FutureSelf vs Stable Diffusion

FutureSelf vs Stable Diffusion

Free and open, or finished in your browser.

Stable Diffusion or FutureSelf for a vision board?

Stable Diffusion is free and open source, but running it locally needs a capable GPU and setup, and keeping your face consistent usually means extra tools or training. FutureSelf runs in your browser: one selfie becomes 8 photoreal scenes of you, $4.90 once, first scene free.

Tinkering or a finished board

Stable Diffusion is the right tool if you want full control and enjoy the setup. If you want a vision board of yourself without installing anything, FutureSelf is the shorter path.

No GPU or install needed.
No training on your photos: one selfie is enough.
Works on a phone.

Why Stable Diffusion isn't enough

Technical overhead

Samplers, steps, models and extensions are a hobby in themselves.

Face consistency takes work

Keeping one person consistent usually means extra tools or training a small model on several photos.

Deep Dive #1

How FutureSelf does it

We do not run or train our own model. Your selfie and your description go to Google's Gemini image model, which draws each scene. That is why one photo is enough and nothing is installed.

One selfie. 8 photoreal scenes of you on one board.

Common Questions

Q.Is FutureSelf based on Stable Diffusion?

No. The scenes are drawn by Google's Gemini image model. We do not train or fine-tune a model, and your photos are never used for training.
