Stable Diffusion
Generate stunning AI images locally. SDXL, Flux, ControlNet — optimised for Apple Silicon.
One-time setup
What is this?
Professional AI image generation, entirely on your Mac.
Stable Diffusion is the industry-leading open-source AI image generation model. It transforms text prompts into photorealistic images, illustrations, concept art, and design mockups — all running locally on your Mac's Apple Silicon chip with zero cloud dependency.
With HKMAC AI's Stable Diffusion setup, we install and optimise the latest SDXL and Flux models for your specific hardware. Whether you have an M1 with 16GB or an M4 Pro with 48GB, we configure the optimal inference settings, VAE decoder, and sampling parameters to give you the fastest generation times possible.
Unlike cloud-based image generation services that charge per image and retain rights to your creations, local Stable Diffusion gives you full ownership of every image generated. Your prompts and outputs never leave your machine — critical for commercial projects, client work, and proprietary designs.
The setup includes a user-friendly web interface (Automatic1111 or ComfyUI), pre-downloaded models, ControlNet for guided generation, and LoRA support for fine-tuned styles. Think of it as having a professional AI art studio right on your desk.
