### A simple 1-click way to install and use [Stable Diffusion](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion) on your own computer. No dependencies or technical knowledge required.
[](https://discord.com/invite/u9yhsFmEkB) (for support, and development discussion) | [Troubleshooting guide for common problems](Troubleshooting.md)
- **No Dependencies or Technical Knowledge Required**: 1-click install for Windows 10/11 and Linux. *No dependencies*, no need for WSL or Docker or Conda or technical setup. Just download and run!
- **Image Modifiers**: A library of *modifier tags* like *"Realistic"*, *"Pencil Sketch"*, *"ArtStation"* etc. Experiment with various styles quickly.
- **New UI**: with cleaner design
- Supports "*Text to Image*" and "*Image to Image*"
- **NSFW Setting**: A setting in the UI to control *NSFW content*
- **Use CPU setting**: If you don't have a compatible graphics card, but still want to run it on your CPU.
- **Auto-updater**: Gets you the latest improvements and bug-fixes to a rapidly evolving project.
1. Windows 10/11, or Linux. Experimental support for Mac is coming soon.
2. An NVIDIA graphics card, preferably with 6GB or more of VRAM. But if you don't have a compatible graphics card, you can still use it with a "Use CPU" setting. It'll be very slow, but it should still work.
- For Windows: After unzipping the file, please move the `stable-diffusion-ui` folder to your `C:` (or any drive like D: at the top root level). For e.g. `C:\stable-diffusion-ui`. This will avoid a common problem with Windows (of file path length limits).
- For Linux: After extracting the .tar.xz file, please open a terminal, and go to the `stable-diffusion-ui` directory.
**Pro tip:** You can also click `Use as Input` on a generated image, to use it as the input image for your next generation. This can be useful for sequentially refining the generated image with a single click.
Please try the common [troubleshooting](Troubleshooting.md) steps. If that doesn't fix it, please ask on the [discord server](https://discord.com/invite/u9yhsFmEkB), or [file an issue](https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/issues).
You can also set the configuration like `seed`, `width`, `height`, `num_outputs`, `num_inference_steps` and `guidance_scale` using the 'show' button next to 'Advanced settings'.
Use the same `seed` number to get the same image for a certain prompt. This is useful for refining a prompt without losing the basic image design. Enable the `random images` checkbox to get random images.
This version is a 1-click installer. You don't need WSL or Docker or anything beyond a working NVIDIA GPU with an updated driver. You don't need to use the command-line at all. Even if you don't have a compatible GPU, you can run it on your CPU (albeit very slowly).
It'll download the necessary files from the original [Stable Diffusion](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion) git repository, and set it up. It'll then start the browser-based interface like before.
The NSFW option is currently off (temporarily), so it'll allow NSFW images, for those people who are unable to run their prompts without hitting the NSFW filter incorrectly.
