CLIPSeg

By time-riverView on GitHub →

The CLIPSeg node generates a binary mask for a given input image and text prompt. NOTE:This custom node is a forked custom node with hotfixes applied from the [a/original repository](https://github.com/biegert/ComfyUI-CLIPSeg), which is no longer maintained.

How much VRAM does CLIPSeg require?

Direct Answer: The ComfyUI node CLIPSeg requires a minimum base VRAM of 2048MB and is optimized for GPUs with at least 6GB of VRAM. Low VRAM mode is fully supported for resource-constrained setups.
