(Leave a comment if you have trouble installing the custom nodes/dependencies, I'll do my best to assist you!)
This simple workflow consists of two main steps: first, swapping the face from the source image to the input image (which tends to be blurry), and then restoring the face to make it clearer. Feel free to customize the fidelity value to your preference; I've initially set it to a default of 1.000.

Prerequisites (Custom Nodes):
You can install either of these custom nodes using ComfyUI Manager or clone them with Git:
ReActor Node for ComfyUI: https://github.com/Gourieff/comfyui-reactor-node
Facerestore CF (Code Former): https://github.com/mav-rik/facerestore_cf
Installation guides (as provided on their respective GitHub pages):
ReActor:
1. Go to the ComfyUI\custom_nodes directory.
2. Open the Console and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Gourieff/comfyui-reactor-node
3. Run install.bat.
4. Run ComfyUI and find the ReActor Node inside the menu under "image/postprocessing" or by using the search function.
Facerestore CF:
Git clone this node to the
ComfyUI/custom_nodesfolder:cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
If you are running the portable Windows version of ComfyUI, run
embedded_install.bat. Windows users not running the portable version can runinstall.bat. Linux and macOS users can runinstall.sh. If the installation fails for any reason, you will need to manually installopencv-pythonto resolve a "cv2 not found" error.
Face Restoration Models
These models perform the face restoration. If you use automatic1111 you probably already have them but if not here are the download links. Just put them in models/facerestore_models/
https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN/releases/ https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN/releases/download/v1.3.4/GFPGANv1.4.pth
https://github.com/sczhou/CodeFormer/releases/ https://github.com/sczhou/CodeFormer/releases/download/v0.1.0/codeformer.pth
Face detection models
The face restoration model only works with cropped face images. A face detection model is used to send a crop of each face found to the face restoration model. These will automaticly be downloaded and placed in models/facedetection the first time each is used. Here's the links if you'd rather download them yourself.
https://github.com/xinntao/facexlib/releases/download/v0.1.0/detection_Resnet50_Final.pth https://github.com/xinntao/facexlib/releases/download/v0.1.0/detection_mobilenet0.25_Final.pth https://github.com/sczhou/CodeFormer/releases/download/v0.1.0/yolov5l-face.pth https://github.com/sczhou/CodeFormer/releases/download/v0.1.0/yolov5n-face.pth
This also gets downloaded and put in the facedetection folder. It's used to put the restored faces back into the original image. https://github.com/sczhou/CodeFormer/releases/download/v0.1.0/parsing_parsenet.pth

ReActorFaceSwap doesn't seem to load. Manager won't load it. Found it on Github, also doesn't work. Is there an alternative?
This should be updated, reactor doesn't use separate nodes for face restore nowadays. Everything is in one node.
So what are you using then?
Brilliant, works perfectly! It's so hard to find a simple, straight forward workflow sometimes. Thanks and keep up the good work!
error on the import of recactor
Reactor is broken. Have done all the fixes there is but doesnt work anymore. Any other suggestions for an alternative?
Thank God I did it! 1. I used https://codeberg.org/Gourieff/comfyui-reactor-node#insightfacebuild and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsz3Z9tZFYc. This helped me install the uncensored Reactor. Then I followed the instructions on the page. Thank you!!!
Anyone getting this error?
"Failed to import transformers.models.timm_wrapper.configuration_timm_wrapper because of the following error (look up to see its traceback): cannot import name 'ImageNetInfo' from 'timm.data' (/Users/jefharris/ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-tbox/src/timm/data/__init__.py)"
reactor is not availbe on github anymore
ReActor doesn't work. Can't load it into ComfyUI. From what I see it looks like none of the custom nodes for face swap work any more, or maybe there's a problem with my PC.
You have to be very careful with ReActor. Make backups of everything. Check to see if you have duplicates in custom nodes (there are different versions), delete them all and install the uncensored one directly in terminal, and check/reinstall dependencies to your venv. Don't use the manager, you won't get the proper one. https://codeberg.org/Gourieff/comfyui-reactor-node is the uncensored one. It works just fine. Make backups. Any LLM can assist you with this if you need help.
@Ponder_Stibbons Extremely helpful comment. Thank you.
