Before you begin

  • A signed-in account.
  • A supported public source link for an import, with permission to use the weights.

What you’ll achieve: A LoRA selected for the right model, mode and role.

Model choices

An imported LoRA can be used in an unrestricted workflow only when its family and inputs match a compatible Less restrictive base model. Check its license and trigger words separately; importing does not change the model's policy.

Open the LoRA library

Open LoRA Studio's library view. Use Discover or your saved entries, then filter by model/output type rather than relying only on an entry's name.

Step 1 · Search LoRAs
Tong LoRA library interface for “Open the LoRA library”, with the Search LoRAs control highlighted by arrow 1.

A useful tip

Saved library entries, imported weights and model presets are related but have different compatibility rules.

If something goes wrong

If import fails, check the URL/version requirements and source access. If an entry is not compatible with the current model, choose a compatible model or a different entry instead of forcing it into an unsupported slot.
