A quick SDXL Resolution cheat sheet
Once you go beyond the default resolution for the SDXL version of Stable Diffusion you will need to pay attention to the proper resolutions the model was trained for. Going outside of the specs can make for some fun AI art though.
Here is a quick reference chart to help you along your generating journey:
| RESOLUTION | ASPECT RATIO |
|---|---|
| 1024 x 1024 | The Standard SDXL resolution |
| 1152 x 896 | Close to 4:3 (Standard Monitor) |
| 896 x 1152 | Close to 3:4 |
| 1216 x 832 | Close to 3:2 (Classic Film) |
| 832 x 1216 | Close to 2:3 |
| 1344 x 768 | Close to 16:9 (HD Video) |
| 768 x 1344 | Close to 9:16 |
| 1536 x 640 | Close to 16:9 (CinemaScope) |
| 640 x 1536 | Close to 9:16 |
I generated an image for each resolution to give a sense of what you'd be getting. You will notice that most of the resolutions are just flipped from horizontal to vertical, so I added them together in a gallery.
The prompt is for a black Porsche 911:
Best quality, Raw photo, sci-fi, futuristic, Black Porsche 911
The Resolution Images:
1024 x 1024
1152 x 896 and 896 x 1152
