imgsorter

Image sorting based on keywords with python.

Features:

• 🗝 creates a keyword frequency list from a directory of images
• 🗂 sorts images into folders based on keywords
• 🔮 use it to sort AI art that contains prompts in the file name!

Use:

1. Run imgsortr.py in the directory where your folder of images is
2. Prompt will ask for the name of your images folder (or just press enter to use the default name images)
3. Images are sorted! See the demo below:

Note: images are only copied, not deleted.

Detailed description:

This is a python version of my imgsortr package for R. I’ve been enjoying using Dall-E 2 to generate images, and so I wanted a way to quickly sort them into folders based on keywords.

The requirement is that images contain keywords as text. E.g. fox eating a mango in the matrix.png.

I have only used it for .png files. And file names I think have to be separated by spaces but I haven't tested this.

I use the DALL-E 2 Image Downloader extension in chrome to download the image results of a prompt, and the file names inherit some of the prompt keywords. Any files you download like this will be ready to sort.

Beware 💀 this is my first time using python. Similar things already exist for sure, and its probably a very inefficient script, but I'm looking for any feedback, contributions, new features, etc!
