RealVisXL

A community fine-tune of Stable Diffusion XL by SG161222, RealVisXL specializes in photorealistic text-to-image generation, with particular attention to convincing skin, faces, and lighting. The model is distributed as safetensors on Hugging Face and Civitai in standard and turbo variants, and V4.0 documentation recommends 25 or more sampling steps with the DPM++ 2M Karras sampler plus a negative prompt targeting facial asymmetry artifacts. The author notes training is ongoing, so some outputs can still show artifacts, and outputs are not filtered for safe-for-work use, which deployments need to account for. It runs anywhere SDXL runs, including Diffusers, AUTOMATIC1111-style web UIs, and apps like Draw Things and DiffusionBee, and has spawned dozens of adapters and derivative fine-tunes. Released under a CreativeML Open RAIL++ license, it is a popular checkpoint among Stable Diffusion hobbyists and professionals producing realistic imagery.
