What you can automate

What can the Mallabe Images Make integration do for you?

The Mallabe Images Make integration lets Make send your pictures through Mallabe Images and hand back the edited result, with no code. You build a scenario, the automation itself, out of modules, and each module does one job: resize, compress, crop, rotate, flip, blur, turn grey or join several images.

Lighter product photos for a web shop. A picture comes in from another app, Resize an Image brings it to the width your pages use, then Compress an Image trims its weight before it goes back to your storage. Two modules, one clean file.

A consistent look for a blog or newsletter. Crop an Image frames the subject, Greyscale an Image gives a whole series the same black and white style, and Join Multiple Images assembles several shots into one visual.

A metadata check before archiving. Get / Extract Image Metadata reads what a file carries so the next module can file it or flag it, and the three Watch triggers let a scenario start from work Mallabe Images has already done.

One honest limit: Make's own documentation for this app is marked as limited, with no official description of each module. Test every module with Run once and read what comes out before relying on it; the Make troubleshooting guide helps when a run fails. Every module run is an operation counted on your plan, and Make pricing explains how that adds up. Weighing another tool? The n8n vs Make comparison sets the criteria side by side.

Connect

How do you connect Mallabe Images to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Mallabe Images module

    In your scenario, click the +, search for Mallabe Images and pick any of its modules. In the module panel, click Create a connection. A connection is your Mallabe Images account linked to Make once, then reused by every module of the app.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize Make

    Give the connection a name if you like, handy when a client and your own team each have an account. Then either approve Make on the Mallabe Images page that opens, or paste the key Mallabe Images gives you. The docs do not say which of the two this app uses.

  3. 03

    Save and check

    Click Save. The connection now shows in the module panel, and any other Mallabe Images module you add later can pick it from the list without asking again.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Mallabe Images

GoalWhen another app hands over a new image, Make resizes it with Mallabe Images, then compresses it before passing it on.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Start with the app where your images arrive, for example your file storage, so each new picture becomes a bundle, one item passed along the chain.

  2. 02

    Add Resize an Image

    Click the + to the right of that first module and pick Resize an Image from Mallabe Images. Click Create a connection if you have not linked your account yet.

  3. 03

    Map the image

    Fill the module fields by mapping the image from the previous module: click a field and choose the item Make shows from the first step. Then set the size you want for your pages.

  4. 04

    Chain Compress an Image

    Add Compress an Image after the resize and map the result of the previous module into it. The file that leaves this step is the one your storage or site will receive.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, drop a test picture where the first module looks, then read the bundles each module received and returned.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch on

    On the first module, open the clock and set the schedule (every 15 minutes by default, 15 minutes at the shortest on the Free plan). Switch the scenario on and it runs by itself from there.

Triggers

Mallabe Images triggers in Make

3 modules start a scenario when something happens in Mallabe Images. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Mallabe Images as soon as it happens.

Mallabe Images1Watch Compressed Images

Watch Compressed Images

triggerIn the docs only

Watch Compressed Images gives you a way to start a scenario from images that have gone through compression in Mallabe Images, judging by its name. The documentation does not describe what it returns, so the first test run is what tells you which data each bundle carries.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks the app on the scenario's schedule, and the module shows a clock badge.
When to use it
you want a follow-up step, such as storing or sharing a file, once a compression has been done.
Watch out
Make lists this module in its documentation only, with no official description; confirm with Run once that it picks up what you expect.
Mallabe Images2Watch Image Metadata

Watch Image Metadata

triggerIn the docs only

Watch Image Metadata lets a scenario begin from the metadata side of Mallabe Images, as its name suggests, instead of from the image files themselves. Make gives no official description here, so treat the first bundles you receive as the reference for what the trigger delivers.

How it fires
scheduled. Make polls the app each time the scenario's schedule comes round.
When to use it
your process sorts or logs pictures according to what their metadata says.
Watch out
each bundle it returns feeds the next modules, and every module run on a bundle is an operation counted on your plan.
Mallabe Images3Watch Resized Images

Watch Resized Images

triggerIn the docs only

Watch Resized Images opens a scenario on the output of a resize in Mallabe Images, going by its name, so the resized picture can move on to another app. Because the documentation stays silent on its settings, open the module and read the fields Make shows once your connection exists.

How it fires
scheduled. Make asks the app for new items at the rhythm set on the scenario.
When to use it
resized visuals should land in a shared folder or a publishing tool without a manual download.
Watch out
on the Free plan a scheduled run cannot come more often than every 15 minutes.
Modules

Mallabe Images modules in Make

Mallabe Images gives you 10 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Mallabe Images1

Blur an Image

ActionIn the docs only

Blur an Image softens a picture inside the scenario, which is handy when a background, a face or a detail should not stay sharp in the published version.

When to use it
preparing team photos or screenshots for a public page where some parts must stay unreadable.
Watch out
run a test and look at the returned image before switching on; the docs do not describe the blur settings.
Mallabe Images2

Compress an Image

ActionIn the docs only

Compress an Image makes a file lighter so your pages load faster and your storage fills up more slowly, without a trip through a desktop editor.

When to use it
right before an image goes to a web shop, a blog or an email tool.
Watch out
on the Free plan Make handles files up to 5 MB, so check the weight of your originals before they reach this module.
Mallabe Images3

Crop an Image

ActionIn the docs only

Crop an Image cuts a picture down to the part that matters, so every visual in a series keeps the same framing without anyone redrawing the selection by hand.

When to use it
product shots or portraits that must fit the same card or thumbnail format on your site.
Watch out
pictures of different shapes react differently to the same crop, so test with a few real files.
Mallabe Images4

Flip an Image

ActionIn the docs only

Flip an Image turns a picture into its mirror version, useful when a visual faces the wrong way for the layout it is going into.

When to use it
a banner template expects the subject to look toward the text, and the photos you receive face the other side.
Watch out
a flip also mirrors any text or logo in the picture, so keep it away from branded visuals.
Mallabe Images5

Get / Extract Image Metadata

ActionIn the docs only

Get / Extract Image Metadata reads the information stored with a picture and passes it to the next modules, so a scenario can decide what to do with each file instead of treating them all alike.

When to use it
before archiving, to name, sort or flag images according to what they carry.
Watch out
the docs do not list which metadata comes back; read the output of a Run once before mapping it.
Mallabe Images6

Greyscale an Image

ActionIn the docs only

Greyscale an Image removes the colour from a picture and returns a black and white version, a quick way to give a whole series one consistent style.

When to use it
a team page, a press kit or a newsletter section where every portrait should look alike.
Watch out
keep the colour original somewhere in the flow, since the scenario passes on only the grey result.
Mallabe Images7

Join Multiple Images

ActionIn the docs only

Join Multiple Images assembles several pictures into a single one, which saves building collages or comparison visuals by hand for each new batch.

When to use it
a before and after visual, a product shown from several angles, or a grid for a social post.
Watch out
the module needs several images at once, so check with Run once how your earlier modules hand them over.
Mallabe Images8

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the Mallabe Images API from your scenario, using the same connection as the other modules, so you are not stuck when the listed modules stop short.

When to use it
an image treatment exists in Mallabe Images but has no dedicated module in Make.
Watch out
this one asks you to know the API request you need, which is a step more technical than the other modules.
Mallabe Images9

Resize an Image

ActionIn the docs only

Resize an Image changes the dimensions of a picture so it fits exactly where it is going, whether a product page, a thumbnail or an email header.

When to use it
photos arrive straight from a camera or a phone and are far too big for your site.
Watch out
resize first and compress second; running both modules adds two operations per image to your count.
Mallabe Images10

Rotate an Image

ActionIn the docs only

Rotate an Image turns a picture so it sits the right way up, sparing you from fixing sideways scans or phone shots one by one.

When to use it
receipts, delivery notes or field photos sent by a team often arrive at an angle.
Watch out
the docs do not describe the rotation settings, so check with Run once on a few real files that each one ends up the right way up.

FAQ

Mallabe Images and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Mallabe Images Make integration free?
Yes, on Make's side. Mallabe Images is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a scheduled run every 15 minutes at the shortest, up to 5 minutes per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) bring the interval down to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and count usage in credits per month. Whatever Mallabe Images itself charges is a separate matter to check with the app.
02What do you need to connect Mallabe Images to Make?
A Mallabe Images account and a Make account. Make's documentation gives no specific prerequisite for this app, so the generic steps apply: add a Mallabe Images module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, authorize Make on the app's page or paste the key the app provides, then click Save. The connection is created once and every Mallabe Images module in your scenarios can reuse it. If access is refused, look at your account settings on the Mallabe Images side first.
03Do Mallabe Images triggers fire instantly in Make?
No. The three triggers, Watch Compressed Images, Watch Image Metadata and Watch Resized Images, are scheduled: Make checks the app each time the scenario's schedule comes round, and the module carries a clock badge. A new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default. On the Free plan that is also the shortest interval, while paid plans allow a check every minute. Note that these types are inferred from the module names, as Make lists the triggers without describing them.
04What if a Mallabe Images module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the Mallabe Images API with the connection you already set up, so a treatment without its own module can still run inside your scenario. It does assume you know the request to send. Keep in mind that Make marks its documentation for this app as limited, with no description per module, so test each module with Run once and read the bundles it returns before building on it.
05Make or n8n for Mallabe Images?
It depends on your criteria rather than on the app. On Make, Mallabe Images offers 13 modules: 3 scheduled triggers, 10 actions including Make an API Call, all usable from the Free plan and assembled visually in the scenario editor. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether one exists for Mallabe Images and what it covers before choosing. Compare the modules you actually need, how each tool counts usage and who will maintain the scenarios; the n8n vs Make comparison on this site lays those criteria out.
