Adding Text Behind an Image with ComfyUI
Ever in the need of adding some text in the image, well that’s easy with any image editor. Well, the trickiness comes when you want to add the text in between the Subject and the Background so the image is sliced up and then merged back in three layers.
The Layers
- Layer 1 – Foreground subject of the image
- Layer 2 – Text you want to insert (behind the subject)
- Layer 3 – The background of the image
The Process
So, it’s like taking a very sharp sashimi knife and slicing the image by carefully removing the subject and then adding the text behind it. It’s quite easily done in ComfyUI using BirefNet General model which will remove the background from the image thereby giving you a cleanly separate image of the subject.
Now that you have the subject, it’s about building the three layers in ComfyUI Workflow and creating the merged image. For this, we need to utilise a few nodes from the Essentials bundle. Install these using your ComfyUI Manager or when you load the workflow use the Install Missing Nodes option.
The Workflow
For a preview of the resulting image, my workflow only produces a Preview of the resulting image. If you wish to save the final Image, you need to replace the Preview Image with Save Image node.

Results
Here are some of the resulting images I have managed to produce with this workflow. Pretty neat that you can achieve all this just using ComfyUI.
Conclusion
I hope you like using this workflow and have fun extending it to do more.
