Run ComfyUI on Runpod

Choose a template, enable the models you need, and open your workspace.

All guides

Run ComfyUI on a rented GPU. Choose a HearmemanAI template, select your models and deploy.

Choose a template

Open a template and click Deploy on Runpod. Check the selected template before continuing.

Pick a GPU

Match the GPU's VRAM to your workflow, resolution and model precision. Check the template's requirements and rental price before deploying.

Enable your models before deployment

  1. Click Edit Template before deploying.
  2. Expand the environment variables section.
  3. Set the model families you need from false to true. MiniMax H3 and LTX 2.3 are already enabled. Leave unused families off.
  4. Save the template settings and deploy. First boot downloads the models you enabled, so give the downloads time to finish.
  5. Open ComfyUI on port 8188. JupyterLab is available on 8888 when you need access to files.

Download only what you need

Enabled models download directly to the pod. More models mean longer startup times and more disk space.

Open the workflow

Look in ComfyUI's workflows menu for the workflows bundled with your template. To import a separate file, follow Load a workflow JSON.

For a CivitAI LoRA or checkpoint that is not covered by a model flag, use the template's supported downloader. See Download CivitAI models at boot.

Finish your session

Save your outputs and stop the pod when you finish. Storage charges may continue separately.

If the workspace does not open, use Troubleshoot a Runpod workspace.
