Is AUTOMATIC1111 / Forge Uncensored? Everything You Need to Know (2026)
Yes — AUTOMATIC1111 and Forge have no built-in content filter when run locally. But there are nuances. Here's exactly what's uncensored, what depends on the model, and how to set everything up.
The Short Answer
Yes. Both AUTOMATIC1111 and Forge have zero built-in content filters when run locally. No prompt censoring. No NSFW blocking. No logging.
But there's a nuance: the UI is uncensored — the model might not be. The censorship comes from the AI model itself, not the interface.
UI vs Model Censorship — The Key Distinction
People confuse two different things:
UI Censorship (Forge/A1111)
None. The interface never blocks, filters, or modifies your prompts. It sends whatever you type directly to the model. No content policy. No terms of service for local use.
Model Censorship (varies)
Some AI models are trained with content restrictions. For example, base Flux struggles with anatomy. Base SD3 has moderate censorship. But SDXL fine-tunes, Pony V6, and CHROMA are uncensored.
Translation: Forge/A1111 won't stop you from generating anything. But if you load a censored model, the model itself won't produce explicit content well — not because of the UI, but because of its training data.
Which Models Are Actually Uncensored?
| Model | Uncensored? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SDXL Fine-tunes | ✓ Yes | Juggernaut XL, RealVis XL, DreamShaper XL — all uncensored |
| Pony Diffusion V6 | ✓ Yes | Specifically trained without content restrictions |
| CHROMA (Flux fork) | ✓ Yes | Uncensored Flux — best photorealism |
| HunyuanImage | ✓ Yes | Zero restrictions out of the box |
| Base Flux (dev/schnell) | ~ Partial | Lightly censored — struggles with anatomy |
| SD3 / SD3.5 Base | ~ Partial | Moderate censorship in base model |
| SD 1.5 Fine-tunes | ✓ Yes | Legacy but huge ecosystem, many NSFW models |

What About the NSFW Checker?
Early versions of Stable Diffusion shipped with a "safety checker" module. Here's the current situation:
- AUTOMATIC1111: Safety checker is not active by default. If somehow enabled, you can disable it in Settings → Stable Diffusion → "Disable NSFW checker"
- Forge: Same as A1111 — no active safety checker
- ComfyUI: No safety checker at all — it was never included
Bottom line: you don't need to disable anything. Modern local UIs don't filter content.
Privacy: Are Your Prompts Safe?
When you run Forge or A1111 locally:
- No internet connection required after setup
- Prompts are never sent anywhere
- No telemetry, no analytics, no cloud calls
- Prompt metadata is saved in generated images (disable in Settings if desired)
- Everything stays on your hard drive
Compare this to cloud AI: every prompt on Midjourney, DALL-E, or Stability's API is logged, stored, and potentially reviewed. More on AI privacy.
Forge vs A1111: Which to Use?
Both are uncensored. But in 2026, Forge is the better choice:
- 10-30% faster generation on same hardware
- Lower VRAM usage — models that crash on 8 GB in A1111 run fine in Forge
- Native Flux/CHROMA support
- Same extensions — your A1111 extensions work in Forge
- Same UI — zero learning curve if switching

Bottom Line
AUTOMATIC1111 and Forge are completely uncensored. No content filter. No prompt logging. No NSFW blocking.
The only censorship comes from the model you load — and there are plenty of uncensored models available on CivitAI and HuggingFace. Load one of those into Forge, and you have total creative freedom with total privacy.
