The Creative Engine

Invoke provides the most feature-complete and professional toolkit for AI image generation, built with production workflows in mind.

<CardGrid> <Card title="Unified Canvas" icon="pencil"> Experience true **Layer-based Canvas Editing**.

Each layer can be independently manipulated—giving you the freedom to compose intricate scenes seamlessly without breaking a sweat. </Card> <Card title="Node-based Workflows" icon="setting"> Unlock limitless possibilities with **Advanced Node-based Workflows**. Build your own complex, reproducible pipelines via a completely visual graph backend. Expose custom UI parameters to share and update values easily without diving deep into the graph. </Card> <Card title="Leading Model Support" icon="rocket"> Stay on the cutting edge with out-of-the-box support for the latest foundational models, including **Flux, SDXL, SD 1.5**, and more. Manage checkpoints, LoRAs, Textual Inversions, and ControlNets with an intuitive Model Manager. </Card> <Card title="100% Local & Private" icon="laptop"> **Completely Local & Self-hosted**. Invoke runs locally on your own hardware. Your data, prompts, and creations belong entirely to you. Say goodbye to restrictive cloud services and privacy concerns—maintain absolute control over your art. </Card> </CardGrid>

The open-source version offers the same powerful features you may have used in the hosted service, with the added benefit of complete control and privacy through self-hosting.

Stewardship of the project has been passed to Lincoln Stein (lstein) and Vic (Blessedcoolant), who have been core maintainers since the project's inception and continue to drive development forward with the community. :::
