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! An alternative for cloud usage is this workflow.

This workflow automatically analyzes the image content with the help of AI and writes it directly back into the image file as keywords.

This workflow has the following steps:

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

You can contact me via LinkedIn if you have any questions.
