Best for——
Pros—
  • Commercially friendly Apache-2.0 license for the application code
  • Unified Canvas with inpainting, outpainting, and brush tools for iterative editing
  • Node-based Workflows for building and sharing repeatable generation pipelines
  • Broad model support including Stable Diffusion, SDXL, SD 3.5, and Flux variants
  • Runs entirely locally with a built-in model manager, gallery, and rich image metadata
Cons—
  • Needs a reasonably powerful GPU with enough VRAM for good speed and larger models
  • Model weights carry their own licenses separate from the app, so check usage terms
  • The node/workflow system has a real learning curve for newcomers
  • Local install, updates, and model management take more setup than a hosted service
