Civitai

What Civitai is

Civitai is a community platform built around the Stable Diffusion ecosystem. Creators browse, download and share checkpoints, LoRAs and embeddings, with sample images and prompts attached so effects can be reproduced.

Model publishing includes versioning and feedback, making it the de facto library for the open image model ecosystem.

What you can do with it

• Find models by style, role or purpose
• Download with sample prompts for reproduction
• Publish your own models and collect feedback
• Build a personal model combination

Who it is for

• Stable Diffusion creators
• Model trainers sharing their work
• Style experimenters exploring long-tail aesthetics

What to watch out for

• Community models vary widely in quality and safety; vet before use
• Some hosted models imitate real people or protected styles; commercial use of those carries risk
• Platform content policy and model licenses govern use
• Local generation setup is needed to run most downloads
