// how it works

How it works

  1. Install dgenerate

    Follow the docs for your platform.

  2. Write a script

    Describe generations in its scripting language.

  3. Run the batch

    The CLI renders images and animation frames.

  4. Script in GUI

    Or compose workflows in the visual scripting env.

// features

Why people love it

Scriptable CLI

Generation as repeatable scripts.

Animation sequences

Render frame sequences, not just stills.

Python library

Embed generation in your own code.

GUI scripting

Visual environment for workflows.

Stable Diffusion

SD and related techniques under the hood.

Cross-platform

Runs wherever Python runs.
