ComfyUITry it →Watch full video →Artificial Images ·

Demo summary

The user shows the specific folder structure in ComfyUI (models/checkpoints) and demonstrates uploading a .safetensors file from a local computer to the RunComfy server.

Step-by-step

  1. Click the arrow icon to expand the workspace
  2. Navigate to the 'comfyUI' folder
  3. Open the 'models' directory
  4. Double-click into the 'checkpoints' folder
  5. Click the kebab menu icon in the top right
  6. Select 'Upload' and then 'Upload a file'
  7. Choose the .safetensors file from your local computer and click 'Open'

Options

  • Upload LoRA models to the 'loras' folder
  • Upload AnimateDiff models to the 'animatediff' folder

Watch out for

  • You must put the model in the correct specific sub-folder (e.g., checkpoints, loras) for it to function
