The next generation in Stable Diffusion AI technology, SDXL uses a 2 step process to create your AI art. 

For the first step, render your artwork in SDXL. This AI model has an amazing capability to imagine concepts that have been out of reach with other AI models. However, SDXL renders may be a bit blurry or lacking in details, which brings us to the second step. 

The SDXL Refiner is used to clarify your images, adding details and fixing flaws. Check out the SDXL Refiner page for more information.
