15 parameters · 2 required · 13 optional
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
image | string | Required | The URL of the image to use as a starting point for the generation. |
prompt | string | Required | The prompt to use for generating the image. Be as descriptive as possible for best results. |
seed | integer | Optional | The same seed and the same prompt given to the same version of Stable Diffusion will output the same image every time. · Default: null |
loras | object[] | Optional | The list of LoRA weights to use. · Default: [] |
format | string | Optional | The format of the generated image. · Options: jpeg, png · Default: "jpeg" jpegpng |
strength | number | Optional | determines how much the generated image resembles the initial image · Min: 0.05 · Max: 1 · Default: 0.95 |
embeddings | object[] | Optional | The list of embeddings to use. · Default: [] |
request_id | string | Optional | An id bound to a request, can be used with response to identify the request itself. · Default: "" |
crop_output | boolean | Optional | If set to true, the output cropped to the proper aspect ratio after generating. · Default: false |
aspect_ratio | string | Optional | The aspect ratio of the generated image. · Options: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16 21:916:93:24:35:41:14:53:42:39:16 |
expand_prompt | boolean | Optional | If set to true, the prompt will be expanded with additional prompts. · Default: false |
guidance_scale | number | Optional | The CFG (Classifier Free Guidance) scale is a measure of how close you want the model to stick to your prompt when looking for a related image to show you. · Min: 0 · Max: 20 · Default: 7.5 |
num_inference_steps | integer | Optional | The number of inference steps to perform. · Min: 1 · Max: 65 · Default: 25 |
preserve_aspect_ratio | boolean | Optional | If set to true, the aspect ratio of the generated image will be preserved even if the image size is too large. However, if the image is not a multiple of 32 in width or height, it will be resized to the nearest multiple of 32. By default, this snapping to the nearest multiple of 32 will not preserve the aspect ratio. Set crop_output to True, to crop the output to the proper aspect ratio after generating. · Default: false |
safety_checker_version | string | Optional | The version of the safety checker to use. v1 is the default CompVis safety checker. v2 uses a custom ViT model. · Options: v1, v2 · Default: "v1" v1v2 |

Stable Diffusion XL
Stable Diffusion XL occupies a clearly bounded position in a image production pipeline under the route stability-ai/fast-sdxl/image-to-image. It is best evaluated as a named workflow endpoint rather than as a generic substitute for neighboring versions: planners can assign the route to a specific brief, record the chosen revision, and keep approval history tied to one predictable integration surface from intake through delivery.
A practical rollout of Stable Diffusion XL should begin with source-readiness checks, ownership of the submitted material, an agreed budget, and a written definition of the final image to image deliverable. Before automation is enabled, the acceptance pass should verify that the returned asset opens correctly, fits the intended downstream toolchain, satisfies the project’s review criteria, and can be reproduced from the stored request and route identity stability-ai/fast-sdxl/image-to-image.
Highlights
- Distinct output behavior. For Stable Diffusion XL, for Stable Diffusion XL, use the image field as the visual basis and the prompt as the requested direction In Stable Diffusion XL, this capability is applied through the exact stability-ai/fast-sdxl/image-to-image workflow with seed as a relevant request control; the seed control exposes the corresponding choice in this route; the seed control exposes the corresponding choice in this route.
