What is ComfyUI Download Tools?

ComfyUI Download Tools is a set of custom nodes that allow you to download online media content directly in the ComfyUI workflow. It integrates two powerful download tools: gallery-dl (focused on image download) and yt-dlp (focused on video download), supporting over 1000 websites, including social media platforms, video-sharing websites, and image communities.

How to use Download Tools?

After installing the nodes, you can find two main nodes in the ComfyUI node panel: Gallery-dl Downloader and Yt-dlp Downloader. Simply drag the nodes into the workflow, enter the URL link, configure the download options, and then execute. The downloaded content will be automatically saved to the specified directory and can be used in subsequent nodes.

Use Cases

1. Training data collection: Download image and video datasets for AI model training. 2. Content creation: Obtain reference materials and inspiration sources. 3. Social media analysis: Download media content of specific topics or users in batches. 4. Automated workflow: Integrate the download function into the AI image generation pipeline. 5. Personal media library construction: Organize favorite online content.

Main Features

Gallery-dl Integration
Supports downloading content from over 100 image-sharing websites, including Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, DeviantArt, Pixiv, etc. It supports batch download, user authentication, and automatic file organization.
Yt-dlp Integration
Supports downloading content from over 1000 video platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, etc. It provides multiple quality options, audio extraction, and playlist support.
Browser Cookie Authentication
Automatically uses the login information saved in the browser to access content that requires authentication, without manually configuring the account password. It supports mainstream browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
Smart File Management
Automatically organizes downloaded files by website, user, type, etc., avoiding downloading the same content repeatedly and keeping the media library tidy and organized.
ComfyUI Native Integration
Fully integrated into the ComfyUI interface, collaborating seamlessly with other nodes. The downloaded content can be directly used in subsequent image processing or AI training processes.
Advantages
One-stop solution: No need to switch between multiple tools, complete the download directly in ComfyUI.
Wide platform support: Covers most mainstream social media and content platforms.
Automated authentication: Simplify the login process using browser cookies to access private content.
Seamless workflow integration: The downloaded media can be directly used in subsequent AI processing nodes.
Avoid duplicate downloads: Built-in download record function, saving time and storage space.
Limitations
Dependent on external tools: Additional tools such as FFmpeg need to be installed to use the full functionality.
Platform limitations: Some websites may have anti - crawling mechanisms, and downloading may be restricted.
Authentication complexity: Some websites may require manual configuration of cookie files.
Resource consumption: Downloading a large amount of content in batches may consume more network bandwidth and storage space.
Legal compliance: Users need to ensure that the downloaded content complies with copyright and usage terms.
