Everything you need to install the Pixaroma nodes and run the workflows you download here.
.json files into your ComfyUI workflows folder:
ComfyUI/user/default/workflows/Quick option: you can also drag a .json file straight onto the ComfyUI canvas to load it right away.
Some workflows use the free Pixaroma custom nodes. They live on GitLab: gitlab.com/pixaroma/ComfyUI-Pixaroma (the old GitHub repo is no longer used).
The first two always give you the newest version, so they come first.
If you use ComfyUI Easy-Install, Pixaroma is already included. To pull the newest version, run Update Easy-Install.bat from your ComfyUI-Easy-Install folder, or open the ComfyUI EZi Launcher and press Easy-Install under UPDATE.
ComfyUI/custom_nodes folder. Click the address bar, type cmd and press Enter - this opens a command window in that folder.git clone https://gitlab.com/pixaroma/comfyui-pixaroma.gitSearch for "Pixaroma" in ComfyUI Manager, click Install, then restart ComfyUI.
Manager is not always the newest. It installs from the Comfy Registry, which does not always carry the latest version. The two options above always give you the newest, so prefer them if a workflow needs a brand new node. You can also switch Pixaroma to nightly in Manager, which installs straight from the repository.
Buttons or a whole node missing after an update? That is almost always a browser cache problem, not a broken install - see how to clear it below.
Installed it from GitHub before? Run "Update Easy-Install", or repoint it once with
git remote set-url origin https://gitlab.com/pixaroma/ComfyUI-Pixaroma.git
New nodes and fixes land often. The first two always give you the newest version, so they come first.
Either of these fetches the newest Pixaroma nodes for you:
ComfyUI-Easy-Install folder.ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-Pixaroma folder. Click the address bar, type cmd and press Enter.git pullFind Pixaroma in the installed list, press Update, then restart ComfyUI.
Manager is not always the newest. It installs from the Comfy Registry, which can sit behind the repository, so Update can finish and still leave you a few versions back with nothing to warn you. If the version does not change, pressing Update again will not help: switch Pixaroma to nightly in Manager, which installs straight from the repository, or use Option 1 or Option 2.
Worth ten seconds, because an update can finish with a tick and still leave you on the old version. Open the Help window inside ComfyUI (the orange ? in the top toolbar) and read the version in the bottom right corner. Compare it with the newest version on GitLab. If the number went up, the update worked.
Version went up, but a node still looks wrong? That one is the browser cache rather than the update - clear it below.
Seeing "banned for security reasons" after updating? The nodes are fine, here is what that message is.
The Pixaroma nodes are safe, and the pack is not banned. Its status on the Comfy Registry is Active. What is flagged is the recent version numbers, not the pack and not anything found on your computer.
ComfyUI checks the version you have installed against the Comfy Registry and repeats whatever the registry says about it. Since 26 August 2026 the registry has marked our newer versions as banned, so ComfyUI shows that warning to anyone who installed with Easy-Install or git. No reason has ever been given: there is no reason field in the registry's API, and the publisher dashboard shows nothing either.
It is not only Pixaroma. The same thing has hit several well known node packs over the same period, which is why this looks like an automated false positive rather than anything found in the code.
Everything above is public, so you do not have to take our word for it:
NodeStatusActive)Nothing. The nodes work normally. If the warning bothers you, version 1.4.126 is the last one the registry marks Active, so installing that clears it, at the cost of the fixes added since.
Correct as of 5 September 2026. This page will say so when it is resolved, and issue #223 above is the live thread.
If a node looks broken or its buttons and widgets are missing, it is almost always a browser cache problem - not a broken install. After an update your browser keeps serving the old node files. This can be stubborn and persistent, so work through the two steps below in order.
Reload ComfyUI while skipping the cached files: press Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac). Most of the time the missing buttons come straight back.
If a hard refresh did not fix it, force a clean reload with the browser developer tools open:
The cache only stays off while the developer tools are open, so refreshing with them open is what forces a truly fresh copy. Once the buttons are back, press F12 again to close it.
Why this happens: the browser saves the JavaScript that draws each node so the page loads faster. After a node update that saved copy is out of date, and you see missing buttons until you force a clean reload.
Stuck or found a bug? The community and I are happy to help.
Everything here stays free. Making it is not: the AI tools behind the Pixaroma nodes, the cloud platforms, the AI voice and the editing software all cost money every month. If these workflows saved you time, a channel membership is the most direct way to keep new episodes coming.
Would rather give once than monthly? There is a donate page too. And if neither fits right now, that is genuinely fine - watching an episode and sharing it with someone who needs it already helps.
