Caption Creator

Caption Creator is a portable Windows app for generating high-quality text from images. Create captions, tags, JSON, YAML, Illustrious prompts, or fully custom outputs for image datasets, LoRA training, AI prompting, and folder organization.

Run everything locally with built-in GGUF models, or connect your own vision model through LM Studio or Ollama. Your images stay on your computer.
