# ComfyUI-Runware
Every Runware model as a ComfyUI node: image, video, audio, 3D, and text. The
whole catalog stays current as new models launch, and each node's parameters
match the live model exactly.
Every Runware model as a ComfyUI node: image, video, audio, 3D, and text, all
running in the cloud. No local GPU and no per-model setup. The whole catalog
shows up in your node menu, and each node's widgets are the model's real parameters.
**Full guide: https://runware.ai/docs/platform/comfyui**
## Install
**ComfyUI Manager** (recommended): search **Runware** and install.

Create a key in the [dashboard](https://runware.ai/api-keys), then provide it one of these ways:
- **ComfyUI Settings → Runware API key**: paste your key in the UI, no terminal needed.
- **`RUNWARE_API_KEY`** in the environment ComfyUI runs in.
- **[Runware CLI](https://runware.ai/docs/platform/cli)**: run `runware auth login`

## Use
## Quick start
Search the node menu for **Runware**. One node per model, grouped
`Runware/<Modality>/<creator>`. Set the parameters, wire the output, and queue:
1. Double-click the canvas and search a model by name (e.g. `FLUX.2 [dev]`), or browse `Runware/Image`.
2. Type your `positivePrompt` and set the dimensions.
3. Wire the node's **IMAGE** output into **Preview Image** or **Save Image**.
4. Queue. The request runs on Runware and comes back as a native `IMAGE`.
- **Image** models output a native ComfyUI IMAGE.
- **Audio / video** models output native ComfyUI AUDIO / VIDEO (chain them straight
into preview or save nodes); **3D** and other files download to your output folder
and return a path.
- **Reference / seed images** are IMAGE inputs and **inpainting masks** are MASK
inputs; audio/video inputs take a URL or path.
- **Builder nodes keep model nodes clean** (`Runware/Params`). Stackable features
live in their own nodes instead of crowding every model node: `LoRA`, `ControlNet`,
`IP-Adapter`, `Embeddings`, `Refiner`, feature blocks (`PuLID`, `PhotoMaker`,
`Watermark`, `Ultralytics`, `Accelerator Options`), and reference inputs. Each feature
is a distinct socket type, so you wire a builder into the model's matching typed socket
(`lora`, `controlNet`, ...) and chain the stackable ones to combine them. The model node
only shows the features a generation actually uses.
- **Builders scope themselves to the model they wire into.** LoRA, Embeddings, and Refiner
have an editable **model** field plus a **search catalog** button that opens a live
catalog search to fill the AIR. ControlNet and IP-Adapter instead scope their **model**
field to the model/architecture node they reach (through any builders in between): it
becomes a dropdown of exactly the models that node accepts, or a free AIR field until it
reaches one. The Speech, reference, Accelerator Options, and Outpaint builders scope
their **fields** the same way: each shows only what that model supports and hides the
rest (Speech's `voice`/`language` become that model's own lists, Accelerator Options
shows only its caching strategies, Outpaint drops `blur` where unsupported).
- **Model-specific config flattens onto the model node** as dotted fields under a
**Settings** section: `safety.checkContent`, `providerSettings.google.webSearch`
(only your model's provider is shown).
- **Widgets are grouped into sections** (inputs, core, settings, output). Where a model
has no fixed default for a setting, the node leaves it to the model rather than guess:
a number like `steps` or `CFGScale` shows a **set** toggle that reveals its field only
when you opt in, and a dropdown like `scheduler` carries a `(default)` option. Leave
these to use the model's own default, or set them to take control. Dimensions and
`seed` always show a value. A cohesive settings group reveals behind one toggle too:
`safety`, `toolChoice`, and `advancedFeatures` each hide their fields (e.g.
`safety.checkContent` / `safety.mode`) until you enable the group.
- Niche per-model params (and anything not auto-typed) go into the raw
`advanced_json` input.
- **Runware Upload Image** / **Runware Load Image (URL)**: upload an image once for
a reusable UUID, or pull any image URL (including a Runware result) into the graph
as an IMAGE.
- After a run, each model, architecture, and custom node shows its cost and, when the
model ran a content check, the NSFW result along its title bar (e.g. `$0.00078 · NSFW: no`).
- **Runware (custom)**: a generic node for any model AIR + taskType, for models
newer than your installed version. It makes no assumption about modality: you give
it the request as JSON (`request_json`) and it returns the raw response as
`result_json`. Feed media in as UUIDs/URLs (see **Runware Upload Image**).
- **Runware Get**: pulls a field out of a `result_json` by dot-path (e.g.
`0.imageURL`, `0.videoURL`, `0.outputs.files.0.url`; leave it empty to grab the
first URL). The `STRING` it outputs goes to **Runware Load Image (URL)** to preview
an image, or to a Save/Preview node for any other result.
## What's in the pack
Browse models and get an API key at [runware.ai](https://runware.ai/docs).
- **One node per model**, grouped `Runware/<Modality>/<creator>`. Widgets are the model's real parameters, with correct ranges, defaults, and dropdowns.
- **Native outputs**: image, upscale, and background-removal return `IMAGE`; audio returns `AUDIO`; video returns `VIDEO`; 3D and other files save to your output folder and return a path; text returns a string.
- **Native inputs**: reference and seed images are `IMAGE`, inpainting masks are `MASK`; audio, video, and document inputs take a URL, path, or UUID.
- **Builder nodes** (`Runware/Params`) keep model nodes clean. Stackable features (LoRA, ControlNet, IP-Adapter, Embeddings, and more) each wire into a model's typed socket, and you chain the stackable ones to combine them.
- **Custom checkpoints**: `Runware/Custom models` has a node per architecture (SDXL, SD 1.5, FLUX, Pony, and more) for community fine-tunes.
- **New models, day one**: `Runware (custom)` takes any model AIR and `taskType` as JSON and returns raw JSON. Pair it with `Runware Get` to pull a field out of the response (e.g. `0.imageURL`).
- **Run info** on the title bar: each run shows its cost and, when a content check ran, the NSFW result (e.g. `$0.00078 · NSFW: no`).
