ComfyUI

Images

Precision workflows for visual AI.

ComfyUI makes a generation pipeline visible as a graph of models, conditioning, transforms, and outputs. Creators can reuse complete workflows, present a graph through App Mode, or call it through an API. Local execution, paid Comfy Cloud, and optional paid API nodes are distinct ways to run a workflow.

  • Compose image, video, audio, 3D, and text workflows on a visual node graph
  • Save reusable workflows, subgraphs, templates, and simplified App Mode interfaces
  • Run locally or in Comfy Cloud and integrate workflows through API endpoints

What people use it for

Build a repeatable image pipeline

Connect model loading, prompting, conditioning, sampling, upscaling, and output nodes into a graph whose parameters and execution path can be inspected, saved, and shared with the generated media.

Prototype a multimodal workflow

Combine maintained nodes and templates for image, video, audio, 3D, or text work, then adjust only the portions of the graph that need to change as models and creative requirements evolve.

Expose a controlled production tool

Wrap a sophisticated graph in App Mode for operators or invoke it through API endpoints inside a broader production pipeline without requiring every user to edit the underlying node canvas.
