# ComfyUI_LoadImageFromHttpURL
### 🧩 Load Image from HTTP URL – Custom Node for ComfyUI
By @jerrywap
[](https://github.com/jerrywap/ComfyUI_LoadImageFromHttpURL/stargazers)
---
## 🔍 Description
**Load Image from HTTP URL** is a lightweight but powerful custom node for ComfyUI that allows you to **fetch images directly from a remote URL** and use them in your workflows without manual uploads or preprocessing.
Instead of uploading an image file manually, you can pass a publicly accessible image URL — and the node will handle downloading, decoding, and converting it into an image tensor compatible with ComfyUI.
This is especially useful when you're:
- ⚙️ Building **ComfyUI as an API service**
- 📡 Receiving image URLs from client apps, webhooks, or JSON payloads
- 🌐 Working with **dynamic content** from external APIs or cloud storage
By skipping the file transfer step, you reduce friction, improve performance, and make your workflows more automation-friendly.
---
## ✨ Features
- 📡 Downloads an image from an HTTP/HTTPS URL
- 📷 Converts it to a proper image tensor (`IMAGE`) for ComfyUI
- 🧼 Includes graceful fallback (returns a blank black image on error)
- ✅ Supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, etc. (any format supported by Pillow)
---
