# Fooocus
Fooocus is an image generating software (based on [Gradio](https://www.gradio.app/)).

* Learned from Stable Diffusion, the software is offline, open source, and free.
* Learned from Midjourney, the manual tweaking is not needed, and users only need to focus on the prompts and images.
Fooocus has included and automated [lots of inner optimizations and quality improvements](#tech_list). Users can forget all those difficult technical parameters, and just enjoy the interaction between human and computer to "explore new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species" `[1]`.
Fooocus has simplified the installation. Between pressing "download" and generating the first image, the number of needed mouse clicks is strictly limited to less than 3. Minimal GPU memory requirement is 4GB (Nvidia).

Fooocus presents a rethinking of image generator designs. The software is offline, open source, and free, while at the same time, similar to many online image generators like Midjourney, the manual tweaking is not needed, and users only need to focus on the prompts and images. Fooocus has also simplified the installation: between pressing "download" and generating the first image, the number of needed mouse clicks is strictly limited to less than 3. Minimal GPU memory requirement is 4GB (Nvidia).

# Project Status: Limited Long-Term Support (LTS) with Bug Fixes Only
# Moving from Midjourney to Fooocus
The Fooocus project, built entirely on the **Stable Diffusion XL** architecture, is now in a state of limited long-term support (LTS) with bug fixes only. As the existing functionalities are considered as nearly free of programmartic issues (Thanks to [mashb1t](https://github.com/mashb1t)'s huge efforts), future updates will focus exclusively on addressing any bugs that may arise.
Using Fooocus is as easy as (probably easier than) Midjourney – but this does not mean we lack functionality. Below are the details.
**There are no current plans to migrate to or incorporate newer model architectures.** However, this may change during time with the development of open-source community. For example, if the community converge to one single dominant method for image generation (which may really happen in half or one years given the current status), Fooocus may also migrate to that exact method.
For those interested in utilizing newer models such as **Flux**, we recommend exploring alternative platforms such as [WebUI Forge](https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge) (also from us), [ComfyUI/SwarmUI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI). Additionally, several [excellent forks of Fooocus](https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus?tab=readme-ov-file#forks) are available for experimentation.
Again, recently many fake websites exist on Google when you search “fooocus”. Do **NOT** get Fooocus from those websites – this page is the only official source of Fooocus. We never have any website like such as “fooocus.com”, “fooocus.net”, “fooocus.co”, “fooocus.ai”, “fooocus.org”, “fooocus.pro”, “fooocus.one”. Those websites are ALL FAKE. **They have ABSOLUTLY no relationship to us. Fooocus is a 100% non-commercial offline open-source software.**

The below things are already inside the software, and **users do not need to do anything about these**.

1. GPT2-based [prompt expansion as a dynamic style "Fooocus V2".](https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus/discussions/117#raw) (similar to Midjourney's hidden pre-processing and "raw" mode, or the LeonardoAI's Prompt Magic).
2. Native refiner swap inside one single k-sampler. The advantage is that the refiner model can now reuse the base model's momentum (or ODE's history parameters) collected from k-sampling to achieve more coherent sampling. In Automatic1111's high-res fix and ComfyUI's node system, the base model and refiner use two independent k-samplers, which means the momentum is largely wasted, and the sampling continuity is broken. Fooocus uses its own advanced k-diffusion sampling that ensures seamless, native, and continuous swap in a refiner setup. (Update Aug 13: Actually, I discussed this with Automatic1111 several days ago, and it seems that the “native refiner swap inside one single k-sampler” is [merged]( https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12371) into the dev branch of webui. Great!)
