While building text-heavy image workflows in n8n, I kept hitting the same limitation in the built-in Edit Image node — especially around longer text overlays and the well-known Stream yields empty buffer behavior.
So instead of working around it again and again, I built a dedicated community node:
VMTech Edit Image
Package: n8n-nodes-vmtech-edit-image
It’s designed as a practical modern alternative for image editing inside n8n, with:
-
multi-step processing
-
better text overlay handling
-
support for custom fonts
-
extended image editing capabilities

If you were blocked by the built-in image node for serious image generation workflows, this should be much easier to work with.
Feedback is very welcome.
