How to upload image to AI Node

How can I upload an image to an AI Agent Node?

If I want to use an OpenRouter AI, how can I simply pass the image to the AI ​​Agent node?

Would sending the base64 directly to the prompt solve the problem?

You also need to make sure the OpenRouter Model supports vision mode, otherwise it will not work

Hi @Luis_Miguel Welcome!
You have to consider what kjooleng have said and please stick with these models listed below:
GPTs above 4o models including.
Gemini 2.5 and higher
Claude Models above 3.7 sonnet

So that you have no quality issue while processing image data, but i would HIGHLY recommend using the GEMINI node for doing image scanning stuff as it is by far the best one i have used.

Yes, base64 approach works! Here’s how:

1. First get your image as base64 using the “Read Binary File” or HTTP node

2. In the AI Agent node, instead of simple text prompt, use this in the message:

{

“role”: “user”,

“content”: [

{

  "type": "image_url",

  "image_url": {

    "url": "data:image/jpeg;base64,{{ $json.data }}"

  }

},

{

  "type": "text", 

  "text": "Your question about the image here"

}

]

}

3. Make sure your OpenRouter model supports vision

(e.g. gpt-4o, claude-3, llava etc.)

Note: AI Agent node doesn’t have a native image input —

you must pass it via the “Messages” parameter manually

using the above structure.
