# DreamBooth

[DreamBooth](https://huggingface.co/papers/2208.12242) is a method for generating personalized images of a specific instance. It works by fine-tuning the model on 3-5 images of the subject (for example, a cat) that is associated with a unique identifier (`sks cat`). This allows you to use `sks cat` in your prompt to trigger the model to generate images of your cat in different settings, lighting, poses, and styles.

DreamBooth checkpoints are typically a few GBs in size because it contains the full model weights.

Load the DreamBooth checkpoint with [from_pretrained()](/docs/diffusers/pr_12448/en/api/pipelines/overview#diffusers.DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained) and include the unique identifier in the prompt to activate its generation.

```py
import torch
from diffusers import AutoPipelineForText2Image

pipeline = AutoPipelineForText2Image.from_pretrained(
    "sd-dreambooth-library/herge-style",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16
).to("cuda")
prompt = "A cute sks herge_style brown bear eating a slice of pizza, stunning color scheme, masterpiece, illustration"
pipeline(prompt).images[0]
```
