// how it works
How it works
- Choose the right tool
Generation studio, upscaler, background remover, or photo library — match the tool to the task.
- Install it your way
Desktop apps, Docker images, and portable builds cover most platforms; pick the simplest for your OS.
- Add models if needed
Generation tools need checkpoint files; utilities like upscalers usually bundle everything.
- Create or organize
Generate, enhance, or import — then export, share, or keep building your library.
