+
+## 🔍 Description
+
+**Load Image from HTTP URL** is a lightweight but powerful custom node for ComfyUI that allows you to **fetch images directly from a remote URL** and use them in your workflows without manual uploads or preprocessing.
+
+Instead of uploading an image file manually, you can pass a publicly accessible image URL — and the node will handle downloading, decoding, and converting it into an image tensor compatible with ComfyUI.
+
+This is especially useful when you're:
+- ⚙️ Building **ComfyUI as an API service**
+- 📡 Receiving image URLs from client apps, webhooks, or JSON payloads
+- 🌐 Working with **dynamic content** from external APIs or cloud storage
+
+By skipping the file transfer step, you reduce friction, improve performance, and make your workflows more automation-friendly.
+
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- 📡 Downloads an image from an HTTP/HTTPS URL
+- 📷 Converts it to a proper image tensor (`IMAGE`) for ComfyUI
+- 🧼 Includes graceful fallback (returns a blank black image on error)
+- ✅ Supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, etc. (any format supported by Pillow)
+
+---
+
+## 🧩 Node Info
+
+- **Name:** `Load Image from HTTP URL`
+- **Class:** `LoadImageFromHttpURL`
+- **Category:** `jerrywap/loaders`
+- **Input:**
+  - `image_url` (STRING): Image address (e.g. https://placehold.co/400)
+- **Output:**
+  - `IMAGE`: ComfyUI image tensor
+
+---
+
+
+## 🔧 Installation
+
+1. Clone this repo into your `ComfyUI/custom_nodes` directory:
+
+```
+cd /workspace/ComfyUI/custom_nodes
+git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ComfyUI_LoadImageFromHttpURL.git
+cd ComfyUI_LoadImageFromHttpURL
+```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+
+This node requires the following Python packages:
+
+- `requests`
+- `Pillow`
+- `numpy`
+- `torch`
+
+If you're not sure whether you have them installed, you can simply run:
+
+```
+bash install.sh
+```
+
+Or, alternatively:
+
+```
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+> ✅ **Note:** If you already have these packages installed (e.g., through your ComfyUI or Python environment), you **do not need to run** the installation steps.
+
+3. Restart ComfyUI or click the **Reload Custom Nodes** button in the UI (if available).
+
+---
+
+## 📤 Example Usage
+
+Use this node to pull images from:
+- Web apps or APIs
+- Unsplash/image hosting services
+- Placeholder tools
+
+Example input:
+```
+https://placehold.co/400
+```
