It supports both txt2img and img2img. (Not affiliated.)
Edit: Incidentally, I tried running it on a CPU. It is possible, but it took 3 minutes instead of 10 seconds to produce an image. It also required me to hack up the script in a really gross way. Perhaps there is a script somewhere that properly supports this.
I do runs at 384px by 384px, with batch size of 1. Sampling method has almost no impact on memory. Using k_euler with 30 steps renders an image in 10 to 20 seconds. The biggest thing that affect rending speed is the steps and the resolution, so 512x512 with C 50 using ddim is much slower than 256x256 with C 25 using k_euler.
The sampling methods run mostly in the same timelines, but the k_euler one can produce viable output at lower C values, meaning it is faster than the rest.
Don't add gfpgan in the same pipeline, as it takes more vram.
I'm running it on Windows 10 with latest drivers. I set the python process to Realtime priority in task manager (makes a slight difference!). Have not tried it on Linux.
I'm thinking about getting a 3090 so that I can make higher resolution images.
Gfpgan runs much faster for me 5 seconds per picture
edit: on second thought, they most likely rendered at 512px but then ran it through an upscaler model. I've been meaning to hook mine up but kinda forgot to try.
It's often easier to actually get models to run on CPU, due to simpler install configs and more available memory. Just painful to get a result out of it. Which might help keep the install simple, because it's not even worth optimizing
Not really.

I’m not even sure it works well - if at all - with 4Gb.
In any case, it’s impressive even if it takes minutes. And it’s not like you need to be there to make it work. You can create a list of prompts, let it do its thing and check the results later.
I’ve not tried that size but I tried 256x256 and it was too small to get interesting results - maybe there are some parameters that can be adjusted to improve it though.
I'm planning to try it out this weekend. But not really hopeful. I only have 8GB ram, and mine is a cheap Intel CPU that doesn't even have AVX.
GP talks about generating a single image while you talk about generating 4.
This is for the initial "exploration" step of the process. Once I like an image I typically play with the settings, then in the final step run with a large number of steps (and maybe even use upscaling).
So, default 512x512 size, 16 steps and default for the rest of the settings (I believe 7.5 scale, 0.75 strength).
Having said that, I also tried the official Docker image for stable diffusion and with the default values it generated an image in about 40 seconds.
