Int Box

A number box that hands you back exactly the number you typed

Int Box (ETIntBoxNode) from the Info Utils pack is the integer version of the pack's String Box. You type a number into value, and it comes out of text unchanged. Zero processing, zero coercion, zero surprises.

The "text" output name is the pack's running gag - the author reused the same return-name convention across every primitive, so this node's output is named text but carries an INT. It will not slot into a STRING socket, and that's correct behavior: ComfyUI type-checks on connection. Don't let the label confuse you, this is a pure integer source.

Why it exists

Same story as String Box: the official ComfyUI primitive node is a jack-of-all-trades, and sometimes it doesn't play nicely with custom nodes that want a clean INT socket. Int Box is the single-purpose alternative - one input, one output, no extra widget noise. It's in the exectails/Info category, alongside the pack's other input boxes.

How it works

One required input, value (INT, default 0), and one output, text (INT). process passes the integer through untouched:

value (type a number) → text (wire it to any INT socket)

That makes it handy for feeding things like:

• Steps, CFG, seed, or batch size into a KSampler or a loader
• Width/height values into latent or image nodes
• Counts into any custom node that wants an integer widget

It keeps the canvas tidy too - a compact box instead of a primitive with its extra convert toggle.

How to install it

Ships in Info Utils (exectails/comfyui-et_infoutils). No dependencies, no downloads. Install via ComfyUI Manager (search "Info Utils") or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/exectails/comfyui-et_infoutils

Restart ComfyUI and you'll find Int Box under exectails/Info.

The one thing to watch

The default widget is a plain integer field - type "3.5" and it won't take it, and typing letters is right out. If you genuinely need a float, this is not your node; reach for a float input or a primitive instead. And remember the output is INT despite the name, so don't try to wire it into a text box and expect your prompt to read "42". For that, the pack's Text Box or String Box are the ones.
