sd-webui-infinite-image-browsing

https://github.com/zanllp/sd-webui-infinite-image-browsing

It's not just an image browser, but also a powerful image manager. Precise image search combined with multi-selection operations allows for filtering/archiving/packaging, greatly increasing efficiency. It also supports running in standalone mode, without the need for SD-Webui.

a1111-sd-webui-tagcomplete

https://github.com/DominikDoom/a1111-sd-webui-tagcomplete

It displays autocompletion hints for recognized tags from "image booru" boards such as Danbooru, which are primarily used for browsing Anime-style illustrations. Since some Stable Diffusion models were trained using this information, for example Waifu Diffusion and many of the NAI-descendant models or merges, using exact tags in prompts can often improve composition and consistency.

sd-webui-prompt-all-in-one

sd-dynamic-prompts

https://github.com/adieyal/sd-dynamic-prompts

A custom extension for AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui that implements an expressive template language for random or combinatorial prompt generation along with features to support deep wildcard directory structures.

sd-webui-EasyPhoto

https://github.com/aigc-apps/sd-webui-EasyPhoto

EasyPhoto is a Webui UI plugin for generating AI portraits that can be used to train digital doppelgangers relevant to you. Training is recommended to be done with 5 to 20 portrait images, preferably half-body photos and do not wear glasses (It doesn't matter if the characters in a few pictures wear glasses). After the training is done, we can generate it in the Inference section. We support using preset template images or uploading your own images for Inference.
