Clip Interrogator analyzes images to extract likely prompts that produced them, useful for prompt engineers learning new visual styles and for general image description tasks.
Analyse images to find out what prompts might have been used to generate it. Can also be used as image description tool.
How do you use Clip Interrogator?
1Go to Clip Interrogator website
Navigate to the correct web page and you'll see Clip Interrogator's interface.
2Upload image
Upload the image you wish clip interrogator to give you a prompt for. I'll use the aiwizard logo / profile pic.
3Choose settings
You can change a few settings if you wish. I use the ViT-H (best for Stable Diffusion 2) and "best" mode, as I've found it gives the best results, but feel free to experiment.
4Submit & wait
Once you are happy with the settings, submit your image. Now you need to wait a bit, until the AI finishes its' work.
5Read prompt / description
After the AI is done, you see the prompt / description in the Output field. For the aiwizard logo, it gave quite an accurate description: "a close up of a person wearing a hat, sad wizard, painted in high resolution, symmetrical face illustration, starry night, very accurate coherent image, full color illustration, halloween, with a blue background, classical witch, highly detailed picture, hypperrealistic illustration, theater mask, an amazing photo, painterly illustration". I'd say that was pretty good.
