Managing product photos, social content, or client assets can be a nightmare when you’re stuck manually editing backgrounds. That’s why I built this plug‑and‑play n8n workflow that automatically removes backgrounds from any image uploaded to Google Drive — and re‑uploads the polished version back into your folder.

🔑 What This Template Does

Watches Google Drive in real time → detects new image uploads instantly
Downloads the file → no manual drag‑and‑drop needed
Removes background with Photoroom API → choose transparent, white, or any solid color
Adds padding & resizes → keep proportions or set fixed dimensions (e.g., 1600x1600)
Uploads the final PNG back to Drive → ready for use in e‑commerce, social posts, or design

⚡ Why It’s Powerful

Hands‑free automation → every new image is processed automatically
Flexible output → transparent backgrounds for design, white for product catalogs, or custom colors for branding
Scalable → batch‑process multiple images without slowing down
Customizable → tweak padding, output size, or even chain into other workflows (e.g., AI product tagging, text overlay)
