Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Invoke to generate, edit, and composite images on your own computer. It provides a layer-based canvas where you can paint, sketch, and blend visual elements with full precision. You can build visual graph pipelines using a node-based editor, train custom styles using LoRAs or Textual Inversions, and guide generations using ControlNet depth maps or poses. Because it runs locally across Windows, macOS, and Linux, your prompts and generated artwork remain private without relying on third-party cloud subscriptions.
