> [!TIP]
> If you're using IP-Adapter with `ip_adapter_image_embedding` instead of `ip_adapter_image`', you can set `load_ip_adapter(image_encoder_folder=None,...)` because you don't need to load an encoder to generate the image embeddings.  
```py
image_embeds = pipeline.prepare_ip_adapter_image_embeds(
ip_adapter_image=image,
ip_adapter_image_embeds=None,
device="cuda",
num_images_per_prompt=1,
do_classifier_free_guidance=True,
)
