📦 Requirements

  • ComfyUI (latest stable)
  • Python 3.8+
  • PyTorch (as provided by ComfyUI)
  • Pillow (PIL) with image format support (provided by ComfyUI)

Note on WebP support: WebP thumbnail generation requires Pillow to be compiled with libwebp support. If WebP processing fails, the system will gracefully fall back to serving the original WebP image directly. Most modern Pillow installations include WebP support by default.
