Stable Diffusion Negative Prompts (Updated List)

The image you have in mind should be described in the form of a prompt, and then the model will generate the image accordingly, which would be very difficult as the generated image usually has some errors.

If you describe your prompt with full details and with all parameters, there is a low probability that the generated image will have some flux. The negative prompt is one such parameter that is used to better understand the AI model so that the generated image is accurate.

This article is about what a negative prompt is and a list of negative prompts that tell the AI model what it should not have in the image when creating an AI-generated image.

What is a Negative Prompts in Stable Diffusion?

Negative prompts in the stable diffusion are a parameter with which the user can specify what he/she does not want to see in the generated image. It is one of the best known and simplest methods to make the image more detailed and accurate.

Simply put, positive prompts can be defined as the details and the types of images you want to generate from the stable diffusion model, while negative prompts are the exact opposite of positive prompts, i.e. the details you do not want in the generated image.

For example, you want to generate a river landscape portrait but in the landscape, you don’t want mountains then in the negative prompts section, you have to write the mountains keyword because by doing this the mountain will not be there in the generated image.

If you are a new Stable Diffusion user, you can do some testing yourself to see how the negative prompting works.
