PixlStash 1.13: inpainting and workflow/model downloads

Draw area to change,
set a prompt,
press Run

The picture viewer has paint tools now. Mark a part of a picture, describe the change, and an inpaint workflow redraws only that part. Three inpaint workflows come with PixlStash, and your own inpaint workflows run there too.

The Templates tab: ComfyUI template cards marked Ready to run or with how many files are missing

Every ComfyUI template

A Templates tab lists what your ComfyUI offers, which files each needs and which you have. Add one and it loads from your library and shelf, and saves back to PixlStash.

The Tasks tab downloading a 19 GB checkpoint, with a progress bar and a cancel button

Missing models, downloaded

One press downloads a model a workflow is missing, into the folder you set in Settings › Models, and puts it on your shelf, immediately accessible for use.

Runs wait for the GPU

A run that does not fit waits for GPU memory instead of running out of it, and PixlStash unloads its own models to make room.

New to workflows? 1.12 turned the ComfyUI workflows behind your pictures into a library you can run. Next up is 2.0: training a LoRA from your library, inside PixlStash. And it does this easier and with more managable folder management than ComfyUI itself.

The AI

Tagging, captioning and scoring on your own hardware

Semantic search and face recognition are the start. PixlStash also tags and captions with the engine you pick, scores for quality and malformed anatomy, and gives you a review queue for the labels it is least sure about.

All of it runs on your own hardware, CPU or GPU. There is no cloud API and no account to sign into.

ComfyUI

Drive PixlStash from ComfyUI

One click in PixlStash's Settings installs our nodes into your ComfyUI and links the two apps. Then load, search, gate by likeness, and save library images straight from your ComfyUI workflows, with ready-made example graphs to get started.

PixlStash ComfyUI integration
Coming from Immich?

Immich is a great self-hosted home for your photos. PixlStash does a different job.

PixlStash is a tool for working with images: sorting photos, maintaining tags, prepping a dataset, and running images through generation tools. Yes, it can also work as a home server.

It does both of the AI features Immich is known for. CLIP semantic search, face detection and recognition, text search inside pictures, and duplicate detection are all here too. Immich has mobile apps with background sync, which PixlStash does not.

On top of those, with PixlStash you get:

  • Automatic tagging and captioning, with the engine selectable per request: our own PixlStash Tagger, WD14, Florence-2 or JoyCaption.
  • A tag review queue and a tag health board, so auto-tags are verified before they're trusted.
  • Quality, anomaly and character-likeness scoring, so a large set sorts by what is worth looking at.
  • Segmentation, reverse face search, reverse likeness search, and a choice of GPU or CPU backend.
  • Two-way ComfyUI integration: control ComfyUI from PixlStash, or call PixlStash's nodes from your own workflows. Generated images return tagged, with People, Picture Set, and Project associations attached.
  • A library of your ComfyUI workflows, built from your own pictures, and the recipe behind every picture you made.
  • A model overview. Keep track of your diffusion models.
  • Every AI feature, side by side with Immich's, and other work features
