Inspired by Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, Made for Everyone

Fooocus takes the best of both worlds:

  • Offline, Open-Source, and Free: Just like Stable Diffusion, Fooocus empowers you with complete control and privacy. No hidden fees or internet connection required.
  • Focus on the Creative, Not the Technical: Inspired by Midjourney's user-friendly approach, Fooocus minimizes technical complexities. Simply provide prompts and images, and let Fooocus handle the rest.

The developers of Fooocus have streamlined the experience. Between download and generating your first image, there are just a few clicks involved! Plus, Fooocus requires minimal GPU memory (4GB Nvidia minimum), making it accessible to a wider range of creators.

Getting Started with Fooocus

Ready to unleash your creativity? Here's a quick guide to get you started with Fooocus:

1. Download and Installation:

Head over to the Fooocus GitHub page to download the software. The download itself is manageable (around 2GB), but keep in mind the extracted folder and models will require more space (up to 24GB).

  • Choose a download location. Creating a dedicated "Fooocus" folder is recommended.
  • Extract the downloaded file.
  • Double-click the "run.bat" file. The first time you run a model's .bat file, it will download and install the model itself (takes a few minutes). Subsequent launches will be much faster.

2. User Interface:

Upon installation completion, a local browser tab will open, serving as your Fooocus interface. Now you're ready to create!

A World of Possibilities Awaits

Fooocus goes beyond simplicity. It boasts "lots of inner optimizations and quality improvements," ensuring exceptional results. Forget about fiddling with technical parameters; Fooocus empowers you to explore the depths of your imagination and create stunning visuals with ease.
