About

What it is

This n8n workflow turns one line of text into a picture and files it in Google Drive. You press a button. The workflow sends your prompt to the Flux dev model on fal.ai, then asks every three seconds whether the picture is ready. When it is, the workflow downloads the image and uploads it to a Drive folder of your choice. Nobody opens fal.ai or saves a file by hand. Nine nodes sit in it, beside three sticky notes.

Who it suits

Designers, marketers and small teams who need quick pictures for posts, slides or mock-ups and want them in a shared folder, not lost in a browser tab. It suits anyone who already lives in Google Drive. Skip it if you need hundreds of pictures from a list, because it makes one picture per press. A loop over a sheet of prompts would need extra nodes that this file does not hold. Skip it too if you want more control over style than a prompt gives.

Who uses it, and how
IndustryWho uses itHow they use itExample
MarketingSocial media managersMake a picture for each post ideaA manager types the idea as a prompt and finds the picture in the team folder.
DesignDesignersTest visual ideas before a shootA designer tries ten wordings of one scene and compares the files.
EducationTeachersIllustrate a slide or a worksheetA teacher describes a scene from a lesson and drops the picture into the class folder.
Small businessShop ownersMake banners and product backgroundsAn owner asks for a plain wooden table with soft light and saves it for later.

You need an n8n, a fal.ai API key and a Google account with a Drive folder.

Where to use it

Any n8n that can reach fal.ai and Google Drive will run it. It starts by hand, so it fits a quick session at your desk. To make it run on its own, swap the first node for a schedule, a form or a webhook.

  • n8n Cloud: bring in the file, connect your accounts and run it
  • Your own n8n server: the same file
  • A local install: it works the same, and the picture still lands in Drive
  • A team: point the Drive node at a shared folder

Setup

Download saves a zip with workflow.json and Mindket’s setup notes in your downloads folder. Import the file, add two credentials, pick a folder and write a prompt.

What you need first
NeedDetail
n8nOn n8n Cloud or on a server of your own
fal.aiAn account and an API key
Google DriveA Google account, a folder, and an OAuth2 credential in n8n
  1. In n8n, create a workflow, open its menu, choose Import from File and pick workflow.json.
  2. Create a Header Auth credential. Set its name to Authorization and its value to Key <YOUR_FAL_KEY>, with your own key in place of the placeholder. Add it to Fal Flux, Check Status and Get Image Result URL.
  3. Add a Google Drive OAuth2 credential to Google Drive, then pick the folder that should receive the pictures.
  4. Open Edit Fields and write your prompt. Change the width, height, steps and guidance if you like.
  5. Select Test workflow.

How to use it

Write what you want to see in the prompt, then run the workflow. After a short wait, the picture appears in your Drive folder. Change one word and run it again to compare. Short prompts work. Each run makes a new file.

Example

A shop owner needs a banner background for a spring sale. She types a prompt about pale green leaves on a white table with soft morning light, and runs the workflow.

About half a minute later a file appears in her Drive folder. The picture is 1024 by 768 pixels. She does not like the leaves, so she rewrites the prompt and runs it again. Both files stay in the folder, so she can compare them side by side.

For newcomers and experts

If you are new. n8n draws a workflow as boxes joined by lines, and each box, a node, does one job. fal.ai is a service that runs image models for you. Flux is one such model. You send a prompt, and it returns a picture. Making one takes a few seconds, so the workflow asks again and again until the picture is done.

For experts. fal’s queue answers at once with a request id, and the workflow polls that id in a loop.

Where to look closer
NodeWhat it doesWhat to know
Fal FluxPosts the prompt and the settings to the Flux dev queueThe prompt goes in with JSON.stringify, so quotes and line breaks cannot break the body
Check StatusAsks fal for the status of the requestThe address holds only the owner and the app, fal-ai/flux, as fal’s documentation asks
Completed?Tests whether status equals COMPLETEDA failed request also reads COMPLETED, with an error, and the loop has no limit
Get Image Result URLFetches the finished resultThe result lists the pictures and their addresses
Download ImageDownloads the first picture as a fileIt fails when the result holds an error
Google DriveUploads the file under its own nameThe folder picker starts blank

Good to know

The notes come from fal’s documentation and its model page, read on 12 November 2026, and nothing was run.

  • Loop: the check repeats until fal says COMPLETED, with no limit. A request that stalls keeps the run waiting
  • Failures: a failed request also ends as COMPLETED, with an error message, and Download Image then stops
  • Addresses: the status and result addresses use only the owner and the app, fal-ai/flux. fal’s documentation says an address with /dev in it answers 405, so the file is right
  • Cost: fal’s model page shows USD 0.025 per megapixel, rounded up. A 1024 by 768 picture counts as one megapixel
  • Limits: fal accepts 1 to 50 steps, a guidance value from 1 to 20, and a side up to 14142 pixels
  • Safety: the safety checker is on, so an image flagged as unsafe comes back black
  • Licence: fal’s model page calls Flux dev suitable for personal and commercial use. Read fal’s terms for your case
  • Storage: the picture’s address on fal is public and expires under your media settings, which is why the workflow downloads it at once
  • Repairs: the sample prompt described a person and is now a lighthouse at sunrise. The prompt is written into the request with JSON.stringify, so a quote mark no longer breaks it. The Drive folder was blanked, and a sticky note’s key example became a placeholder
  • Not run: no request went to fal and no file went to Drive. The notes come from fal’s pages
  • Your data: the prompt goes to fal, and the picture goes to your Drive
  • Credentials: the JSON holds none

README and files

README

Text to image with Flux on fal.ai saved to Google Drive

An n8n workflow that makes one picture from a text prompt with the Flux dev model on fal.ai. It waits until the picture
is ready, downloads it and saves it in a Google Drive folder.

What is inside

  • workflow.json: the workflow as n8n exports it, 9 nodes and 3 sticky notes. It holds no credential.
  • README.md: these notes.

What we changed from the original copy

  • The sample prompt described a person. It now describes a lighthouse at sunrise, so the file starts from a neutral
    example.
  • Fal Flux wrote the prompt into its JSON body as plain text, so a quote mark or a line break in a prompt would break
    the request. The body now writes the prompt with JSON.stringify.
  • The Drive folder in Google Drive held the original author's folder. It is blank now.
  • A sticky note showed the start of a real key as its example. It now reads Key <YOUR_FAL_KEY>.

Before you start

  • An n8n instance, on n8n Cloud or your own server.
  • A fal.ai account and an API key.
  • A Google account that can write to a Drive folder, and a Google Drive OAuth2 credential in n8n.

Set it up

  1. In n8n, create a workflow, open its menu, choose Import from File and pick workflow.json.
  2. Create a Header Auth credential. Set its name to Authorization and its value to Key <YOUR_FAL_KEY>, with your own key
    in place of the placeholder. Add it to Fal Flux, Check Status and Get Image Result URL.
  3. Add a Google Drive OAuth2 credential to Google Drive, then pick the folder that should receive the pictures.
  4. Open Edit Fields and write your prompt. Change the width, height, steps and guidance if you like.
  5. Select When clicking ‘Test workflow’ and run the workflow.

How a run goes

  1. When clicking ‘Test workflow’ starts the run by hand.
  2. Edit Fields holds the settings: Prompt, Width (1024), Height (768), Steps (30) and Guidance (3.5).
  3. Fal Flux posts them to https://queue.fal.run/fal-ai/flux/dev, asking for one image with the safety checker on.
    fal answers at once with a request id.
  4. Wait 3 Sec pauses for three seconds. Check Status asks fal for that request's status. Completed? tests whether
    status equals COMPLETED. If it does not, the run goes back to the wait.
  5. Get Image Result URL fetches the finished result, which lists the pictures and their addresses. Download Image
    downloads the first one as a file. Google Drive uploads it, under the file's own name, to your folder in My Drive.

Change the look

  • The picture: the prompt, width, height, steps and guidance in Edit Fields.
  • The format or the number of images: the body in Fal Flux. Only the first picture is saved.
  • How often it checks: Wait 3 Sec.
  • Where it lands: the folder in Google Drive.

Good to know

  • The facts below come from fal's queue documentation, its OpenAPI file and its model page, read on 12 November 2026.
    Nothing was run: no request to fal and no upload to Drive.
  • The status and result addresses use only the owner and the app, fal-ai/flux, and not the full fal-ai/flux/dev.
    fal's documentation says an address that includes the endpoint path answers 405, so the file is right.
  • A failed request also ends as COMPLETED, with an error message. Get Image Result URL then returns that error, and
    Download Image stops. A request that never completes keeps the loop polling, because it has no limit.
  • fal's model page shows USD 0.025 per megapixel, rounded up. A 1024 by 768 picture is under one megapixel, so it counts
    as one.
  • fal accepts 1 to 50 steps and a guidance value from 1 to 20. A side may be up to 14142 pixels. The defaults are 28 steps
    and 3.5.
  • With the safety checker on, an image flagged as unsafe comes back black.
  • fal's model page calls Flux dev suitable for personal and commercial use. Read fal's terms for your case.
  • The picture's address on fal is public and expires under your media expiration settings. This workflow downloads it at
    once for that reason.
  • Your data: the prompt goes to fal, and the picture goes to your Drive.
  • Credentials: the JSON holds none.
