About

What it is: CyberRealistic XL is a text to image checkpoint built on Stable Diffusion XL 1.0. It aims for photorealistic, cinematic results from short prompts, and it is tuned for portraits, fashion and editorial scenes. The file is a safetensors checkpoint of about 6.31 GB with the VAE built in, so you do not add a separate one.

Who it suits: Artists, designers and hobbyists who want realistic photo style images without writing long prompts.

Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
Fashion and editorial | Designers and art directors | Draft look book and editorial style frames from text | Generating a close-up fashion shot with side lighting
Marketing | Content creators | Make realistic portrait style visuals for concepts | Testing a campaign mood before a real photo shoot
Hobby art | Image generation enthusiasts | Use it as a base checkpoint in a Stable Diffusion setup | Trying short prompts for candid portraits

Skip it if you want stylized or cartoon output, or if you cannot run an SDXL sized model.

Where to use it: It works with the diffusers library and with Stable Diffusion tools that load SDXL checkpoints. The files download on Windows, macOS or Linux.

• Python with the diffusers library
• Stable Diffusion tools that load SDXL safetensors files
• Windows, macOS or Linux: where you can fetch the files with Python

Use case | Who | What they get back
Portrait generation | Artists | Realistic faces with detailed skin and eyes
Editorial scenes | Designers | Cinematic lighting and shallow focus looks
Short prompt drafts | Beginners | Usable images without a long prompt

How to set it up: You need Python and about 6.31 GB of space for the checkpoint.

• Python with pip
• A tool or code that can load an SDXL checkpoint
• About 6.31 GB of disk space

1. Install the Hugging Face hub library.
2. Download the model files.
3. Load the checkpoint in your image tool.

pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download cyberdelia/CyberRealisticXL

How to use it: Write a short prompt, then use the settings the author recommends.

Setting | Recommended value
Sampling steps | 25 to 30
Sampler | DPM++ 3M SDE Karras or Euler A
Resolution | 1024x1024 natively, 1536x1536 with Hires.fix
CFG scale | 7.0 to 8.0

Example: You ask for a candid portrait of a young woman in natural light, with shallow depth of field and soft bokeh. At 1024x1024 with 25 to 30 steps, it returns a photo style image with detailed skin and lighting.

For newcomers and experts: If you are new to this, start with one short prompt at 1024x1024 and the recommended sampler. Raise the size with Hires.fix only after you like the composition.

If you know the field, this is an SDXL 1.0 fine tune with the VAE included, so you skip the external VAE step. The author lists v5.7 as the latest version and recommends the CFG range above. Other people have published 15 fine tunes and 2 quantized copies of it.

Good to know: The card shows prompts and a preview image but no benchmark numbers.
