About ComfyUI
ComfyUI is an open-source application for creating images and other media with diffusion models. Instead of a fixed form, you build a workflow as a graph of connected nodes, where each node handles a step such as loading a model, encoding a prompt or sampling. It is written in Python on top of PyTorch and licensed under GPL-3.0.
The project provides a graphical interface, an API and a backend in one package. The modular design means workflows can be saved, shared and extended, and new capabilities are added through additional nodes. Because inference runs locally, users keep control over their models and outputs. The maintainers describe it more broadly as an engine for AI content creation.
The code is maintained by Comfy Org, which also runs the website at comfy.org, and releases are published on GitHub. ComfyUI suits artists, researchers and developers who want fine control over image generation pipelines and are comfortable wiring nodes together rather than using a simple prompt box.
