Installation guide | Troubleshooting guide | ^{(for support queries, and development discussions)}

Installation

Click the download button for your operating system:

The installer will take care of whatever is needed. If you face any problems, you can join the friendly Discord community and ask for assistance.

On Windows:

1. Run the downloaded Easy-Diffusion-Windows.exe file.
2. Run Easy Diffusion once the installation finishes. You can also start from your Start Menu, or from your desktop (if you created a shortcut).

If Windows SmartScreen prevents you from running the program click More info and then Run anyway.

Tip: On Windows 10, please install at the top level in your drive, e.g. C:\EasyDiffusion or D:\EasyDiffusion. This will avoid a common problem with Windows 10 (file path length limits).

On Linux/Mac:

1. Unzip/extract the folder easy-diffusion which should be in your downloads folder, unless you changed your default downloads destination.
2. Open a terminal window, and navigate to the easy-diffusion directory.
3. Run ./start.sh (or bash start.sh) in a terminal.

To remove/uninstall:

Just delete the EasyDiffusion folder to uninstall all the downloaded packages.

• Task Queue: Queue up all your ideas, without waiting for the current task to finish.
• Intelligent Model Detection: Automatically figures out the YAML config file to use for the chosen model (via a models database).
• Live Preview: See the image as the AI is drawing it.
• Image Modifiers: A library of modifier tags like "Realistic", "Pencil Sketch", "ArtStation" etc. Experiment with various styles quickly.
• Multiple Prompts File: Queue multiple prompts by entering one prompt per line, or by running a text file.
• Save generated images to disk: Save your images to your PC!
• UI Themes: Customize the program to your liking.
• Searchable models dropdown: organize your models into sub-folders, and search through them in the UI.

Image generation

• Supports: "Text to Image" and "Image to Image".
• 19 Samplers: ddim, plms, heun, euler, euler_a, dpm2, dpm2_a, lms, dpm_solver_stability, dpmpp_2s_a, dpmpp_2m, dpmpp_sde, dpm_fast, dpm_adaptive, unipc_snr, unipc_tu, unipc_tq, unipc_snr_2, unipc_tu_2.
• In-Painting: Specify areas of your image to paint into.
• Simple Drawing Tool: Draw basic images to guide the AI, without needing an external drawing program.
• Face Correction (GFPGAN)
• Upscaling (RealESRGAN)
• Loopback: Use the output image as the input image for the next img2img task.
• 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: Quickly create multiple variations of your prompt, e.g. a photograph of an astronaut riding a horse | illustration | cinematic lighting.
• 1-click Upscale/Face Correction: Upscale or correct an image after it has been generated.
• Make Similar Images: Click to generate multiple variations of a generated image.
• NSFW Setting: A setting in the UI to control NSFW content.

Advanced features

• Custom Models: Use your own .ckpt or .safetensors file, by placing it inside the models/stable-diffusion folder!
• Stable Diffusion 2.1 support
• Merge Models
• Use custom VAE models
• Use pre-trained Hypernetworks
• Use custom GFPGAN models
• UI Plugins: Choose from a growing list of community-generated UI plugins, or write your own plugin to add features to the project!

Performance and security

• Fast: Creates a 512x512 image with euler_a in 5 seconds, on an NVIDIA 3060 12GB.
• Low Memory Usage: Create 512x512 images with less than 3 GB of GPU RAM, and 768x768 images with less than 4 GB of GPU RAM!
• Use CPU setting: If you don't have a compatible graphics card, but still want to run it on your CPU.
• Multi-GPU support: Automatically spreads your tasks across multiple GPUs (if available), for faster performance!
• Auto scan for malicious models: Uses picklescan to prevent malicious models.
• Safetensors support: Support loading models in the safetensor format, for improved safety.
• Auto-updater: Gets you the latest improvements and bug-fixes to a rapidly evolving project.
