Stable Diffusion

advanced

Open-source image AI — maximum control, zero per-image cost.

Stable Diffusion is the leading open-source image generation model, offering unlimited, free image generation when self-hosted. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, Stable Diffusion gives businesses complete control over the model, data, and outputs — including the ability to fine-tune on proprietary datasets for brand-specific or industry-specific image generation. It powers thousands of applications, from product photography and fashion design to medical imaging and game development. PxlPeak deploys self-hosted Stable Diffusion instances, fine-tunes models on client data, and builds production-grade image generation pipelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why self-host instead of using Midjourney or DALL-E?

Self-hosting eliminates per-image costs (critical at high volumes), gives you full data privacy (images never leave your infrastructure), and allows fine-tuning on your brand assets. PxlPeak recommends self-hosting for businesses generating 10,000+ images/month or those with strict data requirements.

What hardware do we need to self-host?

A single NVIDIA GPU with 8GB+ VRAM handles standard generation. Production deployments use cloud GPUs (AWS, GCP, or RunPod). PxlPeak sizes and provisions the infrastructure based on your volume and latency requirements.

Can we fine-tune on our own product images?

Yes. Using LoRA or DreamBooth techniques, PxlPeak fine-tunes Stable Diffusion on your product catalog, brand assets, or custom style — producing images that match your visual identity with high fidelity.

How long does a self-hosted deployment take?

PxlPeak deploys a production Stable Diffusion instance in 2-4 weeks, including infrastructure provisioning, model selection, fine-tuning, API development, and integration with your content management system.
