support torch, which may restrict the execution environment.
Running arbitrary Python code from the UI is possible if the --allow-code flag is enabled.
Cost dependency and telemetry practices are not documented.

Getting started

Download sd.webui.zip from the v1.0.0-pre release, extract its contents, run update.bat, and then run run.bat.
