What is DreamStudio (Stability AI)?

Stable Diffusion in a browser with predictable credits

DreamStudio is Stability AI’s hosted interface for Stable Diffusion models. Users enter prompts, set guidance and steps, and render images or outpaint variations. Pricing uses credits rather than subscriptions so teams pay per output; credits are purchasable and sometimes granted for trials. The Stability platform lists one cent per credit as a reference with operations consuming variable credits by model and resolution. This makes budgeting straightforward and friendly to sporadic projects. Power users can move to the API using the same account. DreamStudio remains useful for brand mood boards, concept art, thumbnails and marketing visuals when fast iterations matter.
