Local AI, Windows, Open download

ImageForge

A local AI image generator for Windows.

Everything runs on your own machine — no account, no subscription, nothing sent anywhere. Thirteen models, from three-second drafts to SDXL and FLUX. It trains a LoRA on a folder of your own photos, and the same engine sits behind an HTTP API and an MCP server, so an AI agent can generate and edit images through it.

See it running

Twenty-one seconds, no edits.

Twenty-one seconds of the app itself, with no edits: a prompt typed live, the render running on a local GPU, the gallery, and the API an agent calls.

The progress panel is the app’s own, and the lighthouse at the end is what that render actually produced.

The rest of it

Not a wrapper around one model.

Five of its screens: training, model discovery, the machine check, compute and the gallery. Pick one.

As a tool

An agent can use it directly.

It ships an MCP server alongside the HTTP API, so Claude Code or anything else that speaks the protocol can drive it. Hand an agent a brief and let it iterate on your own hardware.

1DescribeAn agent sends a brief to generate_image over MCP — or you type it into the app.
2GenerateThe render runs on your own GPU. No per-image cost, no rate limit, nothing leaves the machine.
3Refineedit_image and inpaint_image let the agent iterate on what came back, as many times as it takes.

Your own tooling

Want one of these for your own work?

ImageForge is one person’s tool, built because the repetitive half of shipping was worth automating. The same instinct applies to whatever is repetitive in yours.
