Description

Welcome to my Automated Image Metadata Tagging Workflow!

DISCLAIMER: This workflow only works with self-hosted n8n instances! You have to install the n8n-nodes-exif-data Community Node!

This workflow automatically analyzes the image content with the help of AI and writes it directly back into the image file as keywords.
(https://n8n.io/workflows/2995).**

This workflow has the following steps:

Google Drive trigger (scan for new files added in a specific folder)
Download the added image file
Analyse the content of the image
Merge Metadata and image file
Write the Keywords into the Metadata (dc:subject/keywords) and create new image file
Update the original file in the Google Drive folder

The following accesses are required for the workflow:
You have to install the n8n-nodes-exif-data Community Node**
Google Drive: Documentation
AI API access (e.g. via OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or Ollama)
