The n8n-nodes-pictify community node lets you call Pictify from any n8n workflow — no code required. Render Open Graph cards, social media images, animated GIFs, certificates, invoices, and more, then chain into email, Slack, S3, Notion, Airtable, or anything else n8n supports.
Community nodes work on self-hosted n8n and on n8n Cloud (Pro plan and above). See n8n’s community-node docs for details.

Install

In your n8n instance:
  1. Open Settings → Community Nodes.
  2. Click Install.
  3. Enter the package name: n8n-nodes-pictify
  4. Accept the prompt and wait for install to complete.
The Pictify node now appears in the node picker.

Connect credentials

  1. Get an API key at pictify.io → Settings → API Keys.
  2. In n8n: Credentials → New → Pictify API.
  3. Paste your API key. Leave Base URL at the default unless you self-host.
  4. Click Test — n8n calls GET /templates to verify the key.
