ComfyUI-ImageMetadataExtension

node-preview

Custom node for ComfyUI. It adds additional metadata for saved images, ensuring compatibility with the Civitai website.

This is a fork of nkchocoai/ComfyUI-SaveImageWithMetaData.

Key differences:

  • Simplified the node by removing unnecessary fields for general use.

  • Included metadata for LoRa weights.

  • The subdirectory_name field allows you to specify a custom name or use mask values to create a subdirectory for saved images. For example, using the mask %date:yyyy-MM% (formatting options) will create a directory named with the current year and month (e.g., 2024-10), organizing your images by the date they were generated.

  • The output_format defines the saved image format:

    • png, jpg, webp – saves in the specified format.
    • png_with_json, jpg_with_json, webp_with_json – saves in the chosen format and writes workflow metadata to a JSON file with the same name.
  • The quality option has the following levels:

    • max / lossless WebP – 100%
    • high – 80%
    • medium – 60%
    • low – 30%

    (Lower quality, smaller file size. PNG images ignore this setting.)

  • The metadata_scope option controls metadata inclusion:

    • full – default metadata + extra metadata.
    • default – same as the SaveImage node.
    • workflow_only – workflow metadata only.
    • none – no metadata.
