Hi makers! Desperately need your advice. The task is to take an image from a google drive, send it to GPT and get a description in the return. GDrive - download file and GDrive - Get shareable link give me plenty of data, but I can not understand what to do next, how exactly can I upload that jpeg to GPT to process it. I’m stuck. Thank you for your help! ---

Hi [kaidano](https://community.make.com/u/kaidano), If I well understand, you want to download your image in Make, and then get a description with GPT. So I upload a picture in my Google drive, its name is Screenshot 2023-11-08 085732.png In Make, I used the “Google drive” module: Download a file, with the following settings: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/d/f/df50037190b8f8d0b729e1c6666d1119666be319.png) Then I run the module, and I get a quite big bundle: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/5/6/56130f6b7f0943d4093873f51054f3ce06c9151a.png) The picture is in the variable _data_ (in yellow in the picture above), you can use this to feed GPT. Hope this helps, PBI ---

thank you! yes, you’re right. there was another problem. GPT didn’t want to it that field unless it was encoded to base64 ---

How did you solve this encoding problem? Maybe with the function base64()… ---

Yes, with base64(data) function, you’re right! And huge JSON (my brother, who is 80lvl super elf helped me with that Sorry for the delay with the reply. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/0/c/0c017d0ab4a24040b25fdc9cfe47ff8d9c1edcfe.png) ---
