Why InstantX Union is Better than DiffSynth?

InstantX Union ControlNet combines four control types (canny, soft edge, depth, and pose) into one model file. Instead of downloading separate models for each control type, you get everything in one package.

Unlike DiffSynth, which makes you load different models for different tasks, InstantX Union lets you switch between control types instantly. Less storage, less setup, same quality.

For Qwen Image users, this means creating complex, high-quality images with simpler setup, better compatibility, and instant access to the most common control modes all in a unified, user-friendly package.
