Scribble Diffusion — the hosted sketch-to-image demo is gone
scribblediffusion.com no longer hosts the sketch tool. The MIT app is still on GitHub and needs a Replicate API token to run.

What is Scribble Diffusion?
What it costs
- Free tier
- No
- Pricing summary
- On 13 October 2026, scribblediffusion.com answered with a 301 to a site that is not the sketch tool. This page does not link that destination. The Replicate repository was still public, under the MIT license, and its README still tells you to paste a Replicate API token before the canvas. Generations then run on Replicate, which bills that token. This page does not list Replicate’s per-run prices.

What the project still is
A sketch plus a prompt
The README says ControlNet turns a scribble and text into an image, through Replicate.
A Next.js app
The same README says the interface is a Next.js app deployed in the past on Vercel, with the model call on the server.
A token gate
A captured start screen asks for a Replicate API token before “Start scribbling.” That screen is not what the old domain serves now.
How to treat a Scribble Diffusion link
Do not expect the public canvas
The old domain no longer opens the sketch tool.
Start from the repository
The MIT project on GitHub is the copy Replicate still publishes. Its README is the setup note.
Or use a hosted canvas
Krea and Vizcom were serving sites on the review date. Replicate is the platform this demo calls.
Who this note is for
Designers with the old bookmark
Need to see why the sketch page is gone.
Developers who will self-host
Already use Replicate and want the MIT app, not a marketing site.
Teams that need a render today
A product sketch should go to a hosted studio, not a repository README.
When Scribble Diffusion is the right pick
What was checked
- Domain redirect
- https://scribblediffusion.com/ returned HTTP 301. The next page was not the sketch demo, so this overview does not send you there.
- Repository
- https://github.com/replicate/scribble-diffusion returned HTTP 200. GitHub lists the license as MIT.
- No hosted price
- There is no Scribble Diffusion pricing page. Cost is whatever Replicate charges for the model run on your token.
