This is a very simple workflow that helps you to save your Ernie Image (Base or Turbo) GGUF Text to Image Generation Data into a human readable .txt file. This will automatically get and write your metadata to the .txt file. You will find all the saved prompt files that it generated with the images inside the Archive (.Zip) that has the workflow. Also with the Image Saver Simple node used here you may embed the workflow itself with each saved image or save the image and workflow for your work separately.

ERNIE-Image is an open-source text-to-image generation model developed by Baidu and officially released in mid-April 2026. Built on a compact 8-billion parameter Diffusion Transformer architecture, it is designed to run efficiently on consumer-grade hardware while delivering state-of-the-art performance in multilingual text rendering and complex layout generation. Alongside the standard model, Baidu introduced ERNIE-Image-Turbo, a distilled variant optimized using Distribution Matching Distillation and reinforcement learning. While the base model typically requires 50 inference steps to reach peak quality, the Turbo version can generate high-fidelity images in just 8 steps, providing a massive speed advantage with minimal loss in detail. Both models are released under the Apache 2.0 license, making them highly accessible for developers and creators looking for a balance between speed, control, and precise instruction following.

You can download all of your necessary model files used in this workflow from HuggingFace and LORA from CivitAI (Details are mentioned below). Make sure you have latest enough ComfyUI installation and install any necessary nodes for for this workflow using ComfyUI manager and place the correct files in correct places. Also check out my other workflows for SD 1.5 + SDXL 1.0, Pony, WAN 2.1, WAN 2.2, MagicWAN Image v2, QWEN, HunyuanImage-2.1, HiDream, KREA, Chroma, AuraFlow, NoobAI, Illustrious, Lumina2, Z-Image Turbo, Flux.2 Klein 9B & 4B, Flux.1 Dev and Kandinsky Image 5 Lite (T2I & I2I) models. Feel free to toss some yellow Buzz on stuffs you like.

How to use this -

#1. Just select your Ernie Image (Base or Turbo) GGUF model files first and

#2. set your desired image dimensions to start

#3. then input your desired image prompt.

#4. select how many images you want (Change the number besides the "Run" button)

#5. select image sampling methods, CFG, steps etc. settings

#6. finally press the run button to generate. That's it..

** LORA usage for this workflow is optional you can use it without any LORAs, use with 1 or 2 or any other number of LORAs, to add new LORAs press the L button on top to lunch LORA Manager on a new tab find your LORA and if you want to use that LORA just click the upward Kite button.

https://huggingface.co/Bedovyy/ERNIE-Image-Quantized/resolve/main/ernie-image-turbo-fp8.safetensors

You can use these if you have trouble running both the full regular models & GGUF models but your hardware can handle these FP8 models (12GB or higher VRAM)

https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/flux2-dev/resolve/main/split_files/vae/flux2-vae.safetensors

Yes! as you can see it is just your Flux.2 VAE, if you have already downloded this for Flux.2 Klein (4B or 9B) you can skip downloading it again and just use the one you already used.

### Download Link for Ernie Image Prompt Enhancer (Optional) -

https://huggingface.co/Bedovyy/ERNIE-Image-Quantized/resolve/main/text_encoders/ernie-image-prompt-enhancer-fp8.safetensors

I have skipped using the Prompt Enhancer in this workflow for simpler and faster generation but if you are someone who likes to experiment with existing workflows like me and have better hardware that can handle FP8 models (12GB or higher VRAM) you can tweak and incorporate this with Ernie Image (Base or Turbo) FP8 model

LORA used -

ERNIE-Image Turbo Lora -

https://civarchive.com/models/2551180/ernie-image-turbo-lora?modelVersionId=2867032

This Lora extracted from Ernie Image Turbo can reduce the number of steps to 12 for faster generation on basic (8GB or 12GB VRAM) GPUs when used with Ernie Image Base model.. the resulting image sometimes can produce slighlty degraded outputs. You can skip this if you are using the Ernie Image Turbo model or if you want to use the standard 30 to 50 steps, CFG 5 to 7.5 with Ernie Image Base model for your desired output.
