DiffusionDB is the first large-scale text-to-image prompt dataset. It contains 14 million images generated by Stable Diffusion using prompts and hyperparameters specified by real users. The unprecedented scale and diversity of this human-actuated dataset provide exciting research opportunities in understanding the interplay between prompts and generative models, detecting deepfakes, and designing human-AI interaction tools to help users more easily use these models.
DiffusionDB is available at 🤗 Hugging Face Datasets.
DiffusionDB provides two subsets (DiffusionDB 2M and DiffusionDB Large) to support different needs.
| Subset | Num of Images | Num of Unique Prompts | Size | Image Directory | Metadata Table |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DiffusionDB 2M | 2M | 1.5M | 1.6TB | images/ |
metadata.parquet |
| DiffusionDB Large | 14M | 1.8M | 6.5TB | diffusiondb-large-part-1/ diffusiondb-large-part-2/ |
metadata-large.parquet |
- Two subsets have a similar number of unique prompts, but DiffusionDB Large has much more images. DiffusionDB Large is a superset of DiffusionDB 2M.
- Images in DiffusionDB 2M are stored in
pngformat; images in DiffusionDB Large use a losslesswebpformat.
We use a modularized file structure to distribute DiffusionDB. The 2 million images in DiffusionDB 2M are split into 2,000 folders, where each folder contains 1,000 images and a JSON file that links these 1,000 images to their prompts and hyperparameters. Similarly, the 14 million images in DiffusionDB Large are split into 14,000 folders.

└── metadata-large.parquetThese sub-folders have names part-0xxxxx, and each image has a unique name generated by UUID Version 4. The JSON file in a sub-folder has the same name as the sub-folder. Each image is a PNG file (DiffusionDB 2M) or a lossless WebP file (DiffusionDB Large). The JSON file contains key-value pairs mapping image filenames to their prompts and hyperparameters. For example, below is the image of f3501e05-aef7-4225-a9e9-f516527408ac.png and its key-value pair in part-000001.json.
{
"f3501e05-aef7-4225-a9e9-f516527408ac.png": {
"p": "geodesic landscape, john chamberlain, christopher balaskas, tadao ando, 4 k, ",
"se": 38753269,
"c": 12.0,
"st": 50,
"sa": "k_lms"
},
}The data fields are:
- key: Unique image name
p: Promptse: Random seedc: CFG Scale (guidance scale)st: Stepssa: Sampler
To help you easily access prompts and other attributes of images without downloading all the Zip files, we include two metadata tables metadata.parquet and metadata-large.parquet for DiffusionDB 2M and DiffusionDB Large, respectively.
The shape of metadata.parquet is (2000000, 13) and the shape of metatable-large.parquet is (14000000, 13). Two tables share the same schema, and each row represents an image. We store these tables in the Parquet format because Parquet is column-based: you can efficiently query individual columns (e.g., prompts) without reading the entire table.
Below are three random rows from metadata.parquet.
| image_name | prompt | part_id | seed | step | cfg | sampler | width | height | user_name | timestamp | image_nsfw | prompt_nsfw |

metadata.parquet and metatable-large.parquet share the same schema.
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
image_name |
string |
Image UUID filename. |
prompt |
string |
The text prompt used to generate this image. |
part_id |
uint16 |
Folder ID of this image. |
seed |
uint32 |
Random seed used to generate this image. |
step |
uint16 |
Step count (hyperparameter). |
cfg |
float32 |
Guidance scale (hyperparameter). |
sampler |
uint8 |
Sampler method (hyperparameter). Mapping: {1: "ddim", 2: "plms", 3: "k_euler", 4: "k_euler_ancestral", 5: "k_heun", 6: "k_dpm_2", 7: "k_dpm_2_ancestral", 8: "k_lms", 9: "others"}. |
width |
uint16 |
Image width. |
height |
uint16 |
Image height. |
user_name |
string |
The unique discord ID's SHA256 hash of the user who generated this image. For example, the hash for xiaohk#3146 is e285b7ef63be99e9107cecd79b280bde602f17e0ca8363cb7a0889b67f0b5ed0. "deleted_account" refer to users who have deleted their accounts. None means the image has been deleted before we scrape it for the second time. |
timestamp |
timestamp |
UTC Timestamp when this image was generated. None means the image has been deleted before we scrape it for the second time. Note that timestamp is not accurate for duplicate images that have the same prompt, hypareparameters, width, height. |
image_nsfw |
float32 |
Likelihood of an image being NSFW. Scores are predicted by LAION's state-of-art NSFW detector (range from 0 to 1). A score of 2.0 means the image has already been flagged as NSFW and blurred by Stable Diffusion. |
prompt_nsfw |
float32 |
Likelihood of a prompt being NSFW. Scores are predicted by the library Detoxicy. Each score represents the maximum of toxicity and sexual_explicit (range from 0 to 1). |
Warning Although the Stable Diffusion model has an NSFW filter that automatically blurs user-generated NSFW images, this NSFW filter is not perfect—DiffusionDB still contains some NSFW images. Therefore, we compute and provide the NSFW scores for images and prompts using the state-of-the-art models. The distribution of these scores is shown below. Please decide an appropriate NSFW score threshold to filter out NSFW images before using DiffusionDB in your projects.
DiffusionDB is large (1.6TB or 6.5 TB)! However, with our modularized file structure, you can easily load a desirable number of images and their prompts and hyperparameters. In the example-loading.ipynb notebook, we demonstrate three methods to load a subset of DiffusionDB. Below is a short summary.
You can use the Hugging Face Datasets library to easily load prompts and images from DiffusionDB. We pre-defined 16 DiffusionDB subsets (configurations) based on the number of instances. You can see all subsets in the Dataset Preview.
Note To use Datasets Loader, you need to install
Pillowas well (pip install Pillow)
import numpy as np
from datasets import load_dataset
# Load the dataset with the `large_random_1k` subset
dataset = load_dataset('poloclub/diffusiondb', 'large_random_1k')This repo includes a Python downloader download.py that allows you to download and load DiffusionDB. You can use it from your command line. Below is an example of loading a subset of DiffusionDB.
The script is run using command-line arguments as follows:
-i--index- File to download or lower bound of a range of files if-ris also set.-r--range- Upper bound of range of files to download if-iis set.-o--output- Name of custom output directory. Defaults to the current directory if not set.-z--unzip- Unzip the file/files after downloading-l--large- Download from Diffusion DB Large. Defaults to Diffusion DB 2M.
The specific file to download is supplied as the number at the end of the file on HuggingFace. The script will automatically pad the number out and generate the URL.
python download.py -i 23The upper and lower bounds of the set of files to download are set by the -i and -r flags respectively.
python download.py -i 1 -r 2000Note that this range will download the entire dataset. The script will ask you to confirm that you have 1.7Tb free at the download destination.
The script will default to the location of the dataset's part .zip files at images/. If you wish to move the download location, you should move these files as well or use a symbolic link.
python download.py -i 1 -r 2000 -o /home/$USER/datahoarding/etcAgain, the script will automatically add the / between the directory and the file when it downloads.
The script is set to unzip the files after all files have downloaded as both can be lengthy processes in certain circumstances.
python download.py -i 1 -r 2000 -zIf your task does not require images, then you can easily access all 2 million prompts and hyperparameters in the metadata.parquet table.
from urllib.request import urlretrieve
import pandas as pd
# Download the parquet table
table_url = f'https://huggingface.co/datasets/poloclub/diffusiondb/resolve/main/metadata.parquet'
urlretrieve(table_url, 'metadata.parquet')
# Read the table using Pandas
metadata_df = pd.read_parquet('metadata.parquet')We collected all images from the official Stable Diffusion Discord server. Please read our research paper for details. The code is included in ./scripts/.
If you find any harmful images or prompts in DiffusionDB, you can use this Google Form to report them. Similarly, if you are a creator of an image included in this dataset, you can use the same form to let us know if you would like to remove your image from DiffusionDB. We will closely monitor this form and update DiffusionDB periodically.
