Fooocus - Photorealistic Images with Perfect Bilingual Text

Can Fooocus render small text accurately in both Chinese and English?

Yes. Fooocus is specifically built to handle bilingual text rendering in both Chinese and English, including at small font sizes in challenging scenarios like posters and magazine covers. This is one of its core strengths compared to most image generators, which struggle with legible text.

What GPU do I need to run Fooocus?

Fooocus runs on consumer GPUs with 16GB VRAM and achieves sub-second latency using its Scalable Single-Stream DiT architecture. The 8-step generation process is designed to be fast even on modest hardware, though the specific minimum specs for different GPU brands are not published on their site.

Does Fooocus include image editing features, or is it text-to-image only?

Fooocus includes native editing capabilities beyond text-to-image generation. You can edit images with natural language instructions, remove backgrounds, restore photos, swap faces, and upscale images without leaving the tool. It also supports image-to-video and video-to-video processing.

Is Fooocus free to use?

Yes, Fooocus is free. There is no paid tier mentioned, so you can download and run it locally on your own hardware at no cost.
