Node-based workflow editor
Build workflows on an infinite canvas where models, parameters, processing steps, and outputs stay visible and adjustable.
Comfy
Comfy is a visual AI workflow platform for building, inspecting, and running node-based generation pipelines. It spans desktop, cloud, and API offerings for individuals and teams that need more control than prompt-only tools provide.
Professional control for visual AI workflows
Comfy is an AI creation engine built around ComfyUI, a node-based workflow system for visual work. It is designed for people who want control over the full generation pipeline, from model choice and parameters to how outputs are produced and reused.
The product is available as Comfy Desktop for local, offline use on your own hardware, Comfy Cloud for browser-based workflows on hosted GPUs, and Comfy API for turning workflows into production endpoints. The site positions it for visual professionals, teams, and studios that need inspectable workflows rather than a prompt-only tool.
Core features
App Mode and graph view
Use App Mode for a simpler view of a workflow, then switch back to the full node graph when you need deeper control.
Community workflow library
Start from thousands of community workflows and templates, then remix them instead of building every pipeline from scratch.
Desktop, cloud, and API deployment
Run Comfy on your own hardware, in the cloud, or through API endpoints for production automation.
Extensible model and node support
Add support for third-party models and community extensions, including custom LoRAs, partner nodes, and supported custom nodes.
Credit-based cloud usage
Use cloud credits for active GPU time only, with queueing and concurrent jobs available on higher plans.
Ways teams use Comfy
Controlled content generation
Generate images, video, or 3D with more control than prompt-only tools, while still keeping the workflow editable and inspectable.
Local-to-cloud production
Work locally on a machine with your own models and data, then keep the same workflow when you need more compute in the cloud.
Team workflow sharing
Share an App Mode workflow with teammates so they can run it without configuring the full node graph themselves.
Production automation
Turn a repeatable workflow into an API endpoint for automated generation and system integration.
Workflow customization
Use community templates, custom LoRAs, and supported extensions to adapt a workflow to a specific visual style or pipeline.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Workflow steps stay visible and editable on an infinite canvas, which makes the generation process easier to inspect and adjust.
- The same workflows can move between Desktop and Cloud, reducing rework when switching between local and hosted execution.
- Desktop runs offline after setup, which gives users local control over their models, data, and outputs.
- Cloud includes pre-loaded models, pre-installed custom nodes, and browser access, lowering setup overhead for new teams.
- API access lets teams deploy workflows as production endpoints instead of treating Comfy only as a design tool.
Cons
- Cloud support does not cover every custom node or extension yet; the site says only the most popular ones are available for now.
- Local use is best with a dedicated GPU, so the desktop version is less suitable for users without the hardware to run larger models comfortably.
FAQ
What is Comfy Cloud?
Comfy Cloud is the hosted version of ComfyUI. It runs in the browser on cloud GPUs, so you can start creating without setting up local hardware.
Can I use my Desktop workflows in Comfy Cloud?
Yes. The site says workflows work across Desktop and Cloud, with the same file and no conversion or rework required.
Do I need a GPU to use Comfy locally?
Comfy Desktop runs on your own hardware and can work offline after setup. The FAQ also says a dedicated GPU is strongly recommended for local use.
How does pricing work for Comfy Cloud?
Comfy Cloud uses a credit-based subscription. The pricing page lists Standard, Creator, and Pro plans, and credits are consumed while workflows run rather than while you are editing them.
Are all ComfyUI extensions and custom nodes supported in Comfy Cloud?
Not all custom nodes are supported yet in Comfy Cloud. The site says the most popular custom nodes are available and support is expanding over time.
