ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI-TextOverlay

ComfyUI-TextOverlay Introduction

The ComfyUI-TextOverlay extension is a powerful tool designed to help you add text to your images effortlessly. Whether you're creating digital art, designing graphics, or simply adding captions to your photos, this extension provides a versatile and user-friendly solution. With ComfyUI-TextOverlay, you can customize the text's appearance by adjusting the font size, type, color, alignment, and position. This flexibility allows you to tailor the text overlay to fit your creative vision perfectly. Originally inspired by the Text Overlay Plugin by mikkel, the author has expanded and enhanced the features to offer even more customization options.

How ComfyUI-TextOverlay Works

At its core, ComfyUI-TextOverlay works by taking an input image and superimposing text onto it based on your specified parameters. Think of it as a digital sticker that you can place anywhere on your image. You start by selecting an image and then decide what text you want to add. The extension allows you to choose from various fonts and colors, much like picking a pen and ink for writing. You can also decide where the text should appear on the image, similar to placing a label on a physical photo. The extension processes these inputs and outputs an image with the text seamlessly integrated.

ComfyUI-TextOverlay Features

• Font Customization: Choose from a variety of font sizes and types to match your artistic style. You can even use custom fonts by placing the font file in the designated directory.
• Color Selection: Specify the text and stroke colors using hex codes, allowing for precise color matching to your image's palette.
• Alignment and Positioning: Align your text horizontally (left, center, right) and vertically (top, middle, bottom). You can also fine-tune the text's position using x and y shifts for exact placement.
• Stroke Customization: Add a stroke around your text to make it stand out. You can adjust the stroke's color and thickness to achieve the desired effect.
• Supports Single and Batch Processing: Whether you're working on a single image or a batch of images, ComfyUI-TextOverlay can handle it, making it ideal for both small projects and large-scale tasks.
