Stable Diffusion

The open-source image generation model that democratized AI art creation. Unlike cloud-only alternatives, Stable Diffusion can run on your own hardware — giving artists, developers, and tinkerers full control over their creative pipeline with no usage limits and complete privacy.

• Fully open-source — download the model weights and run locally on a consumer GPU • Text-to-image — generate images from detailed text prompts in seconds • Img2img — transform existing images using AI while preserving structure • Inpainting — selectively edit parts of an image while keeping the rest intact • ControlNet — guide generation with precise pose, depth, and edge control • Massive ecosystem — thousands of community fine-tunes, LoRAs, and extensions

Completely free to run locally. Cloud APIs available from various providers.
