The cheapest Stable Diffusion API for anime and realism
If you build with Stable Diffusion — SDXL, Illustrious, Pony, NoobAI or classic SD 1.5 — but you are tired of renting GPUs, babysitting ComfyUI and fighting cold starts, this Stable Diffusion API gives you every popular community checkpoint behind a single HTTP call. Generate anime art with Danbooru tags on Illustrious and NoobAI, push score-tag prompts through Pony Diffusion V6 XL, or render photoreal portraits on Juggernaut XL and RealVisXL — all from $0.01 per image.
It is pay-as-you-go: credits from $10, 100 credits = $1, no monthly reset and no subscription. Bring your own LoRA to lock a character or style, set a negative prompt, choose any aspect ratio, and the fast endpoints return the image URL synchronously — no polling loop to write. SDXL checkpoints are $0.02 and SD 1.5 checkpoints are $0.01, which makes this one of the cheapest hosted Stable Diffusion APIs for both anime and realistic image generation.
And because it is one OpenAI-compatible API, the same key and balance that call SDXL also reach FLUX and Nano Banana for images, Veo, Kling and Seedance for video, frontier LLMs like Claude, GPT and Gemini, plus audio and 3D. Whether you searched for an SDXL API, an Illustrious or Pony API, an anime image generation API, or just the cheapest Stable Diffusion API — this is the one endpoint that covers it.
Questions
What is the Stable Diffusion API?+
It is a single REST endpoint for generating images with open-source Stable Diffusion checkpoints — SDXL, Illustrious, Pony, NoobAI and classic SD 1.5. You send a prompt and a model name, and you get an image URL back. No GPUs to rent, no models to download, no ComfyUI to maintain. Pricing is pay-as-you-go from $0.01 per image.
Which Stable Diffusion models are available?+
The catalog covers the most popular community checkpoints: Nova Anime XL, Hassaku XL and Anima Pencil XL; Pony Diffusion V6 XL, CyberRealistic Pony, Pony Realism, AutismMix and WAI-ANI Pony; NoobAI-XL; SDXL 1.0, Juggernaut XL, RealVisXL, Animagine XL and epiCRealism XL; plus SD 1.5 staples like DreamShaper, Realistic Vision and majicMIX. New checkpoints are added regularly.
How much does the SDXL / anime API cost?+
SDXL-family checkpoints (Illustrious, Pony, NoobAI, SDXL 1.0) are $0.02 per image. Classic SD 1.5 checkpoints are $0.01 per image. It is pay-as-you-go — buy credits from $10, 100 credits = $1, and they never reset. That makes it one of the cheapest Stable Diffusion APIs available for anime and realistic image generation.
Can I use Illustrious and Pony models for anime generation?+
Yes. The anime checkpoints are first-class — Danbooru tags work for Illustrious and NoobAI models, and Pony score tags (score_9, score_8_up …) work for Pony-based models. Add a negative prompt, pick an aspect ratio like 832x1216 for portraits, and you get gallery-quality anime art via the API.
Does it support LoRAs and ControlNet?+
You can pass LoRAs inline with a request to lock a character, style or concept on top of any checkpoint. The platform is built on a control-rich inference stack (LoRA, ControlNet, IP-Adapter, embeddings) and capabilities are exposed progressively through the same API.
Is it OpenAI-compatible?+
Yes. It is one REST API with the same key and credit balance as everything else on Hypereal — so the same integration that calls Stable Diffusion can also call FLUX, Nano Banana, video models (Veo, Kling, Seedance), frontier LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini), audio and 3D.
Do I need my own GPU?+
No. There are no GPUs to provision and no cold starts to manage. Send an HTTP request, get an image URL. If you do want raw GPU later, Hypereal offers that too — on the same account.
