Two ways to generate

Switch between local and cloud at any time — same interface, same gallery.

Local — your GPU

Private, unlimited, free to run

$0 / image

One-click engine install, then generate with SDXL and Z-Image directly on your machine. Images never leave your computer.

  • NVIDIA GPU (CUDA) on Windows · Apple Silicon on macOS
  • Isolated environment — nothing touches your system Python
  • Models downloaded on demand (~6–7 GB each)

Cloud — imference.com

No GPU required, full model catalog

from $0.05 / image

Generate on imference.com servers straight from the app. Pay with API credits or x402 (USDC on Base — no account needed).

  • Works on any machine — laptops, no GPU, low VRAM
  • Full hosted catalog: realism, anime, video models
  • Same prompts, params and gallery as local mode

Built for actually making images

Not a wrapper around a text box — real controls, real history.

Per-model parameters

Format, steps, CFG, seed, quality tags, negative prompt — with sensible defaults pulled from the model catalog.

Image-to-image

Start from an existing image and steer it with a prompt — locally or in the cloud.

Metadata-rich gallery

Every generation is saved with its prompt, model and params. Filter, search, and reopen in a fullscreen viewer.

Heads-up on first launch

The app isn't code-signed yet, so your OS will show a warning the first time you run it. That's expected — signing and in-app auto-update are on the way.

  • Windows: SmartScreen → More infoRun anyway.
  • macOS: right-click the app → Open (or xattr -cr "/Applications/Imference Desktop.app").

Every release ships a checksums.txt so you can verify your download.
