  • Reuses the model folders you already have

Cons

  • Manual install with git and Python, and no installer

Rankings and alternatives

Apps for generating images locally scores

Evaluated Nov 7, 2026 Evidence ↓
  • Image model families 4

    4/5 means: Ten to fourteen families

    The wiki's model table and the README cover 12 image families (SD1, SDXL, Lumina 2, Flux.1, Flux.2 Klein, Z-Image, Ernie-Image, Moss-Image, Qwen-Image, Anima, Krea 2 and Chroma); SD2 and SD3 were removed.

  • Graphics cards supported 2

    2/5 means: NVIDIA plus one other family

    NVIDIA is the main target; AMD setups follow a linked third-party guide or the Docker files, and the README says AMD issues will be ignored. The macOS steps install regular PyTorch and don't say whether the Apple GPU is used.

  • Setup effort 2

    2/5 means: You install prerequisites such as git or Python and copy the code, then a launch script installs the rest

    You install git and Python (through uv), clone the repository, then webui-user.bat installs the requirements on first launch. No installer is documented.

  • Editing tools 2

    2/5 means: Two of the five

    Inpainting (including Soft Inpainting) and upscalers are documented. Outpainting, a layered canvas and general regional prompting aren't described for Neo; Region ControlNet is listed for the Anima model only.

  • Custom workflows 2

    2/5 means: Saved presets of settings, with no pipeline builder

    Presets save the checkpoint, modules and parameters; there is no node editor for building pipelines.

  • Add-ons 5

    5/5 means: As 4, plus updating installed add-ons from inside the app

    Forge Neo keeps the base features of AUTOMATIC1111's web UI, whose Extensions tab lists available extensions to install, and Neo checks installed extensions for updates. The README says issues about third-party extensions are ignored.

  • Getting models 1

    1/5 means: You download model files yourself and put them in the right folders

    The wiki's Download Models page lists where to download each model and which folder to put it in; no download feature in the app is documented.

  • What leaves your computer 4

    4/5 means: Generates locally, and the documentation describes no online features

    Generation runs locally, and the README describes no online features or usage data; it also has no page on what goes online.

    Rests partly on what the sources don't mention, which is a weaker signal than what they say.

  • Video and audio 2

    2/5 means: Video from one model family

    Video generation with Wan 2.2 (the 14B models); no audio or 3D generation.

  • Several users 2

    2/5 means: One password or login protects the whole app

    The web UI it builds on can require one or more username and password pairs (--gradio-auth) for the whole app; there are no separate galleries or roles.
