ComfyUI Load Images Browse Folder

A ComfyUI custom node that allows you to browse and select a folder, then load and process all images from that folder one at a time through the complete workflow (like VideoHelperSuite's meta-batch processing).

Features

• Folder browsing interface - Select folders through a user-friendly UI
• Automatic meta-batch processing - Each image runs through the entire workflow independently
• One image at a time - Perfect for preventing memory issues and processing images sequentially
• Automatic sorting - Optional alphabetical sorting of images
• Format support - Supports JPG, PNG, BMP, WebP, and TIFF image formats

Installation

1. Clone this repository into your ComfyUI custom_nodes directory:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone <repository-url> comfyui-load-images-browse-folder

2. Restart ComfyUI

Usage

Simply add the "Load Images From Folder (Browse)" node to your workflow:

1. Enter a folder path (or use the browse functionality if available)
2. The node will automatically process one image at a time through your entire workflow
3. If you have 10 images, the workflow will run 10 times (once per image)

How it works differently from regular batch loading:

Traditional batch loading:

• All images load at once → All process through step 1 → All process through step 2 → etc.
• Preview nodes show all images in a grid

This node (meta-batch):

• Image 1: Load → Process completely through workflow → Save
• Image 2: Load → Process completely through workflow → Save
• Image 3: Load → Process completely through workflow → Save
• ...and so on

This is perfect for workflows where you want each image to be processed independently, matching VideoHelperSuite's behavior.

Node Parameters

Load Images From Folder (Browse)

• folder_path (required): Path to the folder containing images
• sort (optional, default: True): Sort images alphabetically

Outputs:

• IMAGE: Currently loaded image (1 image per workflow execution)
• frame_count: Number of images in this batch (always 1)

Example Use Cases

• Sequential img2img processing: Process each source image through the pipeline independently
• Batch upscaling: Upscale images one at a time to avoid memory issues
• Iterative processing: Any workflow where each image needs independent processing
