Nolbert82 Integrates Photopea Editor With New ComfyUI-Photopea-tab

ComfyUI-Photopea-tab brings a web-based image editor directly into the ComfyUI workspace through a new sidebar extension. The tool embeds Photopea into the main interface, allowing creators to move images between the AI generator and the editor without switching browser tabs.

Developed by nolbert82, this addition removes the friction that typically exists between local AI generation and manual retouching. Artists running complex node pipelines can now adjust outputs or layer assets inside the same window where their workflows execute.

Core features and editing workflow

• Transfer images directly from ComfyUI nodes into the embedded editor with one click.
• Send modified results back to the active pipeline without manual file exports.
• Extract individual image layers or resize them to match existing node inputs.
• Toggle fullscreen mode, adjust page width, and disable on-screen advertisements.

Users managing automated rendering sequences can reduce context switching by keeping their generation graphs and editing canvas side by side. This setup streamlines routine cleanup tasks like alpha masking or color correction, which normally interrupt automated node execution.

Practical considerations for local setups

The extension runs as a version 1.1.0 release and focuses on establishing a stable connection rather than adding heavy background processes. Because the interface loads a third-party web application, an active internet connection remains necessary during editing sessions.

Installation simply requires placing the node files into the custom extensions directory and restarting the server.

"I made a custom-node to have a seamless integration of Photopea in the ComfyUI sidebar!"

noted the developer in a a recent community post on Reddit. Anyone processing private client work should verify that image uploads comply with their internal data policies.
