URL: https://github.com/UltimateIntent/ComfyUI-MetaWipe/

MetaWipe clears your sensitive data from images, videos, audio in ComfyUI:

- MetaWipe (All-in-One): creates cleaned copies of media files with non-essential metadata removed.

- MetaWipe Metadata Inspector: inspects media metadata before/after cleanup with a built-in per-file viewer.

Why Use This

• View and clear sensitive metadata before publishing to the web

• Clean metadata from many sources

• Clean single files or all folders/subfolders of mixed images, videos, audios

• Keep final outputs organized while retaining your original copies

• Prevent others from seeing your workflow and system details

Installation

1. Extract the archive zip (download in sidebar) into ComfyUI/custom_nodes/

or git clone this repository into ComfyUI/custom_nodes/.

git clone https://github.com/UltimateIntent/ComfyUI-MetaWipe/ 

2. Restart ComfyUI.

3. Add MetaWipe (All-in-One) and/or MetaWipe Metadata Inspector nodes to your ComfyUI workflow

Runtime Requirements

- Python packages: pillow, numpy

- System dependency: ffmpeg available in PATH

Node: MetaWipe (All-in-One)

Creates cleaned media copies with stable sequential naming.

Inputs

- any_input (required): accepts media from:

- file path strings (single or multiline)

- directory paths

- IMAGE VIDEO and AUDIO types

- compatible wrapper objects

- recursive (BOOLEAN, default false): if true, includes subfolders in metadata cleaning

- output_subfolder (STRING, default %Y-%m-%d): target folder under ComfyUI output directory.

- Supports strftime formatting %Y, %m, %d, etc.)

- Supports environment variable expansion (Windows-style %VAR%)

- output_filename_prefix (STRING, default clean_): prefix for saved cleaned files.

Outputs

- output_files (STRING): newline-separated list of created file paths.

- any_out (Any): passthrough-oriented output for downstream chaining.

Naming Rules

- Uses incrementing sequence numbers 00000, 00001, ...).

- Continues from highest existing sequence in the destination folder.

- Includes original source filename in saved copy names.

- Handles collisions with _(1), _(2), etc.

Node: MetaWipe Metadata Inspector

Inspects metadata and provides a selectable per-file JSON viewer in the node UI.

Inputs

- any_input (required): accepts the same input forms as MetaWipe.

- recursive (BOOLEAN, default false): if true, includes subfolders in metadata viewer

Outputs

- metadata_text (STRING): readable metadata summary.

- metadata_json (STRING): structured JSON metadata.

- filepaths_out (STRING): list of inspected file paths.

- any_out (Any): output of input for graph chaining

Viewer Behavior

- Dropdown selector lets you switch file-by-file.

- Viewer panel displays pretty JSON for the selected item.

Typical Workflows

- Before/after verification

- Any source -> Metadata Inspector (precleaned) -> MetaWipe -> Metadata Inspector (postclean verification)

- Direct cleanup

- Any source -> MetaWipe

- Path-based chaining

- MetaWipe.output_files -> Metadata Inspector.any_input
