Capturing a rendered AI Image as a file, URL or Base 64

Hey legends, is there any way to generate an AI image which is rendered into the chat, and then ‘capture it’ for further processing?

My usecase: I want my users to create an image with Flux or OpenAI and if they approve it - I want to send the image (or image data) to n8n to be processed onto PDF templates.

Is it possible? Perhaps generated images get stored on Pickaxe servers with an accessible URL,…or nah?

Thanks!!

Any ideas legends?? Has anyone considered this kind of workflow before?

Hi @fluent_friends,

The image generation action creates an image URL, which is then displayed. You can have another action that has image url as input and processes the image once it’s generated.

You just need to have a prompt frame like this: “Once you generate an image, ask for approval to process it and use <action_name> to handle the processing.”

The magic will always be in the prompt frame and trigger prompts.

Awesome thanks so much for your reply! I’ll make sure im specific in the prompting. Cheers!

@fluent_friends as Pickaxe stores the image in the AWS server you will need to pass the AWS URL to n8n/Make. The variable is os.getenv(“PICKAXE_END_USER_RAW_DOC_URLS”)
