What is Wan 2.1 Vae?
Wan 2.1 Vae is a VAE (Variational Autoencoder) that encodes and decodes latent representations. You can run it locally in ComfyUI with full control over every parameter, or access it through Comfy Cloud. ComfyUI's node-based workflow editor lets you connect Wan 2.1 Vae with ControlNets, LoRAs, upscalers, and custom nodes to build any pipeline you need. There are 37 community workflow templates using Wan 2.1 Vae on Comfy Workflows, ready to load and customize.
