So what is it?

This is a workflow file for n8n, the automation platform, that turns an ordinary product photo into a styled studio shot. You upload a photo through a simple web form, choose a photo type and aspect ratio, describe the scene in one line of plain English, and an image to image AI model re-renders the product into a professional looking shot. There is no website to build and no server to host beyond your n8n instance. The whole process costs about eleven cents per image. The workflow only changes the scene, lighting, and styling around the product. It never alters the product itself. To use it you need two API keys: one from KIE.AI, which handles uploading, generating, and checking the status of each image, and one from OpenAI, which expands your short scene description into a full, detailed photography prompt using a small model. You also need an n8n instance, either self hosted or on n8n Cloud. Setup takes about five minutes. You import the workflow file into n8n, add your KIE.AI key as a Bearer Auth credential on three specific nodes, add your OpenAI credential to the chat model node, then activate the workflow and open the form's production link. Behind the scenes, the form submission uploads your photo to get a temporary public link, an OpenAI powered agent expands your instructions into a professional prompt, an image model called nano banana two re-renders the photo, and the workflow polls every five seconds until the result is ready. One important note: the image links from KIE.AI expire after a few days, so you will want to add a step that saves the result somewhere permanent, such as Imgur, an S3 bucket, or Google Drive, if you want to keep it. The project is released under the MIT license and was built by its author for a candle brand's product photography needs before being shared publicly as a smaller, standalone piece.
