Open-source AI image generator — Stable Diffusion made easy with Midjourney-level quality.
What is Fooocus?
Fooocus is an open-source image generation tool that brings Midjourney-level quality to a free, locally-run application. Built on Stable Diffusion XL, it strips away the complexity of traditional SD interfaces (no need to tune samplers, schedulers, or CFG scales) and focuses on just a prompt and a generate button. Despite its simplicity, it produces stunning results thanks to carefully tuned default parameters and built-in prompt enhancement. The tool supports inpainting, outpainting, image-to-image, face swap, upscaling, and style transfer. Running locally means no usage limits, no censorship, and complete privacy. Requires a GPU with 4GB+ VRAM. One of the most popular open-source AI projects on GitHub with 40K+ stars.
