Upload Nodes

Upload nodes let you bring your own files into Armox workflows. Use your images as references, your videos as starting points, or your audio for voice cloning.

What Are Upload Nodes?

Upload nodes are your gateway for bringing external files into Armox:

• 📤 Upload files — Images, videos, or audio
• 🔗 Connect to AI — Use uploads as inputs for generation
• 🎨 Transform content — Edit, enhance, or animate your files

Adding an Upload Node

1. Open the node sidebar on the left
2. Find Upload in the list
3. Drag it onto your canvas

Uploading Files

Method 1: Click to Browse

1. Click the upload area in the node
2. Browse your computer
3. Select a file

Method 2: Drag and Drop

1. Find the file on your computer
2. Drag it directly onto the Upload node
3. Drop to upload

Supported File Formats

Images

Videos

Audio

Output Types

The Upload node's output type depends on what you upload:

Common Use Cases

Reference Images for Style Transfer

Use your image to guide AI generation:

[Upload Node (Image)] → [Image Node (Flux Kontext)]
Your photo → AI-edited version

Example: Upload a product photo, connect to Flux Kontext, prompt "place on beach background"

Image-to-Video Animation

Animate a still image:

[Upload Node (Image)] → [Video Node]
Your image → Animated video

Example: Upload a portrait, connect to video node, prompt "person slowly turns head"

Voice Cloning Source

Provide a voice sample for cloning:

[Upload Node (Audio)] → [Audio Node (XTTS)]
Voice sample → Cloned speech

Example: Upload 20 seconds of someone speaking, clone their voice

Image Enhancement

Improve your existing images:

[Upload Node (Image)] → [Tool Node (Upscaler)]
Low-res image → High-res image

Background Removal

Remove backgrounds from your photos:

[Upload Node (Image)] → [Tool Node (BG Remover)]
Photo with background → Transparent background

Best Practices for Uploads

Image Uploads

Video Uploads

Audio Uploads

File Size Limits

Keep your uploads within these limits:

💡 Tip: Compress large files before uploading for faster processing.

Workflow Examples

Product Photo Enhancement

1. Upload your product photo
2. Connect to Background Remover tool
3. Connect result to Image Node (Flux Kontext)
4. Prompt: "Place product on elegant marble surface, studio lighting"
5. Connect to Upscaler if needed

[Upload] → [BG Remover] → [Image Node] → [Upscaler]

Portrait Animation

1. Upload a portrait photo
2. Connect to Video Node
3. Prompt: "Subject slowly smiles, slight head tilt, natural movement"
4. Generate animated portrait

[Upload] → [Video Node]

Custom Voiceover

1. Upload voice sample (your voice or talent)
2. Connect to Voice Cloning node
3. Add Text Node with script
4. Generate voiceover in that voice

[Upload (Audio)] → [Voice Clone Node] ← [Text Node (Script)]

Troubleshooting

Upload Fails

• Check file format is supported
• Ensure file is under size limit
• Try a different browser
• Check internet connection

File Won't Connect

• Verify output type matches input type
• Image outputs (blue) → Image inputs
• Video outputs (purple) → Video inputs
• Audio outputs (orange) → Audio inputs

Poor Results from Upload

• Use higher quality source files
• Ensure good lighting in photos/videos
• Use clear audio without background noise
• Try a different AI model

Tips for Success

For Style Transfer

• Upload images with the style you want to capture
• Clear, recognizable style works best
• Avoid overly complex images

For Animation

• Choose images with natural poses
• Leave "room" for movement in composition
• Avoid images with extreme angles

For Voice Cloning

• Record in a quiet environment
• Speak naturally, not reading
• Include varied intonation
• Longer samples = better cloning

Next Steps

• Tool Nodes — Process your uploads
• Image Nodes — Transform your images
• Video Nodes — Animate your content
