Load VAE

The Load VAE node can be used to load a specific VAE model, VAE models are used to encoding and decoding images to and from latent space. Although the Load Checkpoint node provides a VAE model alongside the diffusion model, sometimes it can be useful to use a specific VAE model.

inputs

vae_name

The name of the VAE.

outputs

VAE

The VAE model used for encoding and decoding images to and from latent space.

example

At times you might wish to use a different VAE than the one that came loaded with the Load Checkpoint node. In the example below we use a different VAE to encode an image to latent space, and decode the result of the Ksampler.
