ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI Civitai Gallery

ComfyUI_Civitai_Gallery Introduction

The ComfyUI Civitai Gallery is a specialized extension designed to enhance your creative workflow by integrating a seamless image browsing experience from the Civitai website directly into ComfyUI. This extension allows you to effortlessly browse, search, and select images from Civitai, and instantly import their associated prompts, negative prompts, and high-resolution images into your workflow. By eliminating the need to switch between your browser and ComfyUI, this tool significantly speeds up your creative process, making it an invaluable asset for AI artists looking to streamline their work.

This is achieved through a custom node that you add to your ComfyUI workspace, which then provides a user-friendly interface for browsing and selecting images. The extension intelligently manages data, ensuring that only necessary information is downloaded, thus saving bandwidth and time.
