7 Best Custom Nodes for Comfy UI

Think of custom nodes as little power-ups for your ComfyUI setup. They’re like extra tools in your already jam-packed creative toolbox. And let me tell you, there are some real gems out there that can seriously level up your workflow. So, I thought I’d share a few of my absolute favorites, the ones I just can’t live without these days.

Custom Nodes for Comfy UI

SDXL Prompt Styler

Then there’s SDXL Prompt Styler by twri. Oh man, this one is just pure fun! Ever get tired of wrestling with prompts to get a specific style? Well, say goodbye to those days! SDXL Prompt Styler introduces style templates. Imagine this: you just type in your basic prompt, then BAM! You pick a style from a list – could be “photorealistic,” “anime,” “oil painting,” you name it – and it generates your image in that style. It’s like having a whole art style library at your fingertips. And the coolest part? You can even add your own styles! Just tweak a simple JSON file and boom, your unique style is ready to roll. It’s ridiculously easy and incredibly powerful.

GGUF

Let’s kick things off with gguf from calcuis. Now, this one is a lifesaver, especially if you’re rocking a machine that’s not exactly top-of-the-line when it comes to graphics cards. See, gguf is all about loading and using quantized models. What does that even mean, you ask? Basically, it’s like magic for squeezing those beefy models into smaller, more manageable packages. So, if you’ve been dreaming of running those massive models but your VRAM is screaming for mercy, gguf is your knight in shining armor. Seriously, give it a try, it can make a HUGE difference!

comfy_PoP

Speaking of amazing tools, let’s talk about comfy_PoP from picturesonpictures
. “PoP” stands for Pictures on Pictures, and let me tell you, this node pack is POPPIN’ with amazing tools! Seriously, this is a treasure trove of nodes. It’s got so many useful things, you could spend hours just exploring all the possibilities. But if I had to pick just one favorite from this massive collection… it’s gotta be the aspect ratio node. Why? Because aspect ratios can be a pain, right? Trying to get that perfect widescreen or vertical shot can sometimes feel like a guessing game. But with this node, it’s a breeze! Just dial in your desired aspect ratio, and you’re golden. It’s such a simple thing, but it saves me so much time and frustration.

RGThree

And let’s not forget about RGThree by rgthree
. Just like comfy_PoP, RGThree is another powerhouse node pack. This one is packed with nodes that are just incredibly well-thought-out and super useful for streamlining your workflows. And while there are tons of amazing nodes in this pack, my absolute, hands-down favorite is the Power Lora Loader. Okay, let’s be real, who stops at just one or two LoRAs? We all love stacking those LoRAs to get that perfect look, right? But normally, you have to keep adding new Lora Loader nodes for each one. It gets messy, it clutters up your workflow. But the Power Lora Loader? It lets you add as many LoRAs as you want, all within a single node! It’s a game-changer for keeping your workflows clean and organized, especially when you’re experimenting with a bunch of different LoRAs.

. Now, if you’re all about precision and control in your image generation, this node is going to be your new best friend. “Visual Area Conditioning” – what does that even mean in practice?

ComfyUI – FaceRestore Node

Blurry, distorted, just not quite right. That’s where this node swoops in to save the day! It’s all about face restoration, plain and simple. Feed it your image, and it works its magic to clean up and sharpen those faces. If you’re generating portraits, or really any image where faces are important, this node is a total game-changer. It can take those slightly-off faces and make them look crisp and clear. Seriously, for anyone who’s ever been frustrated by wonky AI faces, this node is like a miracle worker.
