Product Image Background Remover Automation

What it does:
This automation monitors a Google Drive folder. Whenever a new image is uploaded, it automatically removes the background using the Remove.bg API and re-uploads the cleaned (cutout) image to another folder in Google Drive.

Tools Used:

  • n8n – for workflow orchestration

  • Google Drive API – to fetch and store files

  • Remove.bg API – for background removal

Why it’s useful:

  • Eliminates manual image editing for product photos

  • Perfect for e-commerce, catalog creation, or content preparation

  • Fast, scalable, and low-maintenance

Expandability

Imagine this system running daily, cleaning dozens of your product photos while you sleep.
That’s not just automation — that’s your silent assistant.

This system currently performs background removal and re-uploads the result — but it can easily be extended with more advanced features, such as:

  • Automatic product description generation using AI

  • Smart file naming and folder organization

  • Email notifications when a new image is processed

  • Logging and reporting for processed files

These features would turn it into a complete content creation pipeline for online stores or creative teams.

This isn't just a before/after comparison.
No manual clicks, no Photoshop, no need to open a single file.
Everything runs through my automation workflow — you just drop the image into a folder.
• Uploaded to Google Drive
• Detected by my automation
• Processed with Remove.bg API
• Saved back into a processed folder — all without manual work.
