    ComfyUI-CaptionThis

    English | 简体中文

    ComfyUI-CaptionThis is a flexible tool for generating image captions, supporting several powerful captioning models such as Janus Pro and Florence2, with plans to integrate more models like JoyCaption and other future developments. This tool aims to simplify workflows for image-to-image tasks and LoRA dataset preparation or similar fine-tuning processes, providing an intuitive way to describe individual images or batch process entire directories.

    Important Updates

    • 2025/02/16: Added support for the Florence2 model.
    • 2025/02/15: Added support for the Janus Pro model.

    Workflow

    A ShowText or DisplayText node is required to display the results of command execution. However, ComfyUI currently does not provide a native node for this purpose. In my example, I used the self-implemented MieNodes (GitHub Repo), which I highly recommend. It’s easy to install, has no dependencies, and includes many caption-related file operation nodes.

    Generate Captions for All Images in a Directory Using Janus Pro

    Before: JanusPro_Caption_Whole_Directory_2

    After: JanusPro_Caption_Whole_Directory_3

    Generate Captions for All Images in a Directory Using Florence2

    Florence2_Caption_Whole_Directory_1

    The process is the same as Janus Pro.

    Installation

    Install via ComfyUI Manager (Recommended)

    1. Install ComfyUI-Manager.
    2. Search for "CaptionThis" in the manager.
    3. Click Install.

    Model Download

    Currently, all models are downloaded directly from HuggingFace (or via hf_mirror if you specify the environment variable HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com). Alternatively, you can manually download the models and place them in the directories outlined below.

    Janus Pro

    • Download the models:
    • Place the models in the directory ComfyUI/models/Janus-Pro/ as follows: 
      ComfyUI/models/Janus-Pro/Janus-Pro-1B/
ComfyUI/models/Janus-Pro/Janus-Pro-7B/

    Florence2

    Features

    1. Single Image Description Generate detailed captions for an individual image using your chosen model. Users can upload an image and optionally provide specific prompts or guiding questions to enrich the output.

    2. Batch Caption Generation Automatically generate captions for multiple images within a specified directory. Each image will have its corresponding description saved as a .txt file, streamlining the process of dataset preparation.

    3. Multi-Model Support The system is designed to support multiple captioning models, giving users the flexibility to choose based on their specific tasks. Currently, the tool supports Janus Pro and Florence2, with plans for future updates to include additional models and expand functionality further.

    Coming Soon

    • Integration of new models (e.g., JoyCaption) to further enhance the tool’s capabilities and support a broader range of use cases.
    • Advanced configuration options to fine-tune caption outputs and tailor them to user-specific requirements.

    Credits

    Special thanks go to:

    • DeepSeek-AI for providing the robust Janus Pro model.
    • CY-CHENYUE and kijai for their practical implementations of Janus Pro and Florence2 in respective plugins, which served as key references and inspiration for integrating these models into this project.

    Building upon these contributions, this project introduces a refined multi-model architecture, empowering users to select the most appropriate model based on their specific needs.
