MagicQuill is an intelligent, interactive image editing system designed for precise local edits, offering AI-powered suggestions and a user-friendly interface. It targets researchers and users seeking advanced image manipulation capabilities, enabling detailed control over edits through intuitive brush tools.

How It Works

MagicQuill leverages a combination of diffusion models and interactive brush strokes for image editing. Users can "add" elements, "subtract" unwanted parts, or precisely "color" regions. The system incorporates a "Draw and Guess" feature that predicts user intent from brush strokes, automatically filling prompts. This approach allows for fine-grained control over image generation and modification, moving beyond simple global adjustments.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: Clone the repository with git clone --recursive https://github.com/magic-quill/MagicQuill.git, then follow setup scripts (windows_setup.bat or linux_setup.sh) or manual installation steps.
• Prerequisites: Python 3.10, PyTorch 2.1.2 with CUDA 11.8 support, and approximately 25 GB for checkpoints. A GPU with at least 8GB VRAM is required.
• Resources: Checkpoints download can be time-consuming.
• Links: Demo Page, ComfyUI Node, Modelscope.
