Run AI Video on Your Own GPU Without Learning ComfyUI
How Bloop Studio sets up ComfyUI and the models for you with one button, what it checks on your graphics card, and which cards can render pictures and video with sound.
You can run AI image and video generation on your own graphics card without learning ComfyUI by using Bloop Studio, a free Windows app. Open Settings, then Engine, and press Install offline engine. The app checks your GPU, memory and free disk space, ticks the models your card can run, downloads ComfyUI and the models, and starts the engine for you. You need an NVIDIA card with 8 GB for pictures or 12 GB for video with sound, and about 40 GB of free disk space.
ComfyUI is a strong engine for running AI image and video models on your own PC. Setting it up used to mean Python, model folders and custom nodes. Bloop Studio, a free Windows app, replaces that with one button.

The short answer
- Install Bloop Studio.
- Open Settings, then Engine.
- Press Install offline engine.
- Wait for the downloads. Then press Generate on a card.
What the button does
- Checks your graphics card. It reads your GPU, its memory and your free disk space, and tells you plainly what it can render.
- Suggests the models it can run. The models your card can handle come ticked: pictures, video with sound, quick silent drafts.
- Downloads ComfyUI and the models. They come straight from their publishers. Downloads resume after an interruption and every file is checked.
- Starts it for you. The engine starts with the app and stops when you close it.

What offline gets you

- It works with no internet once installed.
- Your files never leave your PC.

When your card is not enough
If your card is too small, you are not locked out. Sign in with a bloop account and the app works cloud only, on any Windows 10 or 11 PC. You can also mix both: draft free on your GPU, then send the hero shot to a cloud model. See how cloud models work in Bloop Studio.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know ComfyUI to render on my own GPU?
No. Bloop Studio runs ComfyUI behind the cards. Install offline engine sets it up, picks the models and starts it, and you never open it. There are no .bat files and no terminal.
What graphics card do I need?
For pictures: NVIDIA with 8 GB or more. For video with sound: NVIDIA with 12 GB or more. AMD cards with 16 GB or more work in beta, for pictures and silent drafts.
How much disk space does the offline engine need?
About 40 GB free, for the engine and its models.
I already have ComfyUI. Do I have to reinstall it?
No. Choose Add to my ComfyUI and Bloop Studio adds only the models your card is missing.
Is rendering on my own GPU free?
Yes. Everything you render on your own graphics card is free and needs no account. Renders stay on your PC.
What if my graphics card is too small?
Sign in with a bloop account (a browser page with an Allow button; the app never sees your password). Bloop Studio then works cloud only: cards use bloop's models and no local engine is needed. See /pricing for plans.
