Stable Diffusion LoRA style mixer
LoRAs let you bolt a style, character or concept onto a base Stable Diffusion
model — but stacking several means juggling strengths and <lora:...> tags by
hand. This mixer lets you add multiple LoRAs with strength sliders, watch the
total stacked weight, and copy correctly formatted tags ready to paste.
How LoRA syntax works
In AUTOMATIC1111, Forge and ComfyUI you activate a LoRA by adding a tag to your prompt:
<lora:filename:strength>
filename is the LoRA file in your models/Lora folder (no extension) and
strength scales how hard it is applied — 1.0 is full, 0.7 is a common
restrained default. Multiple LoRAs simply sit side by side:
a knight in armor <lora:epic_style:0.7> <lora:detail_boost:0.4>
Their effects add up, so two strong LoRAs can overpower the base model and each other. The mixer sums your strengths and flags when the stack gets heavy so you can dial it back before generating.
Tips for mixing LoRAs
- Start low. Set each LoRA to
0.6–0.8and raise only the one that needs more presence. - Watch the total. A combined weight above ~1.5 across style LoRAs usually muddies results.
- Match the base model. An SD 1.5 LoRA will not work on an SDXL checkpoint — keep the families consistent.
- Use trigger words. Many LoRAs need their trigger word in the text prompt as well as the tag; check the LoRA’s model card.
