# 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.
- Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.25502
- Model: https://huggingface.co/RealRestorer/RealRestorer
- 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.
