ComfyUI-RealRestorer
Standalone ComfyUI node pack for RealRestorer image restoration.
No vendored diffusers fork. All model code is self-contained. Safe to install into any existing ComfyUI environment without breaking dependencies.

- Official repo: https://github.com/yfyang007/RealRestorer
Why This Exists
The official RealRestorer repo requires a patched fork of diffusers that will
break existing ComfyUI environments. This node pack reimplements the full pipeline
from scratch using only standard PyTorch, transformers, einops, and safetensors.
Requirements
Everything is already in a standard ComfyUI venv. No pip install needed.
VRAM Usage
At 1024x1024 with bfloat16:
| Strategy | Peak VRAM | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| full_gpu | ~34 GB | Fastest |
| offload_to_cpu | ~18 GB peak | Slower |
With 96GB VRAM, full_gpu is recommended.
