What is Civitai?

Civitai is the central library of the open AI art world: hundreds of thousands of Stable Diffusion checkpoints, LoRAs, embeddings and workflows shared by their creators, each with example images and community reviews. If a style or character model exists in the open ecosystem, it is probably hosted here first, free to download and use.

An on-site generator lets you create with hosted models using Buzz credits, and bounties pay creators to build models the community requests. Downloads run locally in tools like ComfyUI or AUTOMATIC1111 for unlimited, private generation. Civitai's openness includes clearly gated adult sections — something workplaces should note before rolling it out to teams.
