System Requirements

Hardware Requirements

GPU (REQUIRED)

• NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support (CUDA 12.1+)
• Minimum: 6GB VRAM (SD 1.5, SD 2.1 only)
• Recommended: 12GB VRAM (SDXL, SD 3.5 Turbo)
• High-end: 16GB+ VRAM (SD 3.5 Large, Qwen-Image)

GPU Compatibility Table

VRAM Usage by Processor

Note: Only ONE diffusion model is loaded in VRAM at a time. Switching processors auto-unloads the previous model.

System RAM

• Minimum: 16GB
• Recommended: 32GB

Storage

• Application install: ~500MB
• AI models: 4-20GB each (downloaded on first use)
• Render output: varies by resolution and project
• Recommended: 50GB+ free SSD space

CPU

• Modern multi-core (Intel i5 / AMD Ryzen 5 or better)
• CPU is not the bottleneck — GPU handles all AI processing

Software Requirements

Operating System

• Windows 10 (21H2+) or Windows 11
• Linux support planned (post-launch)
• macOS is NOT supported (requires NVIDIA CUDA GPU)

NVIDIA Driver

• Minimum: 525.x+ (CUDA 12.0 compatible)
• Recommended: Latest Game Ready or Studio driver
• Check your driver: run nvidia-smi in Command Prompt

WebView2 Runtime

• Pre-installed on Windows 10/11
• If missing: download from Microsoft

Not Supported

• AMD GPUs (no CUDA support)
• Intel Arc GPUs
• Apple Silicon Macs
• Integrated graphics (Intel HD, AMD Vega)
• Cloud GPU instances (app requires local display)

Checking Your System

• In-app: Settings → GPU Information panel shows your GPU model, VRAM, and driver version
• Command line: nvidia-smi shows GPU model, VRAM, driver version
• GPU-Z (free tool) for detailed GPU specs
