# CLIPSave - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> Complete documentation for the CLIPSave node in ComfyUI. Learn its inputs, outputs, parameters and usage.

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

| Parameter        | Data Type      | Required | Default Value  | Description                                |
| ---------------- | -------------- | -------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| clip             | CLIP           | Yes      | -              | The CLIP model to be saved                 |
| filename\_prefix | STRING         | Yes      | "clip/ComfyUI" | The prefix path for the saved file         |
| prompt           | PROMPT         | Hidden   | -              | Workflow prompt information (for metadata) |
| extra\_pnginfo   | EXTRA\_PNGINFO | Hidden   | -              | 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 Type  | File Suffix | Description           |
| ------------ | ----------- | --------------------- |
| `clip_l.`    | `_clip_l`   | CLIP-L text encoder   |
| `clip_g.`    | `_clip_g`   | CLIP-G text encoder   |
| Empty prefix | No suffix   | Other 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
