# SDXL - VAE
#### How to use with 🧨 diffusers
You can integrate this fine-tuned VAE decoder to your existing `diffusers` workflows, by including a `vae` argument to the `StableDiffusionPipeline`
```py
from diffusers.models import AutoencoderKL
from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline
model = "stabilityai/your-stable-diffusion-model"
vae = AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained("stabilityai/sdxl-vae")
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model, vae=vae)
```
#### How to encode and decode Image example
```py
import torch
from PIL import Image
from diffusers import AutoencoderKL
from diffusers.image_processor import VaeImageProcessor
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
device=torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available else "cpu")
# Load the pre-trained VAE model
vae = AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained("stabilityai/sdxl-vae")
vae.to(device)
vae.eval()
# Load Image processor
image_processor = VaeImageProcessor()
# Load an image
image = Image.open("Paste Image here")
# Preprocess the image
image_tensor =image_processor.preprocess(image,height=256,width=256,resize_mode="fill").to(device)
# Encode the image
with torch.no_grad():
latent_representation = vae.encode(image_tensor).latent_dist.sample()
# Decode the latent representation back to image
with torch.no_grad():
reconstructed_image = vae.decode(latent_representation).sample
# Convert the decoded tensor to a displayable image
reconstructed_image = reconstructed_image.cpu()
reconstructed_image=image_processor.postprocess(reconstructed_image,output_type='pil')
reconstructed_image=reconstructed_image[0]
# Plot the original and reconstructed images side by side
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))
# Original image
plt.subplot(1, 2, 1)
plt.imshow(image)
plt.title("Original Image")
plt.axis("off")
# Reconstructed image
plt.subplot(1, 2, 2)
plt.imshow(reconstructed_image)
plt.title("Reconstructed Image")
plt.axis("off")
plt.show()
```
## Model
[SDXL](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-0.9) is a [latent diffusion model](https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.10752), where the diffusion operates in a pretrained,
learned (and fixed) latent space of an autoencoder.
While the bulk of the semantic composition is done by the latent diffusion model,
we can improve _local_, high-frequency details in generated images by improving the quality of the autoencoder.
To this end, we train the same autoencoder architecture used for the original [Stable Diffusion](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion) at a larger batch-size (256 vs 9)
and additionally track the weights with an exponential moving average (EMA).
The resulting autoencoder outperforms the original model in all evaluated reconstruction metrics, see the table below.
