What does Stable Diffusion do?
Stable Diffusion powers Brand Studio's creative pipeline by routing requests to the right model, then letting teams generate and edit assets in one place. Curated Model Routing picks from leading providers, while end-to-end generation and editing covers sketch-to-image, inpainting, recoloring, and precision tools like product insertion. Brand Central adds brand-specific rules so outputs stay aligned with identity instead of drifting from one prompt to the next. At scale, Stability AI says Stable Diffusion models have been downloaded more than 350 million times and can produce 1,000+ images per minute. The platform is built for professional media generation across image, video, 3D, and audio, with self-hosted deployment available for teams that need more control. Customer stories include HubSpot, Mercado Libre, and Stride, showing use in on-brand image generation, ad creative, and a K, 12 reading app built in 6 months.

What are Stable Diffusion's use cases?
Brand teams keep outputs consistent
Creative operations teams use Stable Diffusion to keep campaign visuals aligned across many requests, using Brand Central to turn brand identity into built-in guidelines. They rely on Producer Mode to plan multi-step production and Stay in control to review outputs before assets go live.
Marketing teams ship faster assets
Marketing teams use Stable Diffusion to generate on-brand creative faster without losing oversight, using Shared Workspaces to coordinate feedback and Collaboration Features to keep reviews moving. With Precision, they can refine image details and produce publish-ready variations for different campaigns.
Product teams edit images precisely
Product and design teams use Stable Diffusion to make targeted image edits, insertions, and recolors for mockups and launch materials. They use Precision for exact inpainting and Product Insertion, then Stay in control to keep the final result aligned with the brief.
Enterprise teams self-host securely
Enterprise platform teams use Stable Diffusion to deploy creative workflows with Self-Hosted and SSO & Access Controls, keeping sensitive work inside their own environment. They pair that with Shared Workspaces so approved teams can collaborate without losing governance.
How does Stable Diffusion work?
- Find the right fit for your creative team by choosing the deployment path that matches your workflow, from Cloud Service to Self-Hosted, and confirm the controls you need with SSO & Access Controls.

- Build your first workflow in Producer Mode, combining generation and editing steps for campaign assets, mockups, or variations while keeping approvals and handoffs organized.
- Refine outputs with Precision tools such as inpainting and product insertion, then use Stay in control to review results before publishing or handing them off.
