Read PNG File EXIF Info outside the UI | Mac

[juan9999]

Hi, what Mac utilizes can read the PNG prompt info? Photo Mechanic and finder, WidsMob Viewer, do not.

jExifToolGui does it, but it's annoying because the value field is on a single line and so you see only a portion of the prompt. However, it's all there. If you copy the field and paste it somewhere else, you'll see the whole thing.

I looked a lot for an alternative that supports multiple lines, but couldn't find anything better than this.

Thanks for the tip!

Two more questions:
-Any idea how to use it to delete the prompt?

• I used another tool to delete all exif, verified that it's no longer visible in jExifToolGui , but when I pop the image with the removed exif info back into automatic1111 (png info) it doesn't display anything but when I then send it to txt2img it's all there! I'm so confused!
• Is there a quick way in exiftool to delete all exif metadata and add a (c) section for a batch? I couldn't figure out how to do it in exiftool commands

On Windows you can see the prompt and other metadata by just opening an image in Notepad++. All the info is close to the beginning of the file. I'm sure there's a Mac equivalent text editor that would do the same.

One way to erase the Stable Diffusion metadata / exif data is to open the file in Photoshop and save it again. If you wanted to do this for a batch you could create a Photoshop Action or use Automate > Batch to open and save multiple files automatically.

Thanks the best tool on the max seems to be https://github.com/hvdwolf/jExifToolGUI

I currently use export in lightroom, but don't like the fact that it adds a bunch of photoshop tags. Just found out that above tool erases metadata too!
