Orshot was started in March 2025 by Rishi Mohan in Berlin, Germany. It grew out of a simple observation: teams everywhere were spending hours manually creating visuals that could — and should — be automated.
The idea started from a recurring pattern: teams everywhere needed a way to automate image, PDF and video generation at scale without fighting clunky tools. Orshot became the answer — design a template once, then generate thousands of on-brand visuals via API, no-code tools, or AI agents.
The company is bootstrapped, profitable, and intentionally small. One person builds the product, customers shape the roadmap, and everything ships fast. That focus shows: 80+ product updates in the first year, with features often shipping within 24 hours of a customer request.

What we’re building toward
Images, PDFs and videos should be as programmable as text. Any developer, AI agent, or workflow should be able to produce on-brand graphics in milliseconds — without opening a design tool.
That’s the future we’re working toward: a world where marketing teams focus on creative strategy, not repetitive production. Orshot handles the rest.
