--- title: "Qwen3-VL for ComfyUI" kind: "Kit" category: "Developer" price: "Free" seller: "Mindket" version: "1" url: "https://mindket.com/p/17d33422-ceaf-443f-bcff-b234479c3740" updated: "2026-11-13" --- # Qwen3-VL for ComfyUI > The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions. Repackaged Qwen3-VL 4B and 8B model files for ComfyUI's text encoder folder, offered in several precisions from bf16 to 4-bit styles. For ComfyUI users who need a Qwen3-VL text encoder. Qwen3-VL for ComfyUI is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by Comfy-Org ## About ### What it is These are Qwen3-VL model files repackaged for ComfyUI. They come in 4B and 8B sizes and in several precisions, and they belong in the text\_encoders folder. The card is short and does not say which workflows use them. The originals are the Qwen3-VL 4B Instruct and 8B Instruct models from Qwen. ### Who it suits It suits ComfyUI users whose workflow asks for a Qwen3-VL text encoder and who want a ready file in the right format. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Design and art | ComfyUI artists | Load a Qwen3-VL text encoder for a workflow that needs one | They pick the 4B file in the encoder node | | Software development | Developers who build ComfyUI pipelines | Swap between sizes and precisions in a workflow | They try the 8B file in place of the 4B file | | Local AI hobby | Users with limited memory | Choose a smaller precision of the same model | They try an fp8 or 4-bit style file | You can skip it if you do not use ComfyUI, or if your workflow does not call for a Qwen3-VL text encoder. ### Where to use it - ComfyUI, on Windows, macOS or Linux - The text\_encoders folder under ComfyUI/models - Python with the Hugging Face tools, to download the files | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Provide a text encoder | ComfyUI users | A Qwen3-VL file the workflow can load | | Try a smaller file | Users with limited memory | A lower-precision copy of the same model | | Compare sizes | Pipeline developers | 4B and 8B files side by side | ### How to set it up You need ComfyUI and a place for the downloaded files. - A working ComfyUI install - Python with the huggingface\_hub package - Disk space for the files you choose to keep 1. Install the Hugging Face tools with Python. 2. Download the repository files with the second command below. 3. Place the files you want in the text\_encoders folder under ComfyUI/models. 4. Restart ComfyUI if it was open, then pick the file in your workflow. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download Comfy-Org/Qwen3-VL ``` The seven files, all for the text\_encoders folder | Model size | Precision | File | | --- | --- | --- | | 4B | bf16 | qwen3vl\_4b\_bf16.safetensors | | 4B | fp8 scaled | qwen3vl\_4b\_fp8\_scaled.safetensors | | 8B | bf16 | qwen3vl\_8b\_bf16.safetensors | | 8B | fp8 scaled | qwen3vl\_8b\_fp8\_scaled.safetensors | | 8B | int8 convrot | qwen3vl\_8b\_int8\_convrot.safetensors | | 8B | w4a8 | qwen3vl\_8b\_w4a8.safetensors | | 8B | nvfp4 | qwen3vl\_8b\_nvfp4.safetensors | ### How to use it The card gives no command and names no workflow. After the files are in place, choose one in a ComfyUI node that loads a text encoder, and check that workflow's own notes for the file it expects. | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | text\_encoders folder | Where ComfyUI looks for these Qwen3-VL files | | Hugging Face download command | Fetches every file in the repository | ### Example You place the 4B fp8 scaled file in the text\_encoders folder and select it in a workflow that asks for a text encoder. The workflow then reads your prompt through that encoder. The card does not describe the workflow itself. ### For newcomers and experts Think of these as the language-reading part that some ComfyUI workflows need. A first small try is to download one file, place it in the folder and select it in a workflow that asks for it. The file names show two model sizes and five precision styles: bf16, fp8 scaled, int8 convrot, w4a8 and nvfp4. The card does not compare them, so check your workflow's notes before choosing. Smaller precisions usually trade some accuracy for less memory, but the card gives no measurements. Download the repository files → Place one in ComfyUI/models/text\_encoders → Select it in a text encoder node → Run the workflow that uses it ### Good to know - Repackaged files: they are Qwen3-VL weights arranged for ComfyUI, and the originals are Qwen's 4B Instruct and 8B Instruct models - Short card: there is no workflow list, so check each workflow's own notes - Other versions: other people have published 1 quantized version - License: Apache 2.0 - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the files you download and the prompts you run in ComfyUI - Not for: use outside ComfyUI, since the files are repackaged for it ## README ````markdown # Qwen3-VL for ComfyUI Repackaged Qwen3-VL 4B and 8B model files for ComfyUI's text encoder folder, offered in several precisions from bf16 to 4-bit styles.
