Try it on WavespeedAI!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
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the image you want to generate. |
| image | No | Source image for image-to-image transformation. |
| width | No | Output width in pixels (default: 1024). |
| height | No | Output height in pixels (default: 1024). |
| seed | No | Set for reproducibility; -1 for random. |
| enable_base64_output | No | Return base64 string instead of URL (API only). |
How to Use
Text-to-Image:
- Write a prompt describing the image you want. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
- Set dimensions — adjust width and height for your desired aspect ratio.
- Set a seed (optional) for reproducible results.
- Click Run and download your image.
Image-to-Image:
- Upload a source image.
- Write a prompt describing the transformation you want.
- Adjust dimensions and set a seed (optional).
- 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.

| Per image | $0.0035 |
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.
