Web UI For Generative AI Images
Stable Diffusion is a diffusion-based text-to-image model. The model combines diffusion models with other models, such as text-encoders and cross-attention modules to allow text-conditioned generation.
Easy Diffusion is a Stable Diffusion UI that is simple to install and easy to use.
From the Github description, “An easy 1-click way to create beautiful artwork on your PC using AI, with no tech knowledge.”.
The Github page lists the hardware requirements.
The focus of this tutorial will be using the Easy Diffusion application to answer simple requests by generating bitmap images.

- A screenshot of a popular desktop environment.
- A photograph of an astronaut riding a horse.
- A picture of a chicken run.
- A picture of a man wearing a watch.
- A picture of a spider web on sockets.

Usage
Easy Diffusion can be installed at the any time after installing Python. Easy Diffusion can be downloaded from Easy Diffusion. Python can be downloaded from Python language. The initial screen displays a text prompt. It answers questions promptly and will let you know its limits such as request to generate a high resolution image with limited resources. The standard definition images are decent, but overlaid text is terrible (known issue with all text-to0image models).
