Invoke is a self-hosted, open-source creative engine for AI image generation with Stable Diffusion models (SD 1.5, SDXL, Flux), featuring a professional web UI with a layer-based Unified Canvas and node-based workflow editor. It runs locally on your own GPU hardware and is Apache 2.0 licensed, serving as the foundation for several commercial products.

Use cases

  • generate images from text prompts with stable diffusion locally
  • inpaint and outpaint images with an AI canvas editor
  • build reproducible node-based image generation workflows
  • manage stable diffusion checkpoints, LoRAs, and ControlNet models
  • run AI image generation privately on my own GPU
  • refine sketches and photos with img2img
  • self-host an alternative to cloud AI art services

When to choose

  • you want a polished, production-grade local UI for Stable Diffusion/Flux image generation
  • you need layer-based canvas editing with inpainting/outpainting for professional art workflows
  • you want to build and share complex node-based generation pipelines
  • privacy matters and you need everything running locally on your hardware
  • you need a commercially-friendly (Apache 2.0) license

When to avoid

  • you only need a lightweight CLI or scripting interface for batch generation
  • you have no compatible GPU hardware
  • you want video, audio, or text generation rather than images
  • you prefer a fully managed cloud service with no local setup
