👀 SS Image Uploader by SamSeen

This is the simplest node in SSParallaxX, and honestly it reads as "why does this exist?" at first glance. It's a Load Image with two extras: a max-resolution cap and a one-click upload button. Pick an image that's already in your ComfyUI/input folder (or hit Upload and drop one in), set max_width/max_height, and out comes a resized IMAGE tensor ready for the parallax node.

Why reach for it instead of the built-in Load Image? Because the parallax generator is pure-Python slow and memory-hungry, so controlling resolution at the front of the pipeline matters more here than almost anywhere. Dropping a 2K render to 512 before it hits the depth model and the frame loop is the difference between a quick test and a coffee break.

How it works

No AI, no downloads, no depth model. It lists png/jpg/jpeg/webp/bmp files in your input directory, and a small bundled web extension adds the Upload button, which POSTs the file to ComfyUI's built-in /upload/image endpoint and refreshes the dropdown for you. Resizing preserves aspect ratio: max_width 512 keeps the height proportional, and max_height 0 means "auto" so only one dimension constrains. Set both to 0 and it passes the image through untouched. The resize is Lanczos, so you're not giving up quality on the way in.

Inputs and output

• image: dropdown of files in input/ - pick one, or use the Upload button to add it.
• max_width (default 512, up to 4096) and max_height (default 0 = auto): your caps.
• Output: a single IMAGE tensor [1,H,W,3], straight into Parallax_Generator_by_SamSeen's base_image (or anywhere else an IMAGE goes).

Two small traps. If the input folder is empty you get a "none" entry and the node returns a blank 512×512 tensor instead of erroring - a silent no-op if you forget to actually load something. And it's strictly one image at a time; no batches, so this is a single-input convenience node, not a bulk tool.

Install

Same pack, same steps as the rest of SSParallaxX - ComfyUI Manager → search "SSParallaxX", or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/MrSamSeen/SSParallaxX.git
cd SSParallaxX
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then restart and look under "👀 SamSeen". The pack-wide caveat applies here too: the author migrated the repo to SamSeenX in late 2025 and main is currently stripped of code, so if a fresh clone comes back empty, pin an older commit or install via Manager. For this node specifically there's nothing heavy to download - no models, no ffmpeg - so it's the easiest piece of the pack to get running.
