Dataset tools — images & text

From a folder of camera-named photos to a clean, captioned, resized dataset — six tools, used in this order.

Tool 1

Renamer — give the dataset clean names

Camera names such as IMG_20260914_101501.png mean nothing to a training tool. The Renamer copies the files to Subject-Concept-0001.png, Subject-Concept-0002.png… in a random order.

Renamer settings: source folder, output folder, subject, concept and options
Tools › Renamer, filled in.
  1. 1
    Source Folder — the folder to rename. Sub-folders are included.
  2. 2
    Output Folder — filled in for you: renamed inside the source.
  3. 3
    Subject Name — the first part of the new names, for example the person or object.
  4. 4
    Concept Name — optional second part: a style, a place, a tag.
  5. 5
    Randomize order — shuffles the numbering so the training does not learn the original order.
  6. 6
    Copy files — on by default: the originals stay untouched. Untick it to move the files instead.

Start Number and Digits set the counter (4 digits = 0001). Images only skips non-image files. Click Run.

The Renamer log listing every copied file with its new name
The result, file by file.
  1. 1
    Run — renames (copies) every file of the source.
  2. 2
    Log — one line per file: old name → new name.
Tool 2

Captions — one text file per image

Training tools read one .txt caption next to each image. Captions creates them all at once.

Captions tool: image folder, same text for all, backup option and the created files
Tools › Captions.
  1. 1
    Image Folder — the dataset (the files directly in it).
  2. 2
    Fill all captions with same text — writes the text below into every file; unticked, the files are empty.
  3. 3
    Caption text — for example a trigger phrase shared by the whole dataset.
  4. 4
    Backup existing .txt files — an existing caption is renamed with a timestamp before being replaced.
  5. 5
    Run — creates the caption files.
  6. 6
    Log — one line per file created.
Tool 3

Tag Editor — clean every caption in one go

Remove or replace a word in every caption of a folder. Here, the tag watermark is removed from 8 files.

Tag Editor with the search text, options and the preview counts
Preview first: nothing is changed yet.
  1. 1
    Search For — the tag, word or phrase to find.
  2. 2
    Replace With — the new text. Leave it empty to delete.
  3. 3
    Whole word — matches cat but not category. Case sensitive and Regex are also available.
  4. 4
    Cleanup leftover commas — after a delete, removes the empty , , left in tag lists.
  5. 5
    Preview Matches — counts the matches without changing anything.
  6. 6
    Counters — how many files, and how many matches in how many files.
Tag Editor result: five edits in five files
Then Run.
  1. 1
    Run — applies the change to every matching file.
  2. 2
    Status — the number of edits made.
  3. 3
    Log — one line per file changed.
Backup. With Backup .txt files before editing ticked, each changed file keeps a copy named name.txt.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.bak.
Tool 4

Prompts — all captions in one file

Collects every caption of a folder into a single prompts file, one line per caption — handy to test a model with the real captions of a dataset.

Prompts tool: output file, prefix, run button and the result
Tools › Prompts.
  1. 1
    Output File — where the combined file is written.
  2. 2
    Prefix — optional text added before every line (a Suffix is added after).
  3. 3
    Run — builds the file.
  4. 4
    Status — how many prompts were collected.
Tool 5

Resizer — every image at the right size

Resize a whole folder to a target size, by its longest or shortest side, in PNG at maximum quality.

Resizer gallery with source and target sizes under each thumbnail
Each thumbnail shows its size now and after.
  1. 1
    Load Images — shows the images of the source folder as a gallery.
  2. 2
    Target Size — in pixels, for example 1024.
  3. 3
    Resize longest / shortest side — which side gets the target size; the other one follows the proportions.
  4. 4
    Output Folder — filled in for you: resized inside the source.
  5. 5
    Resize Selected — resizes the ticked images (Select All / Deselect All above).
  6. 6
    Thumbnail — untick an image to leave it out.
Resizer log after resizing six images
Done: one log line per image.
Tool 6

Image Compare — before and after, side by side

Load two images and drag the slider to see the difference: an upscale, an edit, two model outputs.

Image Compare with a soft image on the left and the sharp one on the right of the slider
Left of the slider: A (before). Right: B (after).
  1. 1
    Browse A — the before image — or drop a file on the left half.
  2. 2
    Browse B — the after image — or drop a file on the right half.
  3. 3
    Slider — click or drag anywhere in the view to move it.
  4. 4
    Swap A/B, Fit, Clear — exchange the two images, reset the zoom, empty both slots.
Zoom. The mouse wheel zooms where the cursor is; hold the middle button to pan. Both images move together, pixel for pixel.
