Batch Generation

Local Dream supports serial batch generation.

What It Does

With batch generation, the app generates multiple images one after another using the same general setup.

This is useful when you want to:

  • explore several variations of a prompt
  • compare seeds quickly
  • create a larger candidate set before choosing one image to refine

Practical Advice

Batch generation is best used after your main prompt and parameters are already close to what you want.

If you are still changing the prompt heavily, it is usually better to test one image at a time first. Once the direction looks good, batch generation becomes much more useful.

Parameter Consistency

Because batch generation is meant for comparison, try not to change parameters in the middle of a run. Keep the setup stable so the output differences are easier to understand.

Seed Behavior

If you set a fixed seed before starting batch generation, the batch will be ignored. Generating multiple images with the same seed would produce identical results, so there is no benefit in repeating it.

Background Behavior

Batch generation runs as a foreground service, so it continues even when you switch to another app. A notification tracks progress while the app is in the background.
