IF Prompt Maker🎨

IF Prompt Maker is the node that put the IF_AI pack on the map. Back in spring 2024, the author (Impact Frames) released it alongside a custom-trained llama3_ifai_sd_prompt_mkr_q4km Ollama model, and r/comfyui took notice - the announcement post pulled over a hundred upvotes. The pitch was simple and it still holds: give it an image, it returns a detailed, Stable Diffusion-flavored prompt you can drop straight into a sampler.

In the current build it's effectively the same node as IF Image to Prompt - identical input schema, same outputs. The difference is mostly historical: this is the original that the pack grew around, and the name tells you what it was built for. If you're wondering which to grab, there's no wrong choice; they're twins in this codebase.

How it works

The mechanism is a vision-LLM prompt-reversal pipeline. Your images get encoded for the provider, sent with a system prompt chosen from profiles (the dropdown reads JSON from the pack's IF_AI/presets folder - IF_PromptMKR, IF_PromptMKR_multy, IF_Omost, and more, all editable), and the model returns a prompt in response. Then the preset stacks glue on: embellish_prompt (29 options), style_prompt (63), and neg_prompt (24) modify and extend the raw output, and negative comes out as its own output for the negative conditioning side.

The strategy input mirrors the pack: normal describes the image; omost produces Omost-style canvas conditioning via the omost_tool; create/edit/variations kick off image generation through the OpenAI-compatible API. batch_count controls how many images that generates.

The inputs that matter

• images - the reference image. The whole job.
• llm_provider / llm_model - ollama plus a vision model (the author's own impactframes/llama3_ifai_sd_prompt_mkr_q4km and impactframes/ifai_promptmkr_dolphin_phi3 are designed for this) or any cloud provider with a key.
• user_prompt - extra direction, like "focus on the lighting."
• profiles - which prompt-writing persona does the work.

Outputs: question, response (wire into CLIP Text Encode), negative, omni (omost payload), generated_images, mask.

Installation

ComfyUI Manager, search "IF_AI_tools", or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/if-ai/ComfyUI-IF_AI_tools.git

Then install requirements and pull the prompt-maker model if you want the author's tuned behavior:

pip install -r requirements.txt
ollama run impactframes/llama3_ifai_sd_prompt_mkr_q4km:latest

Gotchas

Two things to know. First, a fair chunk of the community argued the tuned model was trained on old Lexica keyword dumps - "4k uhd" era SD1.4 mush - and that plain llama3 gets you most of the way. Try both; your taste is the tiebreaker. Second, the pack is archived and prompt generation is moving to the ComfyUI-IF_AI_PromptImaGen repo, which explicitly requires disabling this pack first. If you're setting up fresh in 2026, that successor is the forward-looking option - but IF Prompt Maker still works, and for a lot of people it's still the one they reach for.
