Features

Everything your output folder forgot to remember.

Image MetaHub turns large local generative media folders into a searchable, visually discoverable, inspectable and reusable creative library, including generated 3D assets.

Core library tools

Start with the fundamentals: local indexing, rich metadata parsing and fast ways to find the exact thing you generated.

Search

Metadata-aware search

Find files by prompt, model, LoRA, seed, sampler, scheduler, dimensions, folder, filename, rating, tags and media type.

Inspect

Generation context

Read normalized metadata, original embedded payloads, workflow details, notes, tags and ratings without modifying the source file.

Organize

Tags, favorites and stacks

Curate large collections with favorites, ratings, manual tags, auto-tags, smart stacks and grouping.

Watch

Auto-watch folders

Keep output folders indexed as new generations appear, so your gallery stays current while you work.

Group by Session

Move through huge libraries

Group outputs by generation session, then move between sections with calendar badges and representative thumbnails.

Formats

Images, video, audio and 3D

Browse common image, video and audio formats alongside GLB, GLTF, OBJ, FBX and STL models in one local generative media library.

Privacy

Local-first by design

Your media, cache, tags, metadata and library context stay on your machine unless you deliberately open an external link or integration.

New in v0.19

Find by sight. Browse beyond 2D.

Visual similarity search and first-class 3D model support extend the library beyond filenames, prompts and flat media.

Find Similar

Search visually, not just by metadata

Select an image and find visually related results across the local library, including images with no useful generation metadata. Visual indexing is opt-in, the model download is an explicit action, and search can use WebGPU acceleration with a WASM fallback. Free covers the 2,000 newest images; Pro can index the full library.

3D Model Library

Keep generated models with the rest of your work

Index, filter, thumbnail, view and export GLB, GLTF, OBJ, FBX and STL models. Image MetaHub keeps generation context in sidecars when a 3D format cannot embed that metadata itself.

Search by the way AI work is actually made.

The app understands generator metadata instead of treating your outputs as ordinary image files. That makes it easier to recover prompts, compare experiments and reuse working settings.

Generators

Broad parser support

Automatic1111, ComfyUI, InvokeAI, Forge, SwarmUI, Fooocus, SD.Next, Draw Things, Midjourney/Niji, Firefly, DreamStudio, DALL-E and compatible payloads.

Lineage

Source and derived files

Track img2img, inpaint and outpaint context when source-image metadata is available.

Pro workflow features

Pro is for daily users who need generation integrations, comparison tools and batch workflows for large libraries.

ComfyUI

Workspace and generation flow

Open an embedded ComfyUI workspace beside your selected image, then copy, inspect, generate, copy metadata fields and track progress from the same context.

A1111

Send parameters back

Copy A1111-compatible generation text or send normalized parameters directly to a local Automatic1111 server.

Compare

Side-by-side decisions

Compare 2-4 outputs with synchronized viewing and metadata differences, or use focused two-image modes like slider, hover, flicker, diff map, loupe and edge comparison.

Analytics

Understand resource usage

Explore model, LoRA, prompt, timing and performance patterns across the library.

Batch

Move faster at scale

Use batch export, bulk tagging and in-app file management when the library gets too large for manual cleanup.

Editor

Built-in image editor

Edit still images locally with adjustments, crop, rotate, flip, resize, sharpen, blur, annotations, text, highlights and blur/pixelate regions, then Save As or Overwrite while preserving metadata.

Queue

External ComfyUI monitoring

Optionally detect ComfyUI jobs started outside Image MetaHub and show their waiting, processing, done or failed state in the generation queue.

ComfyUI workflows stay readable.

Image MetaHub helps recover the context behind ComfyUI generations, including workflow payloads, node metadata, prompt structure, workspace actions and companion Save Node performance data when available.

Workflow

Inspect embedded graphs

Open generated files and review the workflow data that would otherwise be buried inside image metadata.

Performance

Verify richer outputs

Use MetaHub Save Node metadata for tags, notes, timing and GPU details.
