☁ Usage in cloud :

Comfyui is great for local usage, but even me I sometimes need more power...
I have a computer with a 4070 super with 12GB and flux fp8 simple wokflow take about ~40 seconds. With a 4090 in the cloud I can run flux fp16 in ~12 seconds.

My referal link for Runpod : https://runpod.io?ref=tkowk7g5 (If you use that i will have a commission, at no extra cost for you.)
If you want to use my nodes and comfyui in the cloud (and can install more stuff), I'm managing an optimized ready-to-use template on runpod : https://runpod.io/console/deploy?template=r32dtr35u1&ref=tkowk7g5
Template name : bjornulf-comfyui-allin-workspace, can be operational in ~3 minutes. (Depending on your pod, setup and download of extra models or whatever not included.)
You need to create and select a network volume before using that, size is up to you, i have 50Gb Storage because i use cloud only for Flux or lora training on a 4090. (~0.7$/hour)
⚠️ When pod is ready, you need to open a terminal in browser (After clicking on connect from your pod) and use this to launch ComfyUI manually : cd /workspace/ComfyUI && python main.py --listen 0.0.0.0 --port 3000 (Much better to control it with a terminal, check logs, etc...)
After that you can just click on the Connect to port 3000 button.
As file manager, you can use the included JupyterLab on port 8888.
If you have any issues with it, please let me know.
It will manage everything in Runpod network storage (/workspace/ComfyUI), so you can stop and start the cloud GPU without losing anything, change GPU or whatever.
Zone : I recommend EU-RO-1, but up to you.
Top-up your Runpod account with minimum 10$ to start.
⚠️ Warning, you will pay by the minute, so not recommended for testing or learning comfyui. Do that locally !!!
Run cloud GPU only when you already have your workflow ready to run.
Advice : take a cheap GPU for testing, downloading models or settings things up.
To download checkpoint or anything else, you need to use the terminal.

πŸ“ Nodes descriptions

1 - πŸ‘ Show (Text, Int, Float)

Show Text

Description:
The show node will only display text, or a list of several texts. (read only node)
3 types are managed : Green is for STRING type, Orange is for FLOAT type and blue is for INT type. I put colors so I/you don't try to edit them. 🀣

2 - βœ’ Write Text

write Text

Description:
Simple node to write text.

3 - βœ’πŸ—” Advanced Write Text (random selection and variables)

write Text Advanced

Description:
Advanced Write Text node allows for special syntax to accept random variants, like {hood|helmet} will randomly choose between hood or helmet.
You also have seed and control_after_generate to manage the randomness.
It is also displaying the text in the comfyui console. (Useful for debugging)
Example of console logs :

Raw text: photo of a {green|blue|red|orange|yellow} {cat|rat|house}
Picked text: photo of a green house

You can also create and reuse variables with this syntax : <name>. Usage example :

variables

4 - πŸ”— Combine Texts

Combine Texts

Description:
Combine multiple text inputs into a single output. (can have separation with : comma, space, new line or nothing.)

5 - 🎲 Random (Texts)

Random Text

Description:
Generate and display random text from a predefined list. Great for creating random prompts.
You also have control_after_generate to manage the randomness.

6 - β™» Loop

Loop

Description:
General-purpose loop node, you can connect that in between anything.
It has an optional input, if no input is given, it will loop over the value of the STRING "if_no_input" (take you can edit).
❗ Careful this node accept everything as input and output, so you can use it with texts, integers, images, mask, segs etc... but be consistent with your inputs/outputs.
Do not use this Loop if you can do otherwise.

This is an example together with my node 28, to force a different seed for each iteration :
Loop

7 - β™» Loop Texts

Loop Texts

Description:
Cycle through a list of text inputs.

Here is an example of usage with combine texts and flux :
Loop Texts example

8 - β™» Loop Integer

Loop Integer Loop Int + Show Text

Description:
Iterate through a range of integer values, good for steps in ksampler, etc...

❗ Don't forget that you can convert ksampler widgets to input by right-clicking the ksampler node :
Widget to Input

Here is an example of usage with ksampler (Notice that with "steps" this node isn't optimized, but good enough for quick testing.) :
Widget to Input

9 - β™» Loop Float

Loop Float + Show Text Loop Float

Description:
Loop through a range of floating-point numbers, good for cfg, denoise, etc...

Here is an example with controlnet, trying to make a red cat based on a blue rabbit :
Loop All Samplers

10 - β™» Loop All Samplers

Loop All Samplers

Description:
Iterate over all available samplers to apply them sequentially. Ideal for testing.

Here is an example of looping over all the samplers with the normal scheduler :
Loop All Samplers

11 - β™» Loop All Schedulers

Loop All Schedulers

Description:
Iterate over all available schedulers to apply them sequentially. Ideal for testing. (same idea as sampler above, but for schedulers)

12 - β™» Loop Combos

Loop Combos

Description:
Generate a loop from a list of my own custom combinations (scheduler+sampler), or select one combo manually.
Good for testing.

Example of usage to see the differences between different combinations :
example combos

13/14 - πŸ“ + πŸ–Ό Resize and Save Exact name βš οΈπŸ’£

Resize and Save Exact

Description:
Resize an image to exact dimensions. The other node will save the image to the exact path.
βš οΈπŸ’£ Warning : The image will be overwritten if it already exists.

15 - πŸ’Ύ Save Text

Save Text

Description:
Save the given text input to a file. Useful for logging and storing text data.

16 - πŸ–ΌπŸ’¬ Save image for Bjornulf LobeChat (❗For my custom lobe-chat❗)

Save Bjornulf Lobechat

Description:
❓ I made that node for my custom lobe-chat to send+receive images from Comfyui API : lobe-chat
It will save the image in the folder output/BJORNULF_LOBECHAT/. The name will start at api_00001.png, then api_00002.png, etc...
It will also create a link to the last generated image at the location output/BJORNULF_API_LAST_IMAGE.png.
This link will be used by my custom lobe-chat to copy the image inside the lobe-chat project.

17 - πŸ–Ό Save image as tmp_api.png Temporary API βš οΈπŸ’£

Save Temporary API

Description:
Save image for short-term use : ./output/tmp_api.png βš οΈπŸ’£

18 - πŸ–ΌπŸ“ Save image to a chosen folder name

Save Temporary API

Description:
Save image in a specific folder : my_folder/00001.png, my_folder/00002.png, etc...
Also allow multiple nested folders, like for example : animal/dog/small.

19 - πŸ¦™ Ollama

Show Text

Description:
Will generate detailed text based of what you give it.
I recommend using mistral-nemo if you can run it, but it's up to you. (Might have to tweak the system prompt a bit)
⚠️ Warning : Having an ollama node that will run for each generation might be a bit heavy on your VRAM. Think about if you really need it or not.

20 - πŸ“Ή Video Ping Pong

Video Ping Pong

Description:
Create a ping-pong effect from a list of images (from a video) by reversing the playback direction when reaching the last frame. Good for an "infinity loop" effect.

21 - πŸ“Ή Images to Video

Images to Video

Description:
Combine a sequence of images into a video file.
❓ I made this node because it supports transparency with webm format. (Needed for rembg)
Temporary images are stored in the folder ComfyUI/temp_images_imgs2video/ as well as the wav audio file.

22 - πŸ”² Remove image Transparency (alpha)

Remove Alpha

Description:
Remove transparency from an image by filling the alpha channel with a solid color. (black, white or greenscreen)
Of course it takes in an image with transparency, like from rembg nodes.
Necessary for some nodes that don't support transparency.

23 - πŸ”² Image to grayscale (black & white)

Image to Grayscale

Description:
Convert an image to grayscale (black & white)
Example : I sometimes use it with Ipadapter to disable color influence.
But you can sometimes also want a black and white image...

24 - πŸ–Ό+πŸ–Ό Combine images (Background + Overlay)

Combine Images

Description:
Combine two images into a single image : a background and one (or several) transparent overlay. (allow to have a video there, just send all the frames and recombine them after.)
Update 0.11 : Add option to move vertically and horizontally. (from -50% to 150%)
❗ Warning : For now, background is a static image. (I will allow video there later too.)
⚠️ Warning : If you want to directly load the image with transparency, use my node πŸ–Ό Load Image with Transparency β–’ instead of the Load Image node.

25 - πŸŸ©βžœβ–’ Green Screen to Transparency

Greenscreen to Transparency

Description:
Transform greenscreen into transparency.
Need clean greenscreen ofc. (Can adjust threshold but very basic node.)

26 - 🎲 Random line from input

Random line from input

Description:
Take a random line from an input text. (When using multiple "Write Text" nodes is annoying for example, you can use that and just copy/paste a list from outside.)
You can change fixed/randomize for control_after_generate to have a different text each time you run the workflow. (or not)

27 - β™» Loop (All Lines from input)

Loop input

Description:
Iterate over all lines from an input text. (Good for testing multiple lines of text.)

28 - πŸ”’ Text with random Seed

Description:

❗ This node is used to force to generate a random seed, along with text.
But what does that mean ???
When you use a loop (β™»), the loop will use the same seed for each iteration. (That is the point, it will keep the same seed to compare results.)
Even with randomize for control_after_generate, it is still using the same seed for every loop, it will change it only when the workflow is done.
Simple example without using random seed node : (Both images have different prompt, but same seed)

Text with random Seed 1

So if you want to force using another seed for each iteration, you can use this node in the middle. For example, if you want to generate a different image every time. (aka : You use loop nodes not to compare or test results but to generate multiple images.)
Use it like that for example : (Both images have different prompt AND different seed)

Text with random Seed 2

Here is an example of the similarities that you want to avoid with FLUX with different prompt (hood/helmet) but same seed :

Text with random Seed 3

Here is an example of the similarities that you want to avoid with SDXL with different prompt (blue/red) but same seed :

Text with random Seed 4

FLUX : Here is an example of 4 images without Random Seed node on the left, and on the right 4 images with Random Seed node :

Text with random Seed 5

29 - πŸ–Ό Load Image with Transparency β–’

Load image Alpha

Description:
Load an image with transparency.
The default Load Image node will not load the transparency.

30 - πŸ–Όβœ‚ Cut image with a mask

Cut image

Description:
Cut an image from a mask.

31 - πŸ”Š TTS - Text to Speech (100% local, any voice you want, any language)

TTS

Description:
Listen to the audio example

❗ Node never tested on windows, only on linux for now. ❗

Use my TTS server to generate speech from text, based on XTTS v2.
❗ Of course to use this comfyui node (frontend) you need to use my TTS server (backend) : https://github.com/justUmen/Bjornulf_XTTS
I made this backend for https://github.com/justUmen/Bjornulf_lobe-chat, but you can use it with comfyui too with this node.
After having Bjornulf_XTTS installed, you NEED to create a link in my Comfyui custom node folder called speakers : ComfyUI/custom_nodes/Bjornulf_custom_nodes/speakers
That link must be a link to the folder where you installed/stored the voice samples you use for my TTS, like default.wav.
If my TTS server is running on port 8020 (You can test in browser with the link http://localhost:8020/tts_stream?language=en&speaker_wav=default&text=Hello) and voice samples are good, you can use this node to generate speech from text.

Details
This node should always be connected to a core node : Preview audio.

My node will generate and save the audio files in the ComfyUI/Bjornulf_TTS/ folder, followed by the language selected, the name of the voice sample, and the text.
Example of audio file from the screenshot above : ComfyUI/Bjornulf_TTS/Chinese/default.wav/你吃了吗.wav
You can notice that you don't NEED to select a chinese voice to speak chinese. Yes it will work, you can record yourself and make yourself speak whatever language you want.
Also, when you select a voice with this format fr/fake_Bjornulf.wav, it will create an extra folder fr of course. : ComfyUI/Bjornulf_TTS/English/fr/fake_Bjornulf.wav/hello_im_me.wav. Easy to see that you are using a french voice sample for an english recording.

control_after_generate as usual, it is used to force the node to rerun for every workflow run. (Even if there is no modification of the node or its inputs.)
overwrite is used to overwrite the audio file if it already exists. (For example if you don't like the generation, just set overwrite to True and run the workflow again, until you have a good result. After you can set it to back to False. (Paraphrasing : without overwrite set to True, It won't generate the audio file again if it already exists in the Bjornulf_TTS folder.)
autoplay is used to play the audio file inside the node when it is executed. (Manual replay or save is done in the preview audio node.)

So... note that if you know you have an audio file ready to play, you can still use my node but you do NOT need my TTS server to be running. My node will just play the audio file if it can find it, won't try to connect th backend TTS server.
Let's say you already use this node to create an audio file saying workflow is done with the Attenborough voice : TTS

As long as you keep exactly the same settings, it will not use my server to play the audio file! You can safely turn in off, so it won't use your precious VRAM Duh. (TTS server should be using ~3GB of VRAM.)

Also input is optional, it means that you can make a workflow with ONLY my TTS node to pre-generate the audio files with the sentences you want to maybe use later, example :
TTS

32 - πŸ§‘πŸ“ Character Description Generator

characters characters

Description:
Generate a character description based on a json file in the folder characters : ComfyUI/custom_nodes/Bjornulf_custom_nodes/characters
Make your own json file with your own characters, and use this node to generate a description.
❗ For now it's very basic node, a lot of things are going to be added and changed !!!
Some details are unusable for some checkpoints, very much a work in progress, the json structure isn't set in stone either.
Some characters are included.

33 - β™» Loop (All Lines from input πŸ”— combine by lines)

loop combined

Description:
Sometimes you want to loop over several inputs but you also want to separate different lines of your output.
So with this node, you can have the number of inputs and outputs you want. See example for usage.

34 - 🧹 Free VRAM hack

free vram free vram

Description:
So this is my attempt at freeing up VRAM after usage, I will try to improve that.
For me, on launch ComfyUI is using 180MB of VRAM, after my clean up VRAM node it can go back down to 376MB.
I don't think there is a clean way to do that, so I'm using a hacky way.
So, not perfect but better than being stuck at 6GB of VRAM used if I know I won't be using it again...
Just connect this node with your workflow, it takes an image as input and return the same image without any changes.
❗ Comfyui is using cache to run faster (like not reloading checkpoints), so only use this free VRAM node when you need it.
❗ For this node to work properly, you need to enable the dev/api mode in ComfyUI. (You can do that in the settings)

35 - ⏸️ Paused. Resume or Stop ?

pause resume stop pause resume stop pause resume stop

Description:
Automatically pause the workflow, and rings a bell when it does. (play the audio bell.m4a file provided)
You can then manually resume or stop the workflow by clicking on the node's buttons.
I do that let's say for example if I have a very long upscaling process, I can check if the input is good before continuing. Sometimes I might stop the workflow and restart it with another seed.
You can connect any type of node to the pause node, above is an example with text, but you can send an IMAGE or whatever else, in the node input = output. (Of course you need to send the output to something that has the correct format...)

36 - βΈοΈπŸ” Paused. Select input, Pick one

pick input

Description:
Automatically pause the workflow, and rings a bell when it does. (play the audio bell.m4a file provided)
You can then manually select the input you want to use, and resume the workflow with it.
You can connect this node to anything you want, above is an example with IMAGE. But you can pick whatever you want, in the node input = output.

37 - πŸŽ²πŸ–Ό Random Image

random image

Description:
Just take a random image from a list of images.

38 - β™»πŸ–Ό Loop (Images)

loop images

Description:
Loop over a list of images.
Usage example : You have a list of images, and you want to apply the same process to all of them.
Above is an example of the loop images node sending them to an Ipadapter workflow. (Same seed of course.)

39 - β™» Loop (βœ’πŸ—” Advanced Write Text)

loop write text

Description:
If you need a quick loop but you don't want something too complex with a loop node, you can use this combined write text + loop.
It will take the same special syntax as the Advanced write text node {blue|red}, but it will loop over ALL the possibilities instead of taking one at random.
0.40 : You can also use variables <name> in the loop.

40 - 🎲 Random (Model+Clip+Vae) - aka Checkpoint / Model

random checkpoint

Description:
Just simply take a trio at random from a load checkpoint node.
Notice that it is using the core Load checkpoint node. It means that all checkpoint will be preloaded in memory.

Details :

  • It will take more VRAM, but it will be faster to switch between checkpoints.
  • It can't give you the currently loaded checkpoint name's.

Check node number 41 before deciding which one to use.

41 - 🎲 Random Load checkpoint (Model Selector)

pick input

Description:
This is another way to select a load checkpoint node randomly.
It will not preload all the checkpoints in memory, so it will be slower to switch between checkpoints.
But you can use more outputs to decide where to store your results. (model_folder is returning the last folder name of the checkpoint.)
I always store my checkpoints in a folder with the type of the model like SD1.5, SDXL, etc... So it's a good way for me to recover that information quickly.

Details :

  • Note that compared to node 40, you can't have separate configuration depending of the selected checkpoint. (For example CLIP Set Last Layer node set at -2 for a specific model, or a separate vae or clip.) Aka : All models are going to share the exact same workflow.

Check node number 40 before deciding which one to use.

42 - β™» Loop (Model+Clip+Vae) - aka Checkpoint / Model

pick input

Description:
Loop over all the trios from several checkpoint node.

43 - πŸ“‚πŸ–Ό Load Images from output folder

pick input

Description:
Quickly select all images from a folder inside the output folder. (Not recursively.)
So... As you can see from the screenshot the images are split based on their resolution.
It is not a choice I made, it is something that is part of the comfyui environment.
It's also not possible to edit dynamically the number of outputs, so I just picked a number : 4.
The node will separate the images based on their resolution, so with this node you can have 4 different resolutions per folder. (If you have more than that, maybe you should have another folder...)
To avoid error or crash if you have less than 4 resolutions in a folder, the node will just output white tensors. (white square image.)
So this node is a little hacky for now, but i can select my different characters in less than a second.
If you want to know how i personnaly save my images for a specific character, here is part of my workflow (Notice that i personnaly use / for folders because I'm on linux) :
pick input
In this example I put "character/" as a string and then combine with "nothing". But it's the same if you do "character" and then combine with "/". (I just like having a / at the end of my folder's name...)

If you are satisfied with this logic, you can then select all these nodes, right click and Convert to Group Node, you can then have your own customized "save character node" :
pick input

Here is another example of the same thing but excluding the save folder node :
pick input

44 - πŸ–ΌπŸ” Select an Image, Pick

pick input

Description:
Select an image from a list of images.
Useful in combination with my Load images from folder and preview image nodes.

You can also of course make a group node, like this one, which is the same as the screenshot above :
pick input

45 - πŸ”€ If-Else (input == compare_with)

if else

Description:
If the input given is equal to the compare_with given in the widget, it will forward send_if_true, otherwise it will forward send_if_false.
You can forward anything, below is an example of forwarding a different size of latent space depending if it's SDXL or not.

if else

If-Else are chainables, just connect output to send_if_false.
⚠️ Always simply test input with compare_with, and connect the desired value to send_if_true. ⚠️
Here a simple example with 2 If-Else nodes (choose between 3 different resolutions). ❗ Notice the same write text node is connected to both If-Else nodes input :

if else

Let's take a similar example but let's use my Write loop text node to display all 3 types once :

if else

If you understood the previous examples, here is a complete example that will create 3 images, landscape, portrait and normal :

if else

Workflow is hidden for simplicity, but is very basic, just connect latent to Ksampler, nothing special.)
You can also connect the same advanced loop write text node with my save folder node to save the images (landscape/portrait/normal) in separate folders, but you do you...
