🤗 Diffusers is the go-to library for state-of-the-art pretrained diffusion models for generating images, audio, and even 3D structures of molecules. Whether you're looking for a simple inference solution or training your own diffusion models, 🤗 Diffusers is a modular toolbox that supports both. Our library is designed with a focus on usability over performance, simple over easy, and customizability over abstractions.
🤗 Diffusers offers three core components:
- State-of-the-art diffusion pipelines that can be run in inference with just a few lines of code.
- Interchangeable noise schedulers for different diffusion speeds and output quality.
- Pretrained models that can be used as building blocks, and combined with schedulers, for creating your own end-to-end diffusion systems.
We recommend installing 🤗 Diffusers in a virtual environment from PyPi or Conda. For more details about installing PyTorch and Flax, please refer to their official documentation.
With pip (official package):
pip install --upgrade diffusers[torch]With conda (maintained by the community):
conda install -c conda-forge diffusersWith pip (official package):
pip install --upgrade diffusers[flax]Please refer to the How to use Stable Diffusion in Apple Silicon guide.
Generating outputs is super easy with 🤗 Diffusers. To generate an image from text, use the from_pretrained method to load any pretrained diffusion model (browse the Hub for 4000+ checkpoints):
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
pipeline = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5")
pipeline.to("cuda")
pipeline("An image of a squirrel in Picasso style").images[0]You can also dig into the models and schedulers toolbox to build your own diffusion system:
from diffusers import DDPMScheduler, UNet2DModel
from PIL import Image
import torch
import numpy as np
scheduler = DDPMScheduler.from_pretrained("google/ddpm-cat-256")
model = UNet2DModel.from_pretrained("google/ddpm-cat-256").to("cuda")
scheduler.set_timesteps(50)
sample_size = model.config.sample_size
noise = torch.randn((1, 3, sample_size, sample_size)).to("cuda")
input = noise
for t in scheduler.timesteps:
with torch.no_grad():
noisy_residual = model(input, t).sample
previous_noisy_sample = scheduler.step(noisy_residual, t, input).prev_sample
input = previous_noisy_sample
image = (input / 2 + 0.5).clamp(0, 1)
image = image.cpu().permute(0, 2, 3, 1).numpy()[0]
image = Image.fromarray((image * 255)).round().astype("uint8")

This library concretizes previous work by many different authors and would not have been possible without their great research and implementations. We'd like to thank, in particular, the following implementations which have helped us in our development and without which the API could not have been as polished today:
- @CompVis' latent diffusion models library, available here
- @hojonathanho original DDPM implementation, available here as well as the extremely useful translation into PyTorch by @pesser, available here
- @ermongroup's DDIM implementation, available here
- @yang-song's Score-VE and Score-VP implementations, available here
We also want to thank @heejkoo for the very helpful overview of papers, code and resources on diffusion models, available here as well as @crowsonkb and @rromb for useful discussions and insights.
