AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion Web UI (SD WebUI, A1111, or Automatic1111cite-ref-acm-oct-2023-3-0[3]) is an open source generative artificial intelligence program that allows users to generate images from a text prompt.cite-ref-theregister-4-0[4] It uses Stable Diffusion as the base model for its image capabilities together with a large set of extensions and features to customize its output.cite-ref-howtogeek-5-0[5]

History

SD WebUI was released on GitHub on August 22, 2022, by AUTOMATIC1111,cite-ref-githubrelease-1-1[1] 1 month after the initial release of Stable Diffusion.cite-ref-stablediffusionrelease-6-0[6] At the time, Stable Diffusion could only be run via the command line.cite-ref-howtogeek-5-1[5] SD WebUI quickly rose in popularity and has been described as "the most popular tool for running diffusion models locally."cite-ref-theregister-4-1[4]cite-ref-zhu-7-0[7] A user study of six StableDiffusion users showed that all participants had used SD WebUI at least once.cite-ref-acm-oct-2023-3-1[3] The study showed that users ascribe SD WebUI's popularity to its ease of installation and support for open source tools.cite-ref-acm-oct-2023-3-2[3] SD WebUI is one of the most popular user interfaces for Stable Diffusion, together with ComfyUI.cite-ref-hu-2024-8-0[8] In February 2024, a book was published by ja:Gijutsu Hyoronsha on using Stable Diffusion with SD WebUI in Japanese.cite-ref-9-0[9]cite-ref-gihyo-jp-10-0[10] As of July 2024, the project had 136,000 stars on GitHub.cite-ref-gihubrepo-11-0[11]

Features

SD WebUI uses Gradio for its user interface.cite-ref-koreascience-12-0[12]cite-ref-iasdr-13-0[13]cite-ref-pcguidegradio-14-0[14] Each parameter in the Stable Diffusion program is exposed via a UI interface within SD WebUI. SD WebUI contains additional parameters not included in Stable Diffusion itself, such as support for Low-rank adaptations, ControlNet and custom variational autoencoders.cite-ref-koreascience-12-1[12]cite-ref-iasdr-13-1[13]cite-ref-pcguide-15-0[15] SD WebUI supports prompt weighting, image-to-image based generation, inpainting, outpainting and image scaling.cite-ref-phoenix-taylor-16-0[16] It supports over 20 samplers including DDIM, Euler, Euler a, DPM++ 2M Karras, and UniPC.cite-ref-phoenix-taylor-16-1[16]cite-ref-zhang-jiang-17-0[17] It is also used for its various optimizations over the base Stable Diffusion.cite-ref-howtogeek-5-2[5]

Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge

Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge (Forge) is a notable fork of SD WebUI started by Lvmin Zhang, who is also the creator of ControlNet and Fooocus.cite-ref-pc-watch-14-february-2024-18-0[18]cite-ref-ascii-february-26-2024-19-0[19] The initial goal of Forge was to improve the performance and features of SD WebUI with the intention to upstream changes back to SD WebUI.cite-ref-pc-watch-14-february-2024-18-1[18]cite-ref-ascii-february-26-2024-19-1[19] One of Forge's optimizations allowed users with low VRAM to generate images faster on some versions of Stable Diffusion.cite-ref-pc-watch-14-february-2024-18-2[18] It improved generation speed for users with 8GB and 6GB VRAM by 30-45% and 60-75%, respectively.cite-ref-pc-watch-14-february-2024-18-3[18]cite-ref-ascii-february-26-2024-19-2[19] Forge also includes extra features such as support for more samplers than standard SD WebUI.cite-ref-geeky-gadgets-14-february-2024-20-0[20] Some of Forge's optimizations were borrowed from ComfyUI, and others were developed by the Forge team.cite-ref-ascii-february-26-2024-19-3[19] In August 2024, Forge added support for the Flux diffusion model developed by Black Forest Labs, which is not yet supported by SD WebUI.cite-ref-ascii-august-18-2024-21-0[21]
