Finding an image generator your computer can run

Start with a desktop app when you want to type a prompt and make an image. Canvas editors offer more control over selected areas, composition and repeated edits. Model choice matters as much as the interface: a newer or larger model can need substantially more graphics memory than a smaller one.

Check the supported operating system, GPU and memory before downloading model files. Apple Silicon apps use your Mac's shared memory; other tools may require a compatible graphics card. Local generation keeps that generation step on your hardware, while optional cloud compute uses an external service.
