Diffusion models have shown strong generative capabilities in the field of text-guided image generation, allowing users to edit images through natural language. However, most existing methods rely on multi-step diffusion processes with slow sampling speeds and cannot meet the needs of real-time editing.
This multi-step approach is very inefficient, especially in application scenarios that require real-time interaction or rapid editing.
To speed up this process, this paper proposes a method called TurboEdit, which can perform efficient image editing with only a few diffusion steps.
TurboEdit uses a few-step diffusion model (such as SDXL Turbo) to significantly reduce the number of diffusion steps, and only 3 to 4 steps are needed to complete image editing, which is 6 to 630 times faster than traditional methods . This enables TurboEdit to achieve image editing at the sub-second level , thus meeting the needs of fast and real-time editing.
During the editing process, TurboEdit can also maintain image details, reduce artifacts (such as unnatural textures or distortion in images), enhance editing effects, and is compatible with various efficient sampling models. Its fast editing speed makes it extremely advantageous in applications that require interactivity, real-time, and efficiency, especially for large-scale image generation, real-time image editing, and other scenarios.
Key Features of TurboEdit
1. Efficient text-driven image editing
TurboEdit allows users to directly edit images through natural language text. Users can enter a descriptive text, such as "change the character's hat to red" or "change the background to a sunset scene", and the model will quickly modify the image based on these descriptions. TurboEdit completes these editing tasks through a few-step diffusion model, greatly reducing editing time. This approach is particularly suitable for interactive scenarios that require fast response, such as real-time content generation and adjustment.
- Real-time: TurboEdit's editing process only takes 3-4 steps, and the editing time can be as short as 0.3 seconds, making it very suitable for interactive image editing.
- Easy to use: Users only need to describe the desired changes on the image through natural language.
2. Reduce visual artifacts
In image editing, images generated quickly are often prone to artifacts, i.e. unnatural areas or blemishes in the image. TurboEdit significantly reduces these artifacts by introducing a technique called time-shifting of noise statistics . Specifically, the method analyzes the deviations in the noise sampling process in the diffusion model and proposes a new method to correct the noise statistics by shifting the time step parameter, thereby reducing the generation of artifacts during the editing process.
- Noise Correction: Reduces visual artifacts common in fast sampling processes by adjusting the offset in the noise sampling process.
- High Image Quality: TurboEdit is able to generate images quickly while maintaining high quality output, avoiding common blurred details or artifacts.
3. Enhanced editing strength
In traditional text image editing, the intensity of the edits is often not enough, which may result in the image modification effect not being obvious. TurboEdit enhances the model's responsiveness to text prompts through the **Pseudo-Guidance** strategy. This strategy enhances the effect of the edits by analyzing and improving the diffusion inversion formula without introducing new artifacts like other enhancement strategies. This means that users can see more significant image modification effects without losing image detail and quality.
- Pseudo-guidance strategy: Enhance the model’s ability to respond to textual prompts to make image editing effects more significant.
- No Additional Artifacts: Enhances editing effects without introducing new visual artifacts, keeping images clear.
4. Fast sampling and efficient editing
TurboEdit uses an efficient few-step diffusion model that can complete image editing in very few steps . Compared with traditional multi-step diffusion models (which may require dozens or hundreds of steps), TurboEdit can generate high-quality editing results in 3 to 4 steps, which gives it a huge advantage in speed. TurboEdit's editing speed is 6 to 630 times faster than existing methods, and is particularly suitable for scenarios that require fast iteration or large-scale image editing.
- Fewer-step editing: Only 3-4 steps of diffusion process are needed to complete complex image editing tasks.
- Speed up: TurboEdit makes editing hundreds of times faster than traditional methods, especially suitable for large-scale image generation and fast-response applications.
5. Keep the details and content of the image consistent
In image editing, TurboEdit pays special attention to maintaining the details and structure of the original image while modifying it . Traditional diffusion models may damage the overall structure of the image when editing, such as changing important details in the original image or changing the image layout. TurboEdit's method ensures that only the user-specified areas or elements are modified while maintaining the original image layout, thereby achieving higher content consistency.
- Detail Preservation: When modifying an image, TurboEdit is able to preserve the details of the original image without affecting the unmodified areas.
- High consistency: TurboEdit can ensure that during the image editing process, the unmodified parts remain consistent with the original image.
6. Compatibility with fast sampling models
TurboEdit can be combined with existing efficient diffusion models, such as SDXL-Turbo , to further improve the efficiency of image editing. This compatibility allows TurboEdit to be applied in various efficient sampling frameworks, providing users with a faster image generation and editing experience.
- High compatibility: Ability to combine with existing fast sampling models to further improve the speed of image editing and generation.
- Flexible application: It can be applied to various image editing and generation frameworks, expanding the application scenarios of TurboEdit.
Some Examples of TurboEdit
Technical Methods of TurboEdit
TurboEdit's core technology is based on diffusion models and low-step image editing, which ensures that it can perform high-quality text-driven image editing in a fast and low-step manner.
1. Few-step diffusion model
Traditional diffusion models usually require hundreds of steps to complete a high-quality image generation process, which results in very slow processing. To speed up the process, TurboEdit uses a technology called few-step diffusion model , such as SDXL Turbo .
- Fewer-step sampling: By optimizing the diffusion process, TurboEdit only needs 3 to 4 steps to complete image generation or editing, rather than dozens or hundreds of steps.
- Temporal offset denoising techniquea temporal offset denoising technique: In few-step sampling, artifacts (visual errors in the image) are easily generated due to statistical mismatches in the denoising process. TurboEdit proposes
that adjusts the denoising time step to align the noise distribution with the expected distribution, thereby reducing artifacts.
2. Noise statistics time offset adjustment
In diffusion models, the noise inversion process determines the generation process of the image from the initial state to the target state. However, traditional multi-step diffusion methods are prone to noise biases , especially when sampling with few steps, and these biases can cause visual artifacts in the image. TurboEdit introduces a noise statistics time offset adjustment technique to correct these noise biases, ensuring that the generated image remains consistent and high quality when sampling quickly.
Technical points:
- TurboEdit reduces the noise bias common in short-step sampling by adjusting the offset of the time step parameter during the noise sampling process.
- This adjustment mechanism enables the model to invert noise more accurately and avoids artifacts caused by fast sampling.
3. Pseudo-Guidance Strategy
TurboEdit introduces a pseudo-guidance strategy to enhance the editing effect, which is similar to the Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) technique in the diffusion model.
Pseudo-guidance is an improved diffusion inversion method that redesigns the inference formula so that the model can respond more strongly to the text description entered by the user without introducing artifacts or losing image details.
- Guidance process: At each denoising step, the model is adjusted based on the text input to ensure that the image changes in the direction that conforms to the new instructions. This guidance method can prevent the generated image from deviating from the expectations and enhance the strength of the edits.
- Pseudo-guiding: TurboEdit uses a pseudo-guiding strategy to avoid introducing artifacts while enhancing editing strength. By adjusting the guidance in the denoising step, TurboEdit enhances text editing while maintaining image quality.
Technical points:
- By adding a pseudo-guidance mechanism to the inference formula, TurboEdit enhances the model's sensitivity to textual cues, making the editing effect more obvious.
- Compared with traditional methods, the pseudo-guided method can further improve the text-driven image modification effect without increasing artifacts.
4. Fast sampling and inference optimization
TurboEdit emphasizes the speed and quality of image editing , especially in practical applications, where short-step editing must not only maintain high quality but also require fast enough response speed. To this end, TurboEdit combines a series of inference optimization and fast sampling technologies, so that each frame of the image can be edited and generated within 3-4 steps.
Technical points:
- TurboEdit uses an efficient fast sampling algorithm to optimize the sampling path during the diffusion process, ensuring that the generated results of each step are close to the final goal.
- Each step in the inference process is fine-tuned to minimize error and maximize image quality when inferring with fewer steps.
5. Noise statistics adjustment
During the editing process, TurboEdit observed that the few-step diffusion model produced mismatched noise statistics when denoising, resulting in artifacts. To address this issue, TurboEdit used a noise statistics adjustment method to make the noise distribution of each step closer to the normal diffusion noise distribution, reducing visual errors.
- Timing Shift: During the denoising process, TurboEdit artificially advances the noise removal step so that the noise distribution of the image is aligned with the expected distribution, preventing artifacts caused by asynchronous time steps.
- Final step noise correction: TurboEdit performs special processing on the final step of denoising to ensure that the final step of noise correction does not cause image distortion.
6. Analysis and improvement of equivalent sampling method
In the research, TurboEdit found that its sampling method is equivalent to the existing Delta Denoising Score and Posterior Distillation Sampling (PDS) methods under specific learning rates and sampling strategies. Through in-depth analysis of these equivalent sampling methods, TurboEdit proposed a more precise reasoning method, which makes it more efficient and flexible in few-step editing.
Technical points:
- TurboEdit reanalyzes the equivalent sampling method in the existing diffusion model and optimizes the learning rate and sampling strategy so that it can maintain the same effect as the multi-step method in few-step reasoning.
- This technique ensures that TurboEdit does not lose details or editing effects during the few-step inference process.
7. Maintain original image content and details
During the editing process of TurboEdit, special emphasis is placed on maintaining the structure and details of the original image . Traditional diffusion models often change the overall layout of the image or destroy details when performing large-scale editing. TurboEdit uses specific noise inversion and sampling controls in its editing process to ensure that only the parts that need to be modified are adjusted without affecting other parts of the image.
Technical points:
- TurboEdit provides precise control over changes to edited and non-edited areas, ensuring that unmodified portions of the image remain consistent with the original.
- For the editing part, TurboEdit ensures that the edited images are clear in details and free of artifacts.

5. Ablation experiment verifies technical contribution
Ablation experiments show that the core components of TurboEdit contribute significantly to its performance. After removing the pseudo-guided strategy and adjusting the noise statistics , the editing intensity decreases and the artifacts increase, proving that these techniques are critical to the model's performance.
