Diffusers is a native macOS app by Hugging Face that generates images from text prompts directly on your Mac.
Local generation, no cloud required
Diffusers runs image generation locally using Core ML. Models are pulled from Hugging Face Hub as needed, then cached on your Mac for reuse.
- Generates images from English text prompts
- Downloads diffusion models on demand and caches them locally
- Runs locally via Core ML, without credits or subscriptions
- Doesn’t require a constant internet connection after models are cached
Built for macOS and Apple silicon
The app is optimized for macOS and Apple chips for stable performance and fast iteration. It also serves as a lightweight graphical interface for the open-source Diffusers library.
For creative work and experimentation
Diffusers can help artists, designers, and developers quickly visualize ideas.
- Concept art and early-stage visual exploration
