The CLIPSave node is designed for saving CLIP text encoder models in SafeTensors format. This node is part of advanced model merging workflows and is typically used in conjunction with nodes like CLIPMergeSimple and CLIPMergeAdd. The saved files use the SafeTensors format to ensure security and compatibility.

Inputs

ParameterData TypeRequiredDefault ValueDescription
clipCLIPYes-The CLIP model to be saved
filename_prefixSTRINGYes”clip/ComfyUI”The prefix path for the saved file
promptPROMPTHidden-Workflow prompt information (for metadata)
extra_pnginfoEXTRA_PNGINFOHidden-Additional PNG information (for metadata)

Outputs

This node has no defined output types. It saves the processed files to the ComfyUI/output/ folder.

Multi-file Saving Strategy

The node saves different components based on the CLIP model type:

Prefix TypeFile SuffixDescription
clip_l._clip_lCLIP-L text encoder
clip_g._clip_gCLIP-G text encoder
Empty prefixNo suffixOther CLIP components

Usage Notes

  1. File Location: All files are saved in the ComfyUI/output/ directory
  2. File Format: Models are saved in SafeTensors format for security
  3. Metadata: Includes workflow information and PNG metadata if available
  4. Naming Convention: Uses the specified prefix plus appropriate suffixes based on model type
