ComfyUI Workflow Import Guide: Easily Use and Learn from Others' Workflows
The power of ComfyUI lies in its modular workflow design. Beyond creating your own node workflows, importing workflows shared by others is an efficient way to learn and use the tool. This guide details several simple and easy-to-understand import methods.
Preparation: Obtain Workflow Files
Before you begin, download your preferred workflow files (typically in JSON format) from community platforms or sharing websites. Save them locally, and you're ready to start the import process.
Method 1: Drag-and-Drop Import (Simplest and Most Direct)
This is the quickest import method:
- Open the ComfyUI interface
- Locate your downloaded workflow file (e.g., "basic_lora.json")
- Drag the file directly into the ComfyUI canvas area
- The system will automatically load and display the entire workflow
Method 2: Import Using the Workspace Plugin
If you prefer menu operations:
- Click the square button in the upper left corner to open the Workspace plugin
- Select "Import Workflows" under the "Import" menu
- Locate your workflow file in the file selection window
- Click "Open" to import
Method 3: Import via the Load Button
Another convenient method:
- Check the right-side menu bar
- Click the "Load" button
- Select your desired workflow file from the pop-up window
All three methods achieve the same result—choose based on your personal preference.
Post-Import Checks and Usage
After successfully importing a workflow, first check node completeness:
- Green nodes: All components are ready; you can use them directly
- Red nodes: Necessary custom nodes are missing; install the required components first
Once you confirm node integrity, simply:
- Select the required base model (e.g., SDXL or 1.5)
- Add fine-tuned models like LoRA as needed
- Enter your prompts
- Adjust relevant parameter settings
- Click "Add Prompt Queue" to generate images
Learning Value Exceeds Direct Usage
While directly using others' workflows can help you generate images quickly, we recommend treating them as learning tools:
- Learn node connection logic: Observe how experts organize workflows
- Understand parameter settings: See which parameter configurations correspond to different effects
- Experiment with modifications: Adjust nodes and parameters based on the original workflow
By analyzing and modifying others' workflows, you can master ComfyUI techniques faster and ultimately create workflows that meet your own needs.
Remember, importing workflows is just the starting point. The real value lies in understanding and improving these workflows, turning them into your own creative tools.
