This n8n workflow automates the process of optimizing images uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder by leveraging TinyPNG’s image compression API. When a new image file is added to the designated Google Drive folder, the workflow automatically downloads the image, sends it to TinyPNG for compression, retrieves the optimized image, and then saves it back to a chosen Google Drive folder. This automation helps streamline image management, reducing file sizes for faster website loading times or storage efficiency.
The workflow begins with a Google Drive trigger that monitors a specific folder for new files. Once a new image is detected, the workflow proceeds to download the image from Google Drive. It then sends a POST request to TinyPNG’s API with the image to initiate compression. After TinyPNG processes the image, the workflow retrieves the optimized version via a follow-up GET request. Finally, it uploads the compressed image to a target Google Drive folder, optionally renaming the file to indicate it has been optimized.
Practical use cases include automating website image workflows, reducing storage costs, and improving page load times without manual intervention. This workflow is ideal for content creators, web developers, or digital marketers seeking to optimize images efficiently and effortlessly.
