Stable Diffusion is an online platform that uses an AI text-to-image diffusion model, called Stable Diffusion XL, to generate photo-realistic images given any text input. Stable Diffusion empowers users to create stunning art within seconds for free. The platform's easy-to-use interface lets even novice users generate high-quality images in seconds.

Stable Diffusion XL is unique in that it provides a high degree of control over the output. It can produce output using various descriptive text inputs like style, frame, or presets. It can also add or replace parts of images thanks to inpainting and extending the size of an image, called outpainting.

The Stable Diffusion XL model is based on a dataset of the 2b English language label subset of LAION 5b, a general crawl of the internet created by the German charity LAION. Stable Diffusion generates images using a compression process that destroys the image by adding noise, and the model is trained to reverse this process and regenerate the image from scratch.

Stable Diffusion is GPU-enabled and provides fast generation, making it perfect for running a quick sentence through the model and getting results back rapidly. The platform is designed to protect users' privacy, as it does not collect or use any personal information, neither store any text or image.

Stable Diffusion provides a prompt database feature where users can search more than 9 million stable diffusion prompts from all over the world to create better prompts. The platform is open to artists and users opting-in or out of including their work in the training data.

Stable Diffusion is fully open source, and the images it generates are released under the CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication. Users can use Stable Diffusion for both commercial and non-commercial purposes under its permissive license. Stable Diffusion continues to work on new features to further empower users to create more stunning and creative images in the future.
