# Ernie Image in ComfyUI

Ernie Image is a diffusion model that generates images or video from text and image prompts. You can run it locally in ComfyUI with full control over every parameter, or access it through Comfy Cloud. ComfyUI's node-based workflow editor lets you connect Ernie Image with ControlNets, LoRAs, upscalers, and custom nodes to build any pipeline you need. There is 1 community workflow template using Ernie Image on Comfy Workflows, ready to load and customize.
