Meux Mask Blur+
The feathered mask node that plays nice with old workflows
- mask
- MASK
Mask blurring sounds trivial until you need it - soft edges on an inpaint mask, a feathered blend region, a smooth falloff instead of a hard line. ComfyUI's own masking nodes don't make it one click. This one does: MeuxMaskBlurPlus is a three-input gaussian blur for masks, the sort of node you drop into a workflow and never think about again.
It also carries a compatibility alias. This class is registered as both MeuxMaskBlurPlus and MaskBlur+, matching the name ComfyUI Essentials uses for the same job - so a shared workflow that references MaskBlur+ loads with this pack quietly satisfying it. Same story as Seed and Mask Fill Holes elsewhere in the pack: they're not just utilities, they're compatibility shims for workflows that expect the classic node names.
How it works
It runs a gaussian blur on the mask tensor via torchvision. Two details are worth knowing: the amount gets bumped up to the next odd number internally (blur kernels need odd sizes), and device lets you force CPU or GPU - auto picks whatever ComfyUI thinks is right.
Inputs:
mask- the MASK you want to feather.amount- blur radius, 0 to 256. 0 passes the mask through untouched.device-auto,cpu, orgpu.
Output: a single MASK, same shape as the input, blurred.
Installing it
Same pack as the rest:
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/fchangjun/Comfyui_MultiSaveImage
cd Comfyui_MultiSaveImage
pip install -r requirements.txt
Or search "Baidu Meux ComfyTools" in ComfyUI Manager, then restart.
Where people get burned
- Nothing appears to happen.
amountof 0 is a passthrough - if your blur is invisible, you're at 0, not broken. - Heavy blur on a big mask. Large amounts on high-res masks are the one place this gets slow;
device = gpuusually fixes it. - Expecting a community behind it. Honest note: this is an internal-tools pack from Baidu's Meux asset platform, and there's basically no Reddit chatter about it. You're using it because a workflow you downloaded references
MaskBlur+, or because you want the utility - not because anyone's raving about it.
If you just need a feathered mask in ten seconds, this is the node. It won't blow your mind, and it doesn't have to.
