Load Image Pixaroma

The stock ComfyUI Load Image is fine until the image you're loading isn't the size your model wants - and then you're adding a Get Image Size node and an Image Scale node, which spawns a mask problem, and suddenly three nodes exist to fix what one loader should have handled. Load Image Pixaroma is a drop-in replacement for the native node that absorbs most of that chain: it loads like the original (upload, drag-drop, Ctrl+V paste, multi-frame, alpha-to-mask), then resizes inline with real controls. The author introduced it in one of the pack's r/comfyui update posts as a direct answer to the resize-chain pain, and it's the single most likely Pixaroma node to quietly become your default loader.

How it works

Nothing exotic under the hood - it's a loader with a resizer bolted on, both in the browser and in the node's execute step. The part people actually use is the resize suite on the node:

• Off - load as-is.
• Max megapixels - cap the total pixel count.
• Longest side - force the long edge to a value.
• Scale by × - a plain multiplier.
• Fit inside - scale down to fit a box, keeping aspect.
• Crop to fill - scale to fill a box exactly, cropping overflow.
• Match aspect ratio - with Crop or Pad sub-options (12 ratio presets plus custom, with a color picker for the pad color).

On top of that: snap to a multiple of 8/16/32/64 (models are happier with clean multiples - see the resolution guidance in the KB), a resample picker (Auto/Nearest/Bilinear/Bicubic/Lanczos), and an Allow upscaling toggle so a small reference doesn't get silently blown up. Numeric fields accept math (1024+64, 512*2) and arrow keys with Shift for 10× stepping, and a live Input → Output bar shows the exact dimensions the workflow will produce as you tweak.

Outputs

• image - the loaded image, post-resize.
• mask - from the alpha channel (blank if there is none).
• width / height - post-resize, so you can feed an empty latent directly.
• filename - no extension. Wire it into a save node to keep the original name.
• original_width / original_height - what the file was before you touched it.

That's the whole pitch: WIDTH/HEIGHT/FILENAME come out of the loader, so the Get Image Size + Image Scale chains disappear from most workflows.

Install

Part of the Pixaroma pack:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/pixaroma/ComfyUI-Pixaroma

or ComfyUI Manager → search Pixaroma → install, restart. No required dependencies beyond ComfyUI's own. Works in both the classic and the new node interface, and it's a true swap-in - same file handling as native, so existing habits carry over. Usual update rule: visuals look stale, hard-refresh the browser with Ctrl+Shift+R before filing a bug.
