ComfyUI: High-fidelity upscaling with SeedVR2

ComfyUI Try it →Watch full video →pixaroma · Feb 2026

Demo summary

The video shows the setup and execution of the SeedVR2 node pack, demonstrating how to select specific models and adjust resolution for sharp, consistent upscaling results.

Step-by-step

Open the fifth workflow using SeedVR2 nodes.
Load the image you want to upscale into the workflow.
Select a model from the dropdown list in the SeedVR2 model loader node.
Set the desired size for the shortest edge in the resolution field.
Run the workflow to download the model and execute the upscale.
Save and compare the output image to the original.

Options

Download models manually and place them in the SeedVR2 folder if auto-download fails.
Adjust 'blocks to swap' in node info to use less VRAM at the cost of speed.
Enable 'sage attention' in the node settings.
Use the penguin icons to unload models from memory to free up VRAM.

Watch out for

The model will automatically download on the first use, which may take time.
High resolutions or large models can cause a VRAM crash/error.
The process can be slow depending on the specific model and target size selected.

Tips

Select a model size based on your available VRAM; refer to the included note for model sizes.
Use multiples of 16 for the resolution setting to achieve better results.
Try a 2x upscale first, as it may look better than higher multipliers like 3x.
Stick to default settings for most use cases unless you need to troubleshoot memory issues.

Highlights

“the workflow is quite simple”
