What are LoRA Models?

LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) models are small add-on models that teach FLUX new styles, characters, or concepts without replacing the base model. They're much smaller than full models but add powerful creative capabilities.

LoRA Usage Tips

📝 Use Trigger Words

Each LoRA has specific trigger words (like "GHIBSKY style" or "anime"). Include these in your prompts for best results.

⚖️ Adjust Weight

Start with weight 0.8-1.0. Lower weights (0.3-0.7) for subtle effects, higher weights (1.0-1.5) for stronger style.

🔄 Combine LoRAs

You can use multiple LoRAs together, but keep total weight under 2.0 to avoid artifacts.

🎯 Model Compatibility

Use LoRAs trained for FLUX.1-dev with the FLUX Dev model for best compatibility.
