How to add more ControlNet models in Automatic1111

You can specify a path to a folder for additional ControlNet models using the ControlNet settings. While you can use any folder in your cloud storage, we recommend creating a ControlNet under your /a1111/models.

1. Navigate to your /a1111/models folder and create a new `ControlNet` folder.

2. Navigate to the /a1111/models/ControlNet folder and upload the *.safetensors file. Also upload the corresponding *.yaml file if it has one. For more info on uploading, click here

3. Go to the Settings tab

4. Scroll down and click on the ControlNet menu item on the left side

5. Add the inputs folder path to the "Extra path to scan for ControlNet models (e.g. training output directory)" field (you can easily copy the folder path via the link button next to the Input folder; it should be "../user_data/a1111/models/ControlNet" if you are using the recommended path above )

6. Apply the changes by clicking "Apply settings"

7. In the ControlNet section, click the 🔄 refresh button next the "Model" dropdown. You will have to do this separately for txt2img and img2img.

Your ControlNet model should now be available in the dropdown list.
