Open-source local studio for Flux, SDXL and SD 1.5 image generation with canvas layers and node workflows
InvokeAI is a free, Apache-2.0 image generation studio you install on your own machine, wrapping models like Flux, SDXL and SD 1.5 in a layer-based canvas with inpainting, regional control and node-based workflows. Everything runs locally for privacy, with Docker installs and rented-GPU options for people without suitable hardware. The founding team's commercial hosted edition wound down after they joined Adobe in 2025, and the project is now community-maintained. It suits artists and studios who want repeatable, editable pipelines rather than one-shot prompting.
Free and open source under Apache 2.0 with no paid product remaining; real costs are your own GPU or a rented one via hosts like RunPod or Railway. The former commercial cloud edition is no longer offered following the team's 2025 move to Adobe.
Use tool ↗The most artist-friendly of the open local generation UIs, pairing a real layered canvas with node workflows and full privacy on your own hardware. The catch is that it is now a community-run project — the founding company effectively exited to Adobe — so support and release pace depend on volunteers.
Watch out: The commercial hosted edition was discontinued after the founding team joined Adobe; the GitHub Pages URL now redirects to invoke.ai, which serves the community project.
