ONE MODEL. MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Imagine it.
Then make it yours.

Generation and editing, brought together.
Here’s what the public previews and technical
documentation tell us so far.

Start with an idea.

Turn a text prompt into a new image. Explore a range of styles, compositions and visual details.

Pipeline documentation
02 / REFINE

Keep what matters.

Use one or several reference images to guide an edit. Change the scene, revisit a character, or try a new direction.

Image conditioning
03 / COMMUNICATE

Let the image speak.

Early examples explore dense infographics, menus and posters. The Comfy preview lists native 2K and alpha-channel support.
