Browser interface for generating and editing images with Stable Diffusion

What it is

A Gradio-based web app that runs Stable Diffusion models locally for text-to-image and image-to-image generation, with inpainting, outpainting, upscaling, face restoration, and checkpoint merging. It supports LoRAs, embeddings, hypernetworks, prompt weighting, and a large ecosystem of community extensions, plus an HTTP API. Hobbyists and digital artists with a consumer GPU use it to produce and refine AI images on their own hardware, and can also train embeddings from the built-in tab.
