AI image generator focusing on prompts and generating — a Midjourney-like experience offline

Overview

Fooocus is an open-source image generating software based on Gradio that rethinks the image generator experience. Unlike traditional tools requiring extensive parameter tweaking, Fooocus lets you focus purely on prompts and images — similar to Midjourney but running completely offline and free. It uses Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) under the hood with an offline GPT-2 based prompt processing engine for beautiful results regardless of prompt length. Minimal GPU requirement is 4GB (Nvidia). Features include text-to-image, inpaint/outpaint, image upscaling, style presets, image prompt support, and multiple launchers for anime and realistic styles.
