 Click Here to Install Fooocus ).

Fooocus presents a rethinking of image generator designs. The software is offline, open source, and free, while at the same time, similar to many online image generators like Midjourney, the manual tweaking is not needed, and users only need to focus on the prompts and images. Fooocus has also simplified the installation: between pressing "download" and generating the first image, the number of needed mouse clicks is strictly limited to less than 3. Minimal GPU memory requirement is 4GB (Nvidia).

Recently many fake websites exist on Google when you search “fooocus”. Do not trust those – here is the only official source of Fooocus.

 Project Status: Limited Long-Term Support (LTS) with Bug Fixes Only

The Fooocus project, built entirely on the Stable Diffusion XL architecture, is now in a state of limited long-term support (LTS) with bug fixes only. As the existing functionalities are considered as nearly free of programmartic issues (Thanks to mashb1t's huge efforts), future updates will focus exclusively on addressing any bugs that may arise. 

There are no current plans to migrate to or incorporate newer model architectures. However, this may change during time with the development of open-source community. For example, if the community converge to one single dominant method for image generation (which may really happen in half or one years given the current status), Fooocus may also migrate to that exact method.

For those interested in utilizing newer models such as Flux, we recommend exploring alternative platforms such as WebUI Forge (also from us), ComfyUI/SwarmUI. Additionally, several excellent forks of Fooocus are available for experimentation.

Again, recently many fake websites exist on Google when you search “fooocus”. Do NOT get Fooocus from those websites – this page is the only official source of Fooocus. We never have any website like such as “fooocus.com”, “fooocus.net”, “fooocus.co”, “fooocus.ai”, “fooocus.org”, “fooocus.pro”, “fooocus.one”. Those websites are ALL FAKE. They have ABSOLUTLY no relationship to us. Fooocus is a 100% non-commercial offline open-source software.

 Features

Below is a quick list using Midjourney's examples:

| Midjourney | Fooocus |
| - | - |
| High-quality text-to-image without needing much prompt engineering or parameter tuning.  (Unknown method) | High-quality text-to-image without needing much prompt engineering or parameter tuning.  (Fooocus has an offline GPT-2 based prompt processing engine and lots of sampling improvements so that results are always beautiful, no matter if your prompt is as short as “house in garden” or as long as 1000 words) |
| V1 V2 V3 V4 | Input Image - Upscale or Variation - Vary (Subtle) / Vary (Strong)|
| U1 U2 U3 U4 | Input Image - Upscale or Variation - Upscale (1.5x) / Upscale (2x) |
| Inpaint / Up / Down / Left / Right (Pan) | Input Image - Inpaint or Outpaint - Inpaint / Up / Down / Left / Right  (Fooocus uses its own
