Automatic Background Removal for Images in Google Drive

n8n template #2529

Summary

This n8n workflow simplifies the process of removing backgrounds from images stored in Google Drive. By leveraging the PhotoRoom API, this template enables automatic background removal, padding adjustments, and output formatting, all while storing the updated images back in a designated Google Drive folder. This workflow is very useful for companies or individuals that are spending a lot of time into removing the background from product images. How it Works The workflow begins with a Google Drive Trigger node that monitors a specific folder for new image uploads. Upon detecting a new image, the workflow downloads the file and extracts essential metadata, such as the file size. Configurations

Click Execute workflow and step through each node's output to confirm the data looks right.
Toggle the workflow to Active so its trigger runs on its own.
