SDMetaKit.Core

Parse and write Stable Diffusion image metadata in the A1111/Automatic1111 and Forge text format.

Supports PNG tEXt chunks (parameters keyword) and JPEG EXIF (UserComment, ImageDescription).

Install

dotnet add package SDMetaKit.Core

Quick start

using SDMetaKit;

// Parse a PNG or JPEG file
var meta = await SdMetaKit.ParseFileAsync(@"C:\outputs\image.png");
Console.WriteLine(meta.Prompt);
Console.WriteLine(meta.Steps);      // "20"
Console.WriteLine(meta.Sampler);    // "Euler a"
Console.WriteLine(meta.Seed);

// Parse raw parameters text (no file I/O)
const string text = """
    a cat on a windowsill
    Negative prompt: blurry, watermark
    Steps: 28, Sampler: DPM++ 2M, CFG scale: 7, Seed: 42, Size: 512x768, Model: sd_xl
    """;
var fromText = SdMetaKit.Parse(text);

// Inject parameters into a PNG (returns new byte array)
byte[] png = await File.ReadAllBytesAsync("input.png");
byte[] withMeta = SdMetaKit.InjectParametersText(png, text);

// Portable blob encoding (SDMK1:base64url(deflate(json)))
string blob = SdMetaKit.EncodeBlob(meta);
if (SdMetaKit.TryDecodeBlob(blob, out var roundTrip))
    Console.WriteLine(roundTrip!.Prompt);

API surface

Method Description
ParseFileAsync(path) Extract + parse metadata from PNG/JPEG
Parse(text) Parse A1111 parameters block from string
InjectParametersText(png, text) Write tEXt chunk before IEND
EncodeBlob / DecodeBlob Compact metadata transport format
CreateExtractor() / CreateParser() / CreateWriter() DI-friendly factories

Extraction options

// SDPack-style: accept short EXIF comments without length filter
var meta = await SdMetaKit.ParseFileAsync(path, ExtractionOptions.NoLengthFilter);
  • SDMetaKit — CLI (sdmk), REST API, and this core library
  • Used by SDILab (SDPack, SDInfo, SDForgePanel)
