Stable Diffusion web UI

A web interface for Stable Diffusion, implemented using Gradio library.

Features

Detailed feature showcase with images:

• Original txt2img and img2img modes
• One click install and run script (but you still must install python and git)
• Outpainting
• Inpainting
• Color Sketch
• Prompt Matrix
• Stable Diffusion Upscale
• Attention, specify parts of text that the model should pay more attention to
  • a man in a ((tuxedo)) - will pay more attention to tuxedo
  • a man in a (tuxedo:1.21) - alternative syntax
  • select text and press Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Down (or Command+Up or Command+Down if you're on a MacOS) to automatically adjust attention to selected text (code contributed by anonymous user)
• Loopback, run img2img processing multiple times
• X/Y/Z plot, a way to draw a 3 dimensional plot of images with different parameters
• Textual Inversion
  • have as many embeddings as you want and use any names you like for them
  • use multiple embeddings with different numbers of vectors per token
  • works with half precision floating point numbers
  • train embeddings on 8GB (also reports of 6GB working)
• Extras tab with:
  • GFPGAN, neural network that fixes faces
  • CodeFormer, face restoration tool as an alternative to GFPGAN
  • RealESRGAN, neural network upscaler
  • ESRGAN, neural network upscaler with a lot of third party models
  • SwinIR and Swin2SR (see here), neural network upscalers
  • LDSR, Latent diffusion super resolution upscaling
• Resizing aspect ratio options
• Sampling method selection
  • Adjust sampler eta values (noise multiplier)
  • More advanced noise setting options
• Interrupt processing at any time
• 4GB video card support (also reports of 2GB working)
• Correct seeds for batches
• Live prompt token length validation
• Generation parameters
  • parameters you used to generate images are saved with that image
  • in PNG chunks for PNG, in EXIF for JPEG
  • can drag the image to PNG info tab to restore generation parameters and automatically copy them into UI
  • can be disabled in settings
  • drag and drop an image/text-parameters to promptbox
• Read Generation Parameters Button, loads parameters in promptbox to UI
• Settings page
• Running arbitrary python code from UI (must run with --allow-code to enable)
• Mouseover hints for most UI elements
• Possible to change defaults/mix/max/step values for UI elements via text config
• Tiling support, a checkbox to create images that can be tiled like textures
• Progress bar and live image generation preview
  • Can use a separate neural network to produce previews with almost none VRAM or compute requirement
• Negative prompt, an extra text field that allows you to list what you don't want to see in generated image
• Styles, a way to save part of prompt and easily apply them via dropdown later
• Variations, a way to generate same image but with tiny differences
• Seed resizing, a way to generate same image but at slightly different resolution
• CLIP interrogator, a button that tries to guess prompt from an image
• Prompt Editing, a way to change prompt mid-generation, say to start making a watermelon and switch to anime girl midway
• Batch Processing, process a group of files using img2img
• Img2img Alternative, reverse Euler method of cross attention control
• Highres Fix, a convenience option to produce high resolution pictures in one click without usual distortions
• Reloading checkpoints on the fly
• Checkpoint Merger, a tab that allows you to merge up to 3 checkpoints into one
• Custom scripts with many extensions from community
• Composable-Diffusion, a way to use multiple prompts at once
  • separate prompts using uppercase AND
  • also supports weights for prompts: a cat :1.2 AND a dog AND a penguin :2.2
• No token limit for prompts (original stable diffusion lets you use up to 75 tokens)
• DeepDanbooru integration, creates danbooru style tags for anime prompts
• xformers, major speed increase for select cards: (add --xformers to commandline args)
• via extension: History tab: view, direct and delete images conveniently within the UI
• Generate forever option
• Training tab
  • hypernetworks and embeddings options
  • Preprocessing images: cropping, mirroring, autotagging using BLIP or deepdanbooru (for anime)
• Clip skip
• Hypernetworks
• Loras (same as Hypernetworks but more pretty)
• A separate UI where you can choose, with preview, which embeddings, hypernetworks or Loras to add to your prompt
• Can select to load a different VAE from settings screen
• Estimated completion time in progress bar
• API
• Support for dedicated inpainting model by RunwayML
• via extension: Aesthetic Gradients, a way to generate images with a specific aesthetic by using clip images embeds (implementation of https://github.com/vicgalle/stable-diffusion-aesthetic-gradients)
• Stable Diffusion 2.0 support - see wiki for instructions
• Alt-Diffusion support - see wiki for instructions
• Now without any bad letters!
• Load checkpoints in safetensors format
• Eased resolution restriction: generated image's dimensions must be a multiple of 8 rather than 64
• Now with a license!
• Reorder elements in the UI from settings screen
• Segmind Stable Diffusion support

Installation and Running

Make sure the required dependencies are met and follow the instructions available for:

• NVidia (recommended)
• AMD GPUs.
• Intel CPUs, Intel GPUs (both integrated and discrete) (external wiki page)
• Ascend NPUs (external wiki page)

Alternatively, use online services (like Google Colab):

• List of Online Services

Installation on Windows 10/11 with NVidia-GPUs using release package

1. Download sd.webui.zip from v1.0.0-pre and extract its contents.
2. Run update.bat.
3. Run run.bat.

For more details see Install-and-Run-on-NVidia-GPUs

Automatic Installation on Windows

1. Install Python 3.10.6 (Newer version of Python does not support torch), checking "Add Python to PATH".
2. Install git.
3. Download the stable-diffusion-webui repository, for example by running git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git.
4. Run webui-user.bat from Windows Explorer as normal, non-administrator, user.

Automatic Installation on Linux

1. Install the dependencies:

# Debian-based:
sudo apt install wget git python3 python3-venv libgl1 libglib2.0-0
# Red Hat-based:
sudo dnf install wget git python3 gperftools-libs libglvnd-glx
# openSUSE-based:
sudo zypper install wget git python3 libtcmalloc4 libglvnd
# Arch-based:
sudo pacman -S wget git python3

If your system is very new, you need to install python3.11 or python3.10:

# Ubuntu 24.04
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.11

# Manjaro/Arch
sudo pacman -S yay
yay -S python311 # do not confuse with python3.11 package

# Only for 3.11
# Then set up env variable in launch script
export python_cmd="python3.11"
# or in webui-user.sh
python_cmd="python3.11"

2. Navigate to the directory you would like the webui to be installed and execute the following command:

wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/master/webui.sh

Or just clone the repo wherever you want:

git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

3. Run webui.sh.
4. Check webui-user.sh for options.
