Stability AI Stable Diffusion is a latent text-to-image diffusion model that generates photo-realistic images from any text prompt. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is Stability AI’s efficient and affordable text-to-image and image-to-image generation model. Generate quality images from text descriptions at an ultra-low cost — perfect for high-volume generation, prototyping, and budget-conscious projects.


Why It Stands Out

  • Ultra-affordable: Generate images at just $0.0035 each — ideal for high-volume use cases.
  • Dual mode support: Works as both text-to-image and image-to-image generator.
  • Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization for better results.
  • Flexible sizing: Customize width and height independently for any aspect ratio.
  • Fast generation: Optimized for speed and efficiency.
  • Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
promptYesText description of the image you want to generate.
imageNoSource image for image-to-image transformation.
widthNoOutput width in pixels (default: 1024).
heightNoOutput height in pixels (default: 1024).
seedNoSet for reproducibility; -1 for random.
enable_base64_outputNoReturn base64 string instead of URL (API only).

How to Use

Text-to-Image:

  1. Write a prompt describing the image you want. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
  2. Set dimensions — adjust width and height for your desired aspect ratio.
  3. Set a seed (optional) for reproducible results.
  4. Click Run and download your image.

Image-to-Image:

  1. Upload a source image.
  2. Write a prompt describing the transformation you want.
  3. Adjust dimensions and set a seed (optional).
  4. Click Run and download your transformed image.

Best Use Cases

  • High-Volume Generation — Generate thousands of images affordably.
  • Rapid Prototyping — Quickly test ideas and concepts at minimal cost.
  • Batch Processing — Create large datasets of images for training or testing.
  • Creative Exploration — Experiment with prompts without budget concerns.
  • Thumbnail Generation — Produce placeholder images and quick previews.

Pro Tips for Best Quality

  • Be descriptive in your prompt — include style, mood, lighting, and specific details.
  • Use style keywords to guide the aesthetic output.
  • Adjust dimensions to match your intended use case.
  • For image-to-image, provide a clear source image and describe the desired transformation.
  • Fix the seed when iterating to compare different prompt variations.

Notes

  • Ensure uploaded image URLs are publicly accessible.
  • Processing time varies based on resolution and current queue load.
  • Please ensure your prompts comply with content guidelines.
