## About

Most lists are alphabetical, which tells you nothing. This one is organised by workflow: run a graph, generate an image, upscale it, cut out the background, edit part of it, or host the model. Each page says what every tool is actually for — and which are open source.

## Pick a workflow

- [ComfyUI and node workflows](https://toolpantry.app/ai/comfyui) — 7 tools · Graphs you can save, share and re-run.
- [Text to image](https://toolpantry.app/ai/text-to-image) — 7 tools · What each one is actually good at.
- [Upscaling and enhancement](https://toolpantry.app/ai/upscale) — 6 tools · Adding detail versus just adding pixels.
- [Background removal](https://toolpantry.app/ai/background-removal) — 6 tools · One cutout, or a whole catalogue.
- [AI image editing](https://toolpantry.app/ai/image-editing) — 6 tools · Fill, expand, replace — inside an existing photo.
- [Models, LoRAs and APIs](https://toolpantry.app/ai/model-hosting) — 5 tools · Download weights, or call them as an API.

## Tools

- **[MOSS-Image layout editor](https://toolpantry.app/moss-image-layout-editor)** (Tool Pantry, Local) — Draw a layout and edit the MOSS-Image JSON by hand, with nothing uploaded. Useful when a workflow expects positioned elements rather than a sentence.
- **[FLUX layout prompt generator](https://toolpantry.app/flux-bounding-box-generator)** (Tool Pantry, Local) — Draw bounding boxes on a 0–1000 grid and export the FLUX 3 layout prompt as element JSON.
- **[FLUX layout prompt generator](https://toolpantry.app/flux-bounding-box-generator)** (Tool Pantry, Local) — Place elements at exact coordinates instead of describing them in prose, then export the prompt as JSON.
- **[Background remover](https://toolpantry.app/background-remover)** (Tool Pantry, Local) — Removes the background in the browser with nothing uploaded. Best for a single image you would rather not send anywhere.
- **[Add text to a photo](https://toolpantry.app/add-text-to-photo)** (Tool Pantry, Local) — Puts text on an image in the browser with nothing uploaded. For labels and captions this beats an AI edit.


## FAQ

**How are these tools chosen?**

By hand, from tools we have used or seen used in real workflows. No one pays for a position. Paid and free tools sit on the same list; the tags say which is which.

**Are there affiliate links here?**

Not yet. If that changes, the links will be marked and the page will say so. The affiliate disclosure explains the rules we hold ourselves to.

**How often is this updated?**

Tool lists rot: free tiers shrink and projects go quiet. We re-check entries when a page is edited, and drop tools that no longer work.
