Categories of Stable Image Services

Stable Image services are available in following categories, each offering premium performance and tailored to specific needs.

Generate
Their text-to-image generation services utilize the latest Stable Diffusion models, with specialized fine-tunes and microservices embedded in workflows. The flagship service, Stable Image Core, requires no prompt engineering to produce high-quality images in diverse styles.

Upscale
Stability AI offers top-tier image upscaling, ranging from standard conservative upscales to creative modes that transform images into 4K masterpieces. Creative Upscale is their standout service, creating photorealistic images from low-quality inputs.

Edit
Their AI-based image editing services include inpainting with masks (generative fill) or with words. These services feature niche tools for product placement and advertising, as well as essential tools like background removal.

Erase Object
Removes unwanted objects, such as blemishes on portraits or items on desks.

Upscale
Upscales images between 64x64 pixels and 1 megapixel to 4K resolution, preserving all aspects of the original image without reimagining it.

Control
Stability AI’s image-to-image services leverage ControlNets and similar technologies built on Stable Diffusion models, allowing for precise control through prompts, maps, and other guides.

Control Sketch
Upgrades rough hand-drawn sketches to refined outputs with precise control, allowing detailed manipulation of the final appearance by leveraging the contour lines and edges within the image.

Control Structure
Excels in generating images by maintaining the structure of an input image, valuable for advanced content creation scenarios such as recreating scenes or rendering characters from models.

Outpaint
Now supports outpainting up to 2000 pixels in any direction, with a new creativity parameter controlling the likelihood of creating additional details not conditioned by the initial image.

Premium Performance

Stability AI’s Stable Image services offer the best-in-class performance for each niche. Each service is rigorously tested against popular equivalents available in the market to ensure it meets the highest standards.

Quality
Each service is compared to the nearest or best-known competitor offering the same service (e.g., text-to-image generation). Stability AI ensures their services are preferred by professionals for aesthetic value and effectiveness.

Alignment
The value of a service is measured by its ability to deliver quality and follow instructions. Stability AI prioritizes good prompt following with minimal prompt engineering.

Speed
All services are optimized to offer the highest speeds for their tasks, running on Stability AI’s inference hardware.
