ComfyUI: Generate and upscale images with Flux Kontext

Demo summary

The creator demonstrates setting up a basic Flux Kontext workflow in ComfyUI, generating a character image, and then using a KSampler-based upscaler to increase resolution.

Step-by-step

  1. Load the fluxdev context model in the Load Diffusion Model node
  2. Configure the Dual Clip Loader with models that fit your video memory
  3. Set the Flux Conditioning to 2.5
  4. Connect a Conditioning Zero Out node to the negative prompt input
  5. Set the CFG to 1 to ignore the negative prompt
  6. Set the steps to 20 and choose a fixed seed for easier upscaling
  7. Run the workflow to generate the initial image
  8. Toggle the Fast Group Mutter node to enable the upscaler
  9. Adjust the Denoise values in the second KSampler to control how much the upscale differs from the original

Options

  • Use smaller clip models for lower-end video cards
  • Experiment with the step count settings
  • Delete or bypass the Clean Video RAM node if not needed
  • Use a random seed if you do not plan to upscale

Watch out for

  • CFG must be set to 1 because negative prompts are not supported
  • Upscaling to a larger size requires significantly more video memory
  • The first run is always slower due to model loading
  • The upscaler can sometimes produce a pixelated look, especially when editing an image

Tips

  • Use a fixed seed to ensure the upscaler works on the specific image you just generated
  • A Flux conditioning value of 2.5 is recommended over the usual 3.5
  • If you don't like the upscale result, run it again to get a new version
  • Change the first KSampler seed only when you want a completely new original image

Highlights

It's pretty easy to use, but it needs more video memory to upscale to a larger size.
