# Stable Diffusion 2

Stable Diffusion 2 is a text-to-image _latent diffusion_ model built upon the work of the original [Stable Diffusion](https://stability.ai/blog/stable-diffusion-public-release), and it was led by Robin Rombach and Katherine Crowson from [Stability AI](https://stability.ai/) and [LAION](https://laion.ai/).

*The Stable Diffusion 2.0 release includes robust text-to-image models trained using a brand new text encoder (OpenCLIP), developed by LAION with support from Stability AI, which greatly improves the quality of the generated images compared to earlier V1 releases. The text-to-image models in this release can generate images with default resolutions of both 512x512 pixels and 768x768 pixels.
These models are trained on an aesthetic subset of the [LAION-5B dataset](https://laion.ai/blog/laion-5b/) created by the DeepFloyd team at Stability AI, which is then further filtered to remove adult content using [LAION’s NSFW filter](https://openreview.net/forum?id=M3Y74vmsMcY).*

For more details about how Stable Diffusion 2 works and how it differs from the original Stable Diffusion, please refer to the official [announcement post](https://stability.ai/blog/stable-diffusion-v2-release).

The architecture of Stable Diffusion 2 is more or less identical to the original [Stable Diffusion model](./text2img) so check out it's API documentation for how to use Stable Diffusion 2. We recommend using the [DPMSolverMultistepScheduler](/docs/diffusers/v0.38.0/en/api/schedulers/multistep_dpm_solver#diffusers.DPMSolverMultistepScheduler) as it gives a reasonable speed/quality trade-off and can be run with as little as 20 steps.

Stable Diffusion 2 is available for tasks like text-to-image, inpainting, super-resolution, and depth-to-image:

## Text-to-image

```py
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline, DPMSolverMultistepScheduler
import torch

repo_id = "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-base"
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(repo_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16")

pipe.scheduler = DPMSolverMultistepScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = "High quality photo of an astronaut riding a horse in space"
image = pipe(prompt, num_inference_steps=25).images[0]
image
```

## Inpainting

```py
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline, DPMSolverMultistepScheduler
from diffusers.utils import load_image, make_image_grid

img_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion/main/data/inpainting_examples/overture-creations-5sI6fQgYIuo.png"
mask_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion/main/data/inpainting_examples/overture-creations-5sI6fQgYIuo_mask.png"

init_image = load_image(img_url).resize((512, 512))
mask_image = load_image(mask_url).resize((512, 512))

repo_id = "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-inpainting"
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(repo_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16")

pipe.scheduler = DPMSolverMultistepScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = "Face of a yellow cat, high resolution, sitting on a park bench"
image = pipe(prompt=prompt, image=init_image, mask_image=mask_image, num_inference_steps=25).images[0]
make_image_grid([init_image, mask_image, image], rows=1, cols=3)
```

## Super-resolution

```py
from diffusers import StableDiffusionUpscalePipeline
from diffusers.utils import load_image, make_image_grid
import torch

# load model and scheduler
model_id = "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-x4-upscaler"
pipeline = StableDiffusionUpscalePipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipeline = pipeline.to("cuda")

# let's download an  image
url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/sd2-upscale/low_res_cat.png"
low_res_img = load_image(url)
low_res_img = low_res_img.resize((128, 128))
prompt = "a white cat"
upscaled_image = pipeline(prompt=prompt, image=low_res_img).images[0]
make_image_grid([low_res_img.resize((512, 512)), upscaled_image.resize((512, 512))], rows=1, cols=2)

).to("cuda")

url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
init_image = load_image(url)
