Where Does AUTOMATIC1111 Store Models and Output?
AUTOMATIC1111 WebUI models, outputs and config inside the install folder on each OS.
Last updated
AUTOMATIC1111 keeps everything inside its install folder. Checkpoints sit in models Stable-diffusion, outputs land in output, and options live in config.json plus ui-config.json.
There is no per user AppData involved. Move the folder and the setup moves with it. Extensions sit under extensions and can dwarf the base install.
Where AUTOMATIC1111 stores this, by platform
[InstallDir]\models\Stable-diffusion\
Checkpoints and safetensors here. Outputs default to [InstallDir]\outputs\. Config is [InstallDir]\config.json. Keep install on a drive with room; models grow fast.
[InstallDir]/models/Stable-diffusion/
Same in-folder layout. Launch scripts sit at the install root. Moving between machines needs only copying the folder plus Python deps reinstall.
[InstallDir]/models/Stable-diffusion/
Same arrangement. VAE, LoRA and embeddings sit in sibling models subfolders. Exclude outputs from backups to save space; keep models and configs.
Frequently asked questions
Where do Stable Diffusion checkpoints go?
Into models Stable-diffusion under the WebUI root as .ckpt or .safetensors, then press reload in the UI. SDXL variants use their own sibling folders in newer builds.
Where are AUTOMATIC1111 images saved?
Under outputs by date inside the install folder unless changed in settings. Grids and individual saves sit together. Point a second drive at outputs when space runs low.
