Recommended Samplers Compared
The choice of sampler greatly influences image quality, speed, and style. Here is a comparative overview of the most important samplers.
| Sampler | Speed | Detail Level | Optimal Steps | Recommended for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Euler a | Fast | Medium | 20-25 |
| Good all-rounder, often default |
| DPM++ 2M Karras | Medium | High | 25-30 |
| Excellent balance of quality and speed |
| DDIM | Fast | Medium | 30-50 |
| Stable, good for iterating on existing images |
| LMS | Medium | Medium-High | 30-40 |
| Interesting creative results |
Tip for Sampler Choice:
Start your experiments with Euler a for quick tests and switch to DPM++ 2M Karras for final image generation. Adjust the steps accordingly: more steps for complex images, fewer for simpler subjects.

Weighting Formula:
- Parentheses increase influence:
(word)= 1.1×,((word))= 1.21× - Square brackets decrease:
[word]= 0.9×,[[word]]= 0.81× - Exact values with colon:
word:1.2= 1.2×
