Start with an idea

What you can make

01

Build a reusable image-generation workflow, then repaint selected areas with an inpainting model.

02

Upscale a set of images with a saved workflow instead of rebuilding the processing steps each time.

Creator demonstration

See the documented workflow

Official examples include output images with reusable workflow metadata. The workflow was not executed here.

Before you begin

What it takes to run

Desktop app + model workflow

  • Desktop installers exist for Windows and macOS; manual installation supports more hardware. Choose and download the models required by your workflow.
  • GPU/RAM needs depend on the exact model and workflow; do not assume that any workflow will fit a small GPU.

The real tradeoffs

Cost & licensing

Running costs

No core software license fee; local hardware costs apply.

Model downloads need storage and compatible compute. Optional Comfy Cloud and partner API nodes are paid services.

Code license

GPL-3.0

Read the code license

Models & other terms

Varies by selected model

The application license does not grant rights to every checkpoint, custom node or generated output.

Know the limitations

  • Node graphs take practice, and custom nodes introduce separate dependency and code-trust risks.
  • Workflow compatibility can change; model licenses and optional paid API costs need separate checks.
