Fooocus

Fooocus presents a rethinking of image generator designs. The software is offline, open source, and free, while at the same time, similar to many online image generators like Midjourney, the manual tweaking is not needed, and users only need to focus on the prompts and images. Fooocus has also simplified the installation: between pressing "download" and generating the first image, the number of needed mouse clicks is strictly limited to less than 3. Minimal GPU memory requirement is 4GB (Nvidia). Recently many fake websites exist on Google when you search “fooocus”. Do not trust those, here is the only official source of Fooocus. The Fooocus project, built entirely on the Stable Diffusion XL architecture, is now in a state of limited long-term support (LTS) with bug fixes only. As the existing functionalities are considered as nearly free of programmartic issues (Thanks to [mashb1t's huge efforts), future updates will focus exclusively on addressing any bugs that may arise.
