Getting Started with Stable Diffusion
Getting started with Stable Diffusion is easy. You can use the Stable diffusion model online through DreamStudio web interface. You can also set it up locally. Hugging Face also provides an online platform to access the stable diffusion models.
You can choose online platforms like DreamStudio or Hugging Face for an easy start without hardware setup. Setting up locally is a good idea if you want more control over the functionalities.
Access Stable Diffusion using DreamStudio
If you wish to start using the Stable Diffusion model immediately, you can use it online using the DreamStudio tool, which is a web interface designed by Stability AI to help users access the latest models released in image editing and generating, video generation and 3D modeling.
To get started, click here to open the interface online. Once the console is opened, you will find "Try DreamStudio for free," which you have to click to start generating.
On the left of the screen, you will find a designated column to enter the prompt and generate images. DreamStudio would generate four images simultaneously in 15 seconds giving you options to choose an image that is closely aligning with your prompt. Additionally, the model learns what type of images are mostly preferred.
New users receive 100 free credits to try DreamStudio which is enough to generate around 500 images. Additional credits can be purchased based on your convenience.
