ComfyUI

Added New

Our verdict

The power tool for creative pipelines you control: build a workflow once as a node graph, rerun it, share it, or call it from your own app. The learning curve is real and local runs need a capable GPU, so start from a template workflow rather than a blank canvas.

Who it's for
Creators and builders who want repeatable, local image and video pipelines

What it does

ComfyUI is a GPL-3.0 visual node-graph interface for building image, video, 3D, audio and text generation workflows without code. It runs on Windows, Linux and macOS via a desktop app, portable install or cloud, supports a broad list of open models, offers reusable subgraphs, templates and App Mode, and has a local API for integrating workflows into applications. Partner nodes give access to some closed models.

How builders use it

  • Install the desktop app and start from a template in the workflow library instead of wiring nodes from scratch.
  • Save a working graph and reuse it for every batch of images or clips.
  • Use App Mode to expose a complex workflow as a simple UI for teammates.
  • Call a saved workflow through the local API from a script or your app.

What to expect

Consistent, repeatable outputs from a pipeline you can version and automate, without paying per image for open models.
