File Type Converter with n8n

This n8n workflow enables seamless conversion of files between different formats and MIME types. It extracts binary data from an input file, allows users to specify a new filename and extension, and rebuilds the binary data to appear as a different file type. The process involves extracting the file’s binary content, setting a custom output filename, transforming the binary data within a code node, and optionally changing the MIME type and extension to match the desired format. This workflow is particularly useful for automating file conversions in workflows such as transforming images, audio, or document formats without manual intervention. It leverages nodes like ‘Extract from File,’ ‘Set Output File Name,’ and custom code for binary data manipulation, making it an efficient tool for developers and content creators who need to dynamically alter file types within their automation pipelines.
