What is DreamStudio?

DreamStudio is Stability AI's hosted front end for its own Stable Diffusion image models. Unlike the many third-party sites built on the same weights, it comes from the people who trained them, so new model releases appear here first and the prompt controls mirror the underlying capabilities closely. The interface exposes negative prompts, aspect ratios, style presets, seed reuse and generation counts, and an API is available for developers. Payment works on credits bought in advance rather than a monthly subscription, which suits occasional heavy use, and a free allowance lets you evaluate quality before committing.

FAQ

How is DreamStudio different from a Stable Diffusion site?

It is the official Stability AI product built on the models the company trained, so new releases appear here first and the controls map directly onto the underlying model parameters.

How does billing work?

You buy credits and spend them per generation, with higher step counts, larger sizes and batch runs costing more. That suits people who generate intensively for a period and then stop.

Do I own the images I generate?

Stability's terms generally allow commercial use of outputs, but the specifics have changed between licences and plans. Read the current terms before using images in commercial work.
