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
