Generate High-Fidelity Photorealistic Images with Ease
Avoid artificial textures and complex negative prompting. CyberRealistic XL delivers highly realistic human features, skin textures, and balanced lighting directly from simple, descriptive natural language prompts.
The solid foundation for photorealistic AI generation
Developed by Cyberdelia, CyberRealistic XL addresses the common pitfalls of generic SDXL base models, serving as a reliable and flexible canvas for creators, fine-tuners, and developers.
Realistic Skin Textures
Baked-In VAE
Straightforward Prompting
Coherent Anatomy
Versatile Compositions
LoRA & ControlNet Ready
Highly realistic output with minimal prompting complexity
Many photorealistic checkpoints require extensive negative embeddings and overly specific, complex parameters just to avoid basic rendering errors. CyberRealistic XL uses continuous custom blends and rigorous testing to yield clean, balanced results naturally.
Robust Composition Coherence
Excels at rendering multi-subject scenes, action shots, and unconventional camera angles with a lower rate of structural failure.
Simplicity in Usage
Engineered to deliver solid, studio-grade results using short, descriptive natural language prompts without mandatory clutter.
Why CyberRealistic XL is a popular choice for photorealistic AI
Photographers, digital designers, and AI creators need precise control over lighting, composition, and human anatomy. CyberRealistic XL bridges the gap between digital generation and authentic photographic aesthetics.

How to create with CyberRealistic XL
Generate high-quality photography by following these simple setup and sampling recommendations.
01
1. Load the Checkpoint
Download the latest CyberRealistic XL safetensors and place it in your stable-diffusion-webui or ComfyUI models directory.
02
2. Keep Your Prompt Simple
Write your prompt in descriptive natural language (e.g., 'A candid portrait of a woman at a coffee shop, natural light, shallow depth of field').
03
3. Configure Sampler Settings
Set your sampler to DPM++ 2M SDE Karras, steps to 30+, and CFG scale between 3 and 5 for optimal results.
04
4. Upscale with Hires.fix
Perform a 1.5x upscale with a low denoising strength (0.3 - 0.35) using 4x_NickelbackFS_72000_G for optimal sharpness.
Advanced capabilities for professional workflows
Packed with continuous refinement and custom optimizations, CyberRealistic XL sets a reliable benchmark for open-source photorealistic models.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about CyberRealistic XL, its parameters, and how to use it.
CyberRealistic XL is an open-source, SDXL-based photorealistic image generation model developed by Cyberdelia.
CyberRealistic XL is built on standard SDXL 1.0, focusing on realistic environments, scenery, and natural human textures using simple natural language. CyberRealistic Pony is based on Pony Diffusion V6, which is optimized for complex poses, stylized characters, and NSFW content, but requires specific 'score_9' tags and custom negative embeddings.
Unlike other models, CyberRealistic XL does not require overly long or repetitive prompt templates. Simply write a natural English description of your scene, and add basic photography terms if needed (e.g., 'RAW photo, golden hour, shallow depth of field').
For optimal results, use the DPM++ 2M SDE Karras sampler, 30+ steps, a CFG scale between 3 and 5, and an initial resolution of 832x1216 or 896x1152. A 1.5x upscale with a low denoising strength (0.3 - 0.35) is highly recommended.
No, CyberRealistic XL has a baked-in VAE, so you do not need to download or apply an external VAE file in your WebUI or ComfyUI.
Yes, the model allows commercial use of generated images under the CreativeML Open RAIL++-M license. Please refer to the official model page on Civitai or Hugging Face for the complete and updated terms.
CyberRealistic XL is the stable, production-ready release. CyberRealistic XL Catalyst is an experimental branch where the author tests new merge ratios and training techniques. Successful elements from the Catalyst version are periodically integrated into the main model updates.
