SmartGallery 2.11: Local DAM from AI Generation to Professional Delivery (Free & Open Source)
A free, offline tool that automatically indexes and makes your AI image workflows searchable.
Developer biagiomaf has launched SmartGallery 2.11, a free and open-source Digital Asset Management (DAM) system specifically designed for the messy world of AI-generated imagery. Unlike generic file browsers, it automatically crawls your local folders, extracting and indexing the rich metadata embedded by tools like ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion. This turns thousands of generated images into a searchable database where you can find files by prompt, model, LoRA, or even user-added comments, all while working entirely offline and independent of your AI software to avoid breakage on updates.
For professionals and teams, SmartGallery adds crucial workflow management on top of simple search. Users can rate images, add comments, and assign color-coded states like 'review' or 'approved.' A powerful 'Exhibition Mode' lets you share curated collections with clients through a separate portal, where they can comment and rate without seeing the underlying prompts or workflow details, which are automatically stripped for downloads. The tool is fully responsive for mobile use, supports video files via FFmpeg, and offers multi-user roles (admin, client, guest), making it a viable, cost-free alternative for organizing AI art from generation to final delivery.
- Automatically indexes local AI image folders and extracts metadata from ComfyUI/SD workflows for offline, searchable access.
- Features a client-facing 'Exhibition Mode' portal that shares collections while hiding prompts and stripping sensitive metadata on download.
- Cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux/Docker), runs independently of AI tools to prevent breakage, and is completely free and open-source.
Why It Matters
It solves the critical problem of organizing and professionally delivering the massive, metadata-rich files created by modern AI image generation workflows.
