N8N Crashes when uploading BMP or TIFF image to ai-agent

Hi all! new user of n8n! :slight_smile: .

Describe the problem/error/question

I am working on a workflow that processes image files by extracting relevant information. however, N8N crashes (memory spike) whenever I try to upload TIFF, BMP, or GIF files into my workflow. The workflow is designed to process images using LLM models, and it works perfectly with JPEG and PNG files.

What is the error message (if any)?

n8n may have run out of memory while running this execution

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Hi,

By default everything is kept in memory so for TIFF and BMP I’m sure there is no or little compression. GIF undecided. Do you process many at 1 time?
there is an image node. Maybe you can try to covert them, if that’s an option (or use an API
