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
