# ComfyUI-MaxedOut
Custom ComfyUI nodes I use in my own Maxed Out workflows (SDXL, Flux, WAN 2.2, and more).
## Mission
My main goal is to make existing nodes easier to use in the day-to-day especially for my own workflows.
## Overview
- Cleaner UX on frequently used nodes.
- Time-saving presets for common resolutions.
- Image/Video Comparer nodes with easy save.
- Advanced Wan 2.2 nodes for my Patreon exclusive workflows.
- Optional animated sampler previews in a dockable panel.
## Install
ComfyUI Manager (Recommended):
Open Manager (top-right in ComfyUI), search `Maxed Out`, install, then restart ComfyUI.
Manually:
```powershell
cd ComfyUI\custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Maxed-Out-99/ComfyUI-MaxedOut.git
```
Restart ComfyUI after install.
## Model Storage Auto-Registration
If you keep models outside `ComfyUI/models` (e.g. on another drive), point MaxedOut at that folder and every subfolder inside it (`loras`, `checkpoints`, `vae`, ...) gets auto-registered with ComfyUI at startup, just like `ComfyUI/models/`. No `extra_model_paths.yaml` edits needed, and any new subfolder you add just works after a restart.
Set it any one of these ways:
- **ComfyUI Settings panel** (easiest): Settings → `MXD` → `Model Storage` → set *Root Folder*, then restart ComfyUI.
- **Config file**: copy `model_storage_config.json.example` to `model_storage_config.json` in this repo's folder and set `model_storage_root`. This file is gitignored, so it's yours to keep.
- **Environment variable**: set `MAXEDOUT_MODEL_STORAGE` to the folder path before launching ComfyUI.
Leave all three unset and nothing changes -- this is entirely opt-in.
## Live Sampling Previews
MaxedOut can animate image and video latents while any KSampler-family node is
running, then keep the finished preview in a docked panel. This is opt-in:
open ComfyUI Settings → `MXD` → `Sampling` and enable **Display animated
previews when sampling**. It is off by default, so installing MaxedOut adds no
preview decoding or saving overhead until you enable it.
LTX 2.3 is supported through the tiny taeltx decoder. The model is downloaded
to the configured VAE folder only when the feature is enabled and an LTX 2.3
preview actually needs it.
## Featured Nodes
| Node | What it does |
|---|---|
| `Lora Loader MXD` | Based on rgthree Power LoRA Loader. Fixes copy/paste issues, surfaces useful info/remove buttons, and keeps local LoRA info files organized. |
| `Image Comparer MXD` | Compare original vs new images in-node and save the new result easily. |
| `Video Comparer MXD` | Similar to Image Comparer but for video. |
| `Flux Empty Latent Image MXD` / `ZIT Empty Latent Image MXD` / `SDXL Empty Latent Image MXD` | Resolution presets plus vertical toggle to avoid retyping the same sizes repeatedly. |
| `Save Image MXD` | Simple save modes (`Save + Preview`, `Save Only`, `Preview Only`). |
| `WAN 2.2 MXD` nodes | Helpers for WAN 2.2 latent/video prep, frame tools, and I2V-focused workflows. |
| `Krea 2 Edit MXD` / `Krea2 Edit MXD` | Krea 2 source-preservation and grounded prompt encoding. No separate custom-node pack is required; model weights are still downloaded separately. |
| Prompt spellcheck | Right-click a misspelled word in any prompt box for suggestions. Works offline, no node to add. |
## Companion Packs
Some things that used to live in here now ship separately, so you can install
only what you want. Nothing below is required.
| Pack | What it is |
|---|---|
| [Prompt-Library-MXD](https://github.com/Maxed-Out-99/Prompt-Library-MXD) | Save named prompt snippets by category and pull them in by name, or let a wildcard pick one at random. |
| [Spell-Check-MXD](https://github.com/Maxed-Out-99/Spell-Check-MXD) | The prompt spellchecker on its own, if you don't want the rest of this pack. Safe to install alongside — it won't double up. |
| [Smart-Model-Loaders-MXD](https://github.com/Maxed-Out-99/Smart-Model-Loaders-MXD) | Loader nodes that accept safetensors or GGUF in the same slot. Only needed if you actually use GGUF quants. |
