StableDiffusionWebUI: Sampler

Preface

This chapter introduces the samplers in sdwebui.

Sampler

A sampler is the sampling method used during the SD image generation process.

Using the following prompt for txt2img, with a fixed checkpoint and fixed seed, we compare the results of different samplers.

Prompt - Chinese

一个男孩,坐在椅子上,上半身,靠近窗口,蓝色上衣,黑色头发,戴眼镜,面向镜头,左手边是窗子

Prompt - English

A boy sitting on a chair, upper body, close to the window, blue shirt, black hair, wearing glasses, facing the camera, with the window on his left side

Summary

  1. Different samplers produce noticeably different results.

  2. Checkpoint authors usually recommend a specific sampler. For example, Samaritan 3d Cartoon recommends Euler a, which works well.

  3. Generally speaking, the longer the sampler name, the more internal iterations it performs — similar to iPhone generations. Give them a try, for example DPM++ 2M SDE Heun.
