AI-Powered Image Generation and Editing with OpenAI
detail.loadingPreview
Unleash the power of AI to generate unique images and then refine them with precise edits, all within a seamless n8n workflow. This automation leverages OpenAI's advanced `gpt-image-1` model to bring your visual concepts to life, from initial creation to final touches.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a comprehensive solution for AI-driven image generation and editing using the OpenAI API. It begins by generating a novel image based on a text prompt with the gpt-image-1 model. The generated image is then automatically converted from base64 to a binary file, making it ready for the subsequent editing step. Utilizing OpenAI's image editing endpoint, you can apply specific modifications to the image, such as adding a mask with horns, demonstrating the model's powerful semantic control. The final edited image is again converted for easy use. Remember, an OpenAI API key and monitoring usage are essential due to processing costs.

How To Use
- Obtain Your OpenAI API Key: If you don't have one, get your API key from platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.
- Create n8n Credential: In n8n, create a new "OpenAI API" credential. Name it
OpenAi AIFB account(or a name of your choice, then update the "Create image call" and "Edit Image (OpenAI)" nodes to use it). - Import the Workflow: Import this JSON snippet into your n8n instance.
- Customize Prompts: In the "Create image call" node, adjust the
promptparameter to describe the image you want to generate. In the "Edit Image (OpenAI)" node, modify thepromptparameter for the desired image transformation (e.g., "add a mask with horns"). - Run the Workflow: Click "Test workflow" or activate it to see your AI-generated and edited images in the output. Remember to monitor your OpenAI usage!
