⭐ Forge Classic Neo portable version ⭐

• Updated 1st October 2026 to Forge Neo version 2.29.1

Three preconfigured versions:

• NVIDIA: PyTorch 2.13.0 - CUDA 13.0 (supports Nvidia RTX 2000-5000 series)
• INTEL : PyTorch 2.14.0 - XPU (EXPERIMENTAL support for Intel Arc A and B series)
• AMD : PyTorch 2.9.1 - ROCm 7.2.1 (supports AMD Radeon RX 7000 and 9000 series)

All versions require a current graphics driver. AMD requires a specific driver version for optimal support.

Forge Classic in its "Neo" branch is currently the most updated webui fork, supporting many modern models like SDXL, Flux, Anima, WAN and Krea2. This portable version can just be run without the need to install anything else. Now includes ffmpeg for Wan video.

This version is not supported or endorsed by Haoming02!

🟨Quickstart

The portable version is a single folder that contains everything the webui needs, nothing gets installed on your system. Download the version for your graphics card, extract it to a short path (e.g. "C:\AI\Forge") and start it.

➡️ Use the "run.bat" to start! ⬅️

[NVidia full pack 7Zip]

[Intel full pack 7Zip]

[AMD full pack 7Zip]

Includes everything needed to run plus the following popular addons preinstalled for your convenience:

• Tag Autocomplete (including db/e621 tag file)
• Forge Couple (better Regional Prompter)
• Dynamic Prompts (wildcards and much more)
• AADetailer (advanced automatic face inpainter)
• NegPip (powerful prompt enhancer)
• Inpaint Mask Tools (useful helper for inpainting)
• Infinite Image Browsing (catalogs all your output for easy search)
• RemBG (Background remover)
• Krea2 Edit (fixed) (image editing with Krea2)
• Gallery Refresh Fix (fixes the result gallery not updating after a webui restart)

[NVidia Pytorch 7Zip]

[Intel Pytorch 7Zip]

[AMD Pytorch 7Zip]

Includes everything to run (webui and pytorch)

[NVidia basic setup 7Zip]

Basic environment setup, will download everything else on first run

⚠️If you receive an error like this during extraction, your WinRAR version is too old. Update it or install 7-Zip.

🟨NVidia GTX 1000 series and older

The included PyTorch (CUDA 13.0) no longer supports GTX 1000 series and older cards. To use them, download the NVidia version, run change-pytorch.bat and pick the "legacy" CUDA option (CUDA 12.6), then start the webui with run.bat as usual.

🟨Intel XPU and AMD ROCm notes

Very large models (e.g. Krea2) can fill the VRAM so much that the card runs out of memory: on Intel XPU the webui may crash with a "DEVICE_LOST" error, on AMD ROCm Windows may start swapping into system RAM, which makes generation extremely slow.
Use the GPU Weights slider in the top bar of the webui to keep part of the VRAM free (1.0 = use all VRAM, takes effect immediately):

• lower it (e.g. 0.85 on XPU, 0.90 on ROCm) if a large model crashes or gets slow
• raise it (up to 1.0) for more speed, if your models run fine

🟨Usage

This portable version contains all components required to use the webui without needing to install any additional components. The only thing your system needs are the Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes, but if you are not using a naked Windows install it is very likely that you already have those. If you don't have them you can download them here:

• Latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Installer
  https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x64.exe

After you unzip the archive you will find a few batch files in the main directory which must be used to run and modify the portable environment.

• run.bat
  This file sets up the necessary environment variables and launches the webui

• update-webui.bat
  Run this to check for webui updates online. It will automatically update to the latest version of the branch you are on.

• get-models.bat
  On a fresh install of the webui you will be missing a few essential/popular models and this file will download them for you.

• switch-branch.bat
  If you want to switch the current webui branch use this file to do so.
  Only use this if you know what you are doing!

• environment.bat
  Starts a cmd.exe within the portable environment. You can use this to manually modify the embedded Python.
  Only use this if you know what you are doing!

• change-pytorch.bat
  This allows you to switch to a different Pytorch version, or just reinstall the current one if you encounter issues.
  Only use this if you know what you are doing!

The webui also accepts startup parameters for various effects, and you can still edit the "webui\webui-user.bat" as usual, but start the webui with the "run.bat" in the main directory to make sure the portable environment is set up.
