## Step 2: Run the program
- On Windows: Double-click `Start Stable Diffusion UI.cmd`
- On Linux: Run `./start.sh` in a terminal
️‍🔥🎉 **New!** Use Custom Weights, Task Queue, Negative Prompt, Live Preview, More Samplers, In-Painting, Face Correction (GFPGAN) and Upscaling (RealESRGAN) have been added!
## Step 3: There is no step 3!
It's simple to get started. You don't need to install or struggle with Python, Anaconda, Docker etc.
This distribution currently uses Stable Diffusion 1.4. Once the model for 1.5 becomes publicly available, the model in this distribution will be updated.
The installer will take care of whatever is needed. A friendly [Discord community](https://discord.com/invite/u9yhsFmEkB) will help you if you face any problems.
# Features in the new v2 Version:
----
# Easy for new users, powerful features for advanced users

- **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!
- **Face Correction (GFPGAN) and Upscaling (RealESRGAN)**
- **In-Painting**
- **Clutter-free UI**: a friendly and simple UI, while providing a lot of powerful features
- Supports "*Text to Image*" and "*Image to Image*"
- **Custom Models**: Use your own `.ckpt` file, by placing it inside the `models/stable-diffusion` folder!
- **Live Preview**: See the image as the AI is drawing it
- **Task Queue**: Queue up all your ideas, without waiting for the current task to finish
- **Custom Models**: Use your own `.ckpt` file, by placing it inside the `models/stable-diffusion` folder!
- **Negative Prompt**: Specify aspects of the image to *remove*.
- **Lots of Samplers:** ddim, plms, heun, euler, euler_a, dpm2, dpm2_a, lms
- **In-Painting**: Specify areas of your image to paint into
- **Face Correction (GFPGAN) and Upscaling (RealESRGAN)**
- **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*"
- **Negative Prompt**: Specify aspects of the image to *remove*.
- **Attention/Emphasis:** () in the prompt increases the model's attention to enclosed words, and [] decreases it
- **Weighted Prompts:** Use weights for specific words in your prompt to change their importance, e.g. `red:2.4 dragon:1.2`
- **Prompt Matrix:** (in beta) Quickly create multiple variations of your prompt, e.g. `a photograph of an astronaut riding a horse | illustration | cinematic lighting`
- **Lots of Samplers:** ddim, plms, heun, euler, euler_a, dpm2, dpm2_a, lms
- **Multiple Prompts File:** Queue multiple prompts by entering one prompt per line, or by running a text file
- **NSFW Setting**: A setting in the UI to control *NSFW content*
- **JPEG/PNG output**
- **Save generated images to disk**
- **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.
- **Low Memory Usage**: Creates 512x512 images with less than 4GB of VRAM!
- **Developer Console**: A developer-mode for those who want to modify their Stable Diffusion code, and edit the conda environment.

### Live Preview
Useful for judging (and stopping) an image quickly, without waiting for it to finish rendering.
## Live Preview

# System Requirements
1. Windows 10/11, or Linux. Experimental support for Mac is coming soon.
2. An NVIDIA graphics card, preferably with 4GB 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.
2. An NVIDIA graphics card, preferably with 4GB or more of VRAM. If you don't have a compatible graphics card, it'll automatically run in the slower "CPU Mode".
3. Minimum 8 GB of RAM.
You do not need anything else. You do not need WSL, Docker or Conda. The installer will take care of it.

# Installation
1. **Download** [for Windows](https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/releases/download/v2.16/stable-diffusion-ui-win64.zip) or [for Linux](https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/releases/download/v2.16/stable-diffusion-ui-linux.tar.xz).
@ -56,44 +84,8 @@ This will automatically install Stable Diffusion, set it up, and start the inter
**To Uninstall:** Just delete the `stable-diffusion-ui` folder to uninstall all the downloaded packages.
# Usage
Open http://localhost:9000 in your browser (after running step 3 previously). It may take a few moments for the back-end to be ready.
## With a text description
1. Enter a text prompt, like `a photograph of an astronaut riding a horse` in the textbox.
2. Press `Make Image`. This will take some time, depending on your system's processing power.
3. See the image generated using your prompt.
## With an image
1. Click `Browse..` next to `Initial Image`. Select your desired image.
2. An optional text prompt can help you further describe the kind of image you want to generate.
3. Press `Make Image`. See the image generated using your prompt.
You can use Face Correction or Upscaling to improve the image further.
**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.
**Another tip:** Images with the same aspect ratio of your generated image work best. E.g. 1:1 if you're generating images sized 512x512.
## Problems? Troubleshooting
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).
# Image Settings
You can also set the configuration like `seed`, `width`, `height`, `num_outputs`, `num_inference_steps` and `guidance_scale` using the 'show' button next to 'Image 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.

# System Settings
The system settings are reachable via the cogwheel symbol on the top right. It can be used to configure whether all generated images should
saved be automically, or to tune the Stable Diffusion image generation.
