Tips
- Subfolders: Use
/or\infilename_prefixto save to subdirectories (e.g., "batch1/output") - Quality Settings:
- JPEG: 90-100 for high quality, 75-85 for web use, 50-70 for small file size
- WebP: Similar to JPEG but generally produces smaller files at equivalent quality
- Transparency: Use PNG or WebP if you need to preserve alpha channel
- Maximum Compatibility: Use JPEG for broadest compatibility with other software
Compatibility
- ComfyUI: Latest version (tested with 2024 builds)
- Python: 3.10+
- Pillow: >= 9.0.0
