⭐ reForge portable version ⭐

• Updated 28th January 2026 with reForge version f1.0.0v2-v1.10.1RC-latest-2502
• Updated to Python 3.12.10

Three preconfigured versions:

• PyTorch 2.9.1 - CUDA 13.0 (supports up to Nvidia RTX 5xxx/Blackwell GPUs)
• PyTorch 2.10.0 - XPU (supports Intel ARC GPUs)
• PyTorch 2.9.1 - ROCm 7.2 (EXPERIMENTAL support for AMD Radeon 9000 and 7000 series GPUs)

reForge not being available as a portable version I wanted to build one to make the installation experience as simple as possible. This version comes with embbedded Python and Git, so you don't need to install either separately, it contains everything it needs to run.

This version is not supported or endorsed by Panchovix!

🟨Quickstart

[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)
• ADetailer (automatic face inpainter)
• Inpaint Mask Tools (useful helper for inpainting)
• Infinite Image Browser (catalogs all your output for easy search)
• RemBG (background remover)

➡️ NVidia Pytorch 7Zip
Includes everything to run (webui and pytorch)

➡️ NVidia Setup 7Zip
Basic environment setup, will download everything else on first run

Use the "run.bat" to start!
⚠️If you receive an error like this during extraction, your WinRAR version is too old. Update it or install 7-Zip.

🟨Usage

This portable version contains all components required to use reForge 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.

Check the _readme.txt for additional information!

• 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.

🟨Step by step for the official embeddable zip version

You should of course not simply trust a random stranger on the internet about anything, so if you don't want to use the prebuild packackes I also have documented step by step how I created these

stepbystep-pythonportable.md This version uses the official "Windows embeddable package (64-bit)" package.
