ComfyUI-Clippy-Reloaded Pastes Clipboard Images Without Saving Files

A huge metallic paperclip shaped like the classic Clippy assistant with a floating clipboard.

The Comfyui-Clippy-Reloaded add-on by Shootthesound lets you paste images directly from your computer’s clipboard into a ComfyUI workflow. It grabs whatever image you’ve copied — a screenshot, a browser image, or one from an editor — and turns it into a usable output without ever saving a file. A single node does all the work when you hit queue, skipping the steps of saving, finding, and dragging files.

Shootthesound who also delivered Comfyui-Wan-I2v-Control and Torch-Nvenc-Compress extracted this tool from a larger node pack where it was hard to find. The developer made it a standalone node, so users can quickly load clipboard content without cluttering their workflow. It solves the repetitive annoyance of saving temporary images just to get them into ComfyUI.

Load images straight from your clipboard

From hidden node to standalone release

The tool was once hidden in a big pack and rarely found. shootthesound tested it on Windows but expects it to work on macOS and Linux via ImageGrab. No roadmap exists, but coffee donations are welcome.
