Build an image restoration service with n8n & Gemini AI image editing

This n8n template demonstrates how to build a simple but effective vintage image restoration service using an AI model with image editing capabilities. With Gemini now capable of multimodal output, it's a great time to explore this capability for image or graphics automation. Let's see how well it does for a task such as image restoration. Good to know At time of writing, each image generated will cost $0.039 USD. See Gemini Pricing for updated info. The model used in this workflow is geo-restricted! If it says model not found, it may not be available in your country or region. How it works Images are imported into our workflow via the HTTP node and converted to base64 strings using the Extract from file node. The image data is then pipelined to Gemini's Image Generation model. A prompt is provided to instruct Gemini to "restore" the image to near new condition - of course, feel free to experiment with this prompt to improve the results! Gemini's responds with the image as a base64 string and hence, a convert to file node is used to transform the data to binary. With the restored image as a binary, we can then use this with our Google Drive node to upload it to our desired folder. How to use This demonstration uses 3 random images sourced from the internet but any typical image file will work. Use a webhook node to allow integration from other applications. Use a telegram trigger for instant mobile service!

Try using it to add watermarks, branding or modify an existing image for marketing purposes.
