## What it is
An unofficial ComfyUI custom node implementation of InstantID for identity-preserving image generation with Stable Diffusion XL. It provides nodes for loading base models, InsightFace, ID ControlNet, and IP-Adapter, plus a generation node supporting face and pose reference images and prompt styling.

## Use cases
- generate portraits that preserve a face from a reference image in ComfyUI
- run InstantID face identity generation as ComfyUI nodes
- create stylized portraits from a single face photo
- control pose while keeping identity in SDXL image generation
- load InstantID ControlNet and IP-Adapter models in ComfyUI workflows
- apply style presets like Watercolor or Film Noir to InstantID generations

## When to choose
- you already use ComfyUI and want node-based InstantID workflows
- you need identity-preserving portrait generation with SDXL checkpoints
- you want pose reference support alongside face identity preservation

## When to avoid
- you need an officially supported InstantID implementation
- you don't use ComfyUI or node-based workflows
- you need a license-clarified production deployment (repository has no license)
