Stable Diffusion Prompt Builder

Stable Diffusion is a powerful AI image generation model that can create amazingly realistic and creative images from text prompts. However, writing effective prompts requires some skill and practice. This article will provide examples of high-quality Stable Diffusion prompts and tips for crafting your own prompts.

The key to getting great results from Stable Diffusion is writing detailed and descriptive prompts. The AI relies completely on the text prompt to understand what type of image you want it to generate. More details in the prompt lead to better results.

Elements of a Good Stable Diffusion Prompt

A good Stable Diffusion prompt should include the following elements:

Subject and Content

  • Describe the main subject matter of the image. For example: “a portrait of a girl”, “a fantasy landscape”, “a still life painting”.

Style/Medium/Composition

  • Specify the artistic style: “in Andy Warhol’s pop art style”, “in the style of an oil painting”, “with a cinematic widescreen aspect ratio”.

Details

  • Add relevant descriptive details about the subject: “wearing a blue dress and holding a red rose”, “at sunset with rays of light streaming over mountains”. More details = better results.

Artist (optional)

  • You can specify a particular artist’s style: “in the style of Van Gogh”, “imitating the brushwork of Monet”.
