A Stable Diffusion desktop frontend with inpainting, img2img and more

I was frustrated with laggy notebook stable diffusion demos. Plus they usually didn't have all the features I wanted (for example some of them only had inpainting and some only had img2img, so if I wanted both I had to repeatedly copy images between notebooks). So I made this desktop frontend which has much smoother performance than notebook alternatives and integrates image generation, inpainting and img2img into the same workflow. See a video demo here: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6392321/191858568-... Features include: * Can run locally or connect to a…

A Stable Diffusion desktop frontend with inpainting, img2img and more launched on September 23, 2022 with 46 votes, #895 of 3,464 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

This is a desktop application for running Stable Diffusion locally or remotely, offering image generation, inpainting, and img2img capabilities in a single interface. It addresses limitations of notebook-based alternatives by providing smoother performance and consolidating features that typically require switching between multiple tools. The application supports local execution or connection to cloud servers like Google Colab, and includes tools for erasing and painting custom colors directly into images to guide the AI's output.

    Hey everyone! Excited to be able to share the release of `InvokeAI 2.0 - A Stable Diffusion Toolkit`, an open source project that aims to provide both enthusiasts and professionals a suite of robust image creation tools. Optimized for efficiency, InvokeAI needs only ~3.5GB of VRAM to generate a 512x768 image (and less for smaller images), and is compatible with Windows/Linux/Mac (M1 & M2). InvokeAI was one of the earliest forks off of the core CompVis repo (formerly lstein/stable-diffusion), and recently evolved into a full-fledged community driven and open source stable…

    Stock Photos Using Stable Diffusion2022 · ghostlystock.com · ▲190

    Hi HN, this is an early version of what we’re imagining as a truly functional stock photo platform using Stable Diffusion. We’re doing our best to hide the customization prompts on the back end so users are able to quickly search for pre-existing generated photos, or create new ones that would ideally work as well. If we keep going with it, in future versions we’d like to add voting, better tags, and more varied prompts, or maybe whatever you recommend!

  • A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…
