AUTOMATIC1111 Prompt Metadata Viewer
Inspect AUTOMATIC1111 prompt metadata, seeds, samplers, and CFG settings from PNG files and compatible JPEG or WebP images. All processing is done locally in your browser.
How to view AUTOMATIC1111 prompt metadata
When you generate an image with AUTOMATIC1111's Stable Diffusion Web UI, the tool embeds the full generation parameters, including the positive prompt, negative prompt, sampler, seed, CFG scale, model hash, and more, directly into the image metadata. PNG files usually store that data in text chunks, while compatible JPEG and WebP images may carry it in EXIF metadata. This data is invisible in normal image viewers but contains everything needed to reproduce or study the image.
The AI Image Prompt Viewer reads that embedded metadata and displays it in a structured, readable format. It is useful for recovering prompts from your own images, studying techniques used in images shared by others, or archiving generation settings for future reference.
AUTOMATIC1111 prompt metadata examples
- Extract the prompt and negative prompt from a Stable Diffusion PNG, JPEG, or WebP image that still contains metadata
- Find the exact seed used to generate an AI image
- Check which sampler and CFG scale were used for a specific generation
- Recover generation settings from an image you created weeks ago
How to use this prompt metadata viewer
- Drag and drop a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image generated by AUTOMATIC1111 onto the drop zone, or click to select a file from your device.
- The viewer parses the image's embedded metadata and displays the positive prompt, negative prompt, and all generation parameters.
AUTOMATIC1111 prompt metadata FAQ
Which AI tools embed prompt metadata?
AUTOMATIC1111's Stable Diffusion Web UI is the primary tool that this viewer targets. It most commonly stores full generation parameters in PNG metadata, and some workflows preserve them in JPEG or WebP EXIF metadata. Other tools like ComfyUI and InvokeAI use different metadata formats that this viewer does not currently support.
Why does the viewer show nothing for my image?
The image may not have been generated with AUTOMATIC1111, or the metadata may have been stripped. Uploading to social media, resizing, or re-saving often removes the embedded data from PNG, JPEG, and WebP images alike.
Does this work with JPEG or WebP images?
Yes, when those files still contain compatible metadata.
AUTOMATIC1111 primarily embeds metadata in PNG files using text
chunks. JPEG and WebP files generated by the same tool may contain
metadata in EXIF UserComment fields, but support varies.
PNG is still the most reliable format for metadata extraction.
Can I use the extracted prompt to recreate the image?
Yes. If you have the same model, the extracted prompt, negative prompt, seed, sampler, and CFG scale are usually enough to reproduce a very similar, and often identical, result.
