Stability AI logoSDXL Turbo

A variant of Stable Diffusion XL that generates images in as few as one inference step, enabling near real-time image creation. Learn more

Deploy SDXL Turbo behind an API endpoint in seconds.

Deploy model

Example usage

The model accepts a two main inputs:

  1. prompt: This is text describing the image you want to generate. The output images tend to get better as you add more descriptive words to the prompt.

  2. num_steps: Represents the number of iterations the model must cycle through before creating the final image. This value should be between 1-4.

The output JSON object contains a key called data which represents the generated image as a base64 string.

The output JSON object contains a key called result which represents the generated image as a base64 string.
