EasyKSampler (Tiled Decode)(samplerSimpleTiled)

Description

The EasyKSampler (Tiled Decode) node runs sampling with the EasyUse pipeline and decodes the resulting latent in tiles instead of decoding the full latent at once. Tiled decoding reduces peak VRAM usage when generating large images, at the cost of some additional processing overhead.

It returns both the updated pipeline and the decoded image, making it easy to chain further pipeline nodes or display/save the result.

Inputs

pipe

• Type: PIPE_LINE
• Required

The EasyUse pipeline object containing the sampling inputs, such as model, positive/negative conditioning, latent, seed, and sampler settings. After sampling, an updated pipeline is returned.

tile_size

• Type: INT
• Default: 512
• Min: 320
• Max: 4096
• Step: 64

The target size, in pixels, for each tile used during tiled decoding. Larger tile sizes use fewer tiles and can reduce tiling artifacts, but increase memory usage. Smaller tile sizes are gentler on VRAM. Because the value steps by 64, it aligns with the latent scaling used by the sampler.

image_output

• Type: COMBO
• Default: Preview
• Options: Hide, Preview, Save, Hide&Save, Sender, Sender&Save, None

Controls how the decoded image is handled after sampling.

• Preview – Show the image in the UI preview.
• Save – Save the image using the configured prefix.
• Hide – Do not preview the image.
• Hide&Save – Hide the preview and save the image.
• Sender – Send the image to an external receiver using link_id.
• Sender&Save – Send the image externally and save it.
• None – Do not preview, save, or send the image.

The output IMAGE is still produced regardless of this setting.

link_id

• Type: INT
• Required

Used with the Sender or Sender&Save image output modes. This ID identifies the destination link for sending the generated image to an external receiver or workflow integration.

save_prefix

• Type: STRING
• Default: ComfyUI

The filename prefix used when saving images, for example with Save, Hide&Save, or Sender&Save.

model

• Type: MODEL
• Optional

An optional model override. If provided, this model is used for sampling instead of the model inside the pipeline. If omitted, the model contained in pipe is used.

Outputs

PIPE_LINE

• Type: PIPE_LINE

The updated pipeline after sampling, including the sampled latent and any related sampling state.

IMAGE

• Type: IMAGE

The decoded image result.

Usage Notes

• Use smaller tile_size values when decoding very large latents on limited VRAM.
• Use larger tile_size values when you want fewer tile seams or faster tiled decoding with sufficient VRAM.
• The model input is useful when you want to use a different model than the one currently stored in the pipeline without rebuilding the whole pipeline.
• When using Sender or Sender&Save, make sure link_id matches the expected external receiver configuration.
