With Templates OnYour automation fires<br>The data hits the API<br>A finished file comes back<br>One template powers thousands of files. The design never moves. Only the data does — and you never touch it.

Three steps. Then it runs itself.<br>You set the design up front. After that, your automations do the work.<br>Build the template once<br>Lay out your invoice, certificate, social image, or report the way you want it. Mark the parts that change, like a name, a total, or a photo, as fields.

Connect your automation<br>Send the data from Zapier, n8n, Make, or a single API call. Triggered by a new order, a form submission, a webhook, or a row in a sheet.

Get the finished file<br>A ready-to-use image or PDF comes back in seconds. Perfectly on brand, every time, with zero design work.

Bulk rendering<br>One spreadsheet in. Hundreds of files out.<br>Most render APIs stop at one file per request. Send an array of records to a bulk endpoint and get back one PNG or PDF per record — up to a thousand at a time, in the same call. It meters as a single bulk job, not a thousand API requests.<br>See bulk rendering →<br>POST /api/v1/bulk-image<br>"templateId": "tpl_123",<br>"records": [<br>{ "name": "Alice", "amount": "120.00" },<br>{ "name": "Bob", "amount": "85.50" }
