Edit Image#
Use the Edit Image node to manipulate and edit images.
Dependencies
- If you aren't running n8n on Docker, you need to install GraphicsMagick.
- You need to use a node such as the Read/Write Files from Disk node or the HTTP Request node to pass the image file as a data property to the Edit Image node.
