# Stable Diffusion web UI A browser interface based on Gradio library for Stable Diffusion. Original script with Gradio UI was written by a kind anonymous user. This is a modification. ![](screenshot.png) ## Feature showcase [Detailed feature showcase with images, art by Greg Rutkowski](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui-feature-showcase) - Original txt2img and img2img modes - One click install and run script (but you still must install python, git and CUDA) - Outpainting - Inpainting - Prompt matrix - Stable Diffusion upscale - Attention - Loopback - X/Y plot - Textual Inversion - Extras tab with: - GFPGAN, neural network that fixes faces - RealESRGAN, neural network upscaler - ESRGAN, neural network with a lot of third party models - Resizing aspect ratio options - Sampling method selection - Interrupt processing at any time - 4GB videocard support - Correct seeds for batches - Prompt length validation - Generation parameters added as text to PNG - Tab to view an existing picture's generation parameters - Settings page - Running custom code from UI - Mouseover hints fo most UI elements - Possible to change defaults/mix/max/step values for UI elements via text config ## Installing and running You need [python](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) and [git](https://git-scm.com/download/win) installed to run this, and an NVidia videocard. I tested the installation to work Windows with Python 3.8.10, and with Python 3.10.6. You may be able to have success with different versions. You need `model.ckpt`, Stable Diffusion model checkpoint, a big file containing the neural network weights. You can obtain it from the following places: - [official download](https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v-1-4-original) - [file storage](https://drive.yerf.org/wl/?id=EBfTrmcCCUAGaQBXVIj5lJmEhjoP1tgl) - magnet:?xt=urn:btih:3a4a612d75ed088ea542acac52f9f45987488d1c&dn=sd-v1-4.ckpt&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337 You optionally can use GPFGAN to improve faces, then you'll need to download the model from [here](https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN/releases/download/v1.3.0/GFPGANv1.3.pth). To use ESRGAN models, put them into ESRGAN directory in the same location as webui.py. A file will be loaded as model if it has .pth extension. Grab models from the [Model Database](https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database). ### Automatic installation/launch - install [Python 3.10.6](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) - install [git](https://git-scm.com/download/win) - install [CUDA 11.3](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-11.3.0-download-archive?target_os=Windows&target_arch=x86_64) - place `model.ckpt` into webui directory, next to `webui.bat`. - _*(optional)*_ place `GFPGANv1.3.pth` into webui directory, next to `webui.bat`. - run `webui.bat` from Windows Explorer. #### Troublehooting: - According to reports, intallation currently does not work in a directory with spaces in filenames. - if your version of Python is not in PATH (or if another version is), edit `webui.bat`, change the line `set PYTHON=python` to say the full path to your python executable: `set PYTHON=B:\soft\Python310\python.exe`. You can do this for python, but not for git. - if you get out of memory errors and your videocard has low amount of VRAM (4GB), edit `webui.bat`, change line 5 to from `set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=` to `set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--medvram` (see below for other possible options) - installer creates python virtual environment, so none of installed modules will affect your system installation of python if you had one prior to installing this. - to prevent the creation of virtual environment and use your system python, edit `webui.bat` replacing `set VENV_DIR=venv` with `set VENV_DIR=`. - webui.bat installs requirements from files `requirements_versions.txt`, which lists versions for modules specifically compatible with Python 3.10.6. If you choose to install for a different version of python, editing `webui.bat` to have `set REQS_FILE=requirements.txt` instead of `set REQS_FILE=requirements_versions.txt` may help (but I still reccomend you to just use the recommended version of python). - if you feel you broke something and want to reinstall from scratch, delete directories: `venv`, `repositories`. ### Manual instructions Alternatively, if you don't want to run webui.bat, here are instructions for installing everything by hand: ```commandline :: crate a directory somewhere for stable diffusion and open cmd in it; :: make sure you are in the right directory; the command must output the directory you chose echo %cd% :: install torch with CUDA support. See https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/ for more instructions if this fails. pip install torch --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113 :: check if torch supports GPU; this must output "True". You need CUDA 11. installed for this. You might be able to use :: a different version, but this is what I tested. python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())" :: clone Stable Diffusion repositories git clone https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion.git git clone https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers :: install requirements of Stable Diffusion pip install transformers==4.19.2 diffusers invisible-watermark :: install k-diffusion pip install git+https://github.com/crowsonkb/k-diffusion.git :: (optional) install GFPGAN to fix faces pip install git+https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN.git :: go into stable diffusion's repo directory cd stable-diffusion :: clone web ui git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git :: install requirements of web ui pip install -r stable-diffusion-webui/requirements.txt :: update numpy to latest version pip install -U numpy :: (outside of command line) put stable diffusion model into models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/model.ckpt; you'll have :: to create one missing directory; :: the command below must output something like: 1 File(s) 4,265,380,512 bytes dir models\ldm\stable-diffusion-v1\model.ckpt :: (outside of command line) put the GFPGAN model into same directory as webui script :: the command below must output something like: 1 File(s) 348,632,874 bytes dir stable-diffusion-webui\GFPGANv1.3.pth ``` After that the installation is finished. Run the command to start web ui: ``` python stable-diffusion-webui/webui.py ``` If you have a 4GB video card, run the command with either `--lowvram` or `--medvram` argument: ``` python stable-diffusion-webui/webui.py --medvram ``` After a while, you will get a message like this: ``` Running on local URL: http://127.0.0.1:7860/ ``` Open the URL in browser, and you are good to go. ### What options to use for low VRAM videocardsd? - If you have 4GB VRAM and want to make 512x512 (or maybe up to 640x640) images, use `--medvram`. - If you have 4GB VRAM and want to make 512x512 images, but you get an out of memory error with `--medvram`, use `--lowvram --always-batch-cond-uncond` instead. - If you have 4GB VRAM and want to make images larger than you can with `--medvram`, use `--lowvram`. - If you have more VRAM and want to make larger images than you can usually make, use `--medvram`. You can use `--lowvram` also but the effect will likely be barely noticeable. - Otherwise, do not use any of those. Extra: if you get a green screen instead of generated pictures, you have a card that doesn't support half precision floating point numbers. You must use `--precision full --no-half` in addition to other flags, and the model will take much more space in VRAM.
