## In their own words

- **Thomas Tran**, Founder, Creabud (Template Automation): "Switched from Templated.io to Orshot a few months ago and i must say, literally everything is better , editor, API, brand tokens, animations. Really the tool I was looking for." https://creabud.com/
- **Ibby Syed**, Founder, Cotera.co (AI Agents): "Orshot is awesome. The biggest problem with AI driven dynamic image/document generation is that it's very very difficult to get it to be repetitive/update a template each time. Orshot fixes that. You can import a Canva or Figma document and "paramaterize" images, text, and more Cotera's AI then dynamically updates and generates those templates via AI agents" https://cotera.co
- **Alex Siale**, Founder, Render Studio (Real-Estate): "My brands can now post 100 times per day on auto-pilot thanks to Orshot.

## When to use Orshot

### Social media automation

- **Automate social media posts end to end:** social media automation that generates each post from a template, then publishes it or lets you schedule social media posts to Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok and 11 more platforms from the same API call or workflow (social publishing is a paid add-on). ([more](https://orshot.com/features/social-publishing.md))
- **Bulk create social media posts** from a spreadsheet: an Instagram post generator, Instagram carousel generator and LinkedIn carousel generator in one, making one post, carousel or story per row of Google Sheets or Airtable instead of designing each one by hand. ([more](https://orshot.com/integrations/no-code.md))
- **Instagram automation with n8n, Make or Zapier:** auto post to Instagram, automate LinkedIn posts and run n8n social media automation on a schedule, with a fresh image or video rendered for each post. ([more](https://orshot.com/integrations/automation.md))
- **Recurring posts from your data:** real estate social media posts for every new listing, a quote image generator for weekly quote cards, product launches, event announcements and results graphics. ([more](https://orshot.com/templates.md))

### Image generation

- **Image generation API for templates:** an image API where you send the template ID and the values that change (text, photos, colors) and get back a PNG, JPG or WebP. For bulk image generation, render one image per row from a spreadsheet, a workflow, the CLI or an AI agent. ([more](https://orshot.com/solutions/image-generation-api.md))
- **OG image generator** for every blog post, docs page or product: render the Open Graph image automatically from your CMS, including Framer, Webflow and WordPress. ([more](https://orshot.com/integrations/automation.md))
- **Banner generator, YouTube thumbnail generator and ad creatives in every size:** design once and Smart Resize re-lays out the same design for each format, so ad creative automation does not mean redrawing each size. ([more](https://orshot.com/solutions/banner-generation-api.md))
- **Ecommerce product images and personalized images:** promo banners for every product in your Shopify catalog, or a personalized image per contact for email and CRM campaigns. ([more](https://orshot.com/integrations/e-commerce.md))

### PDF generation

- **PDF generation API:** automate PDF generation for invoices, reports, proposals and one-pagers from a template, multi-page. It works as an invoice generator API without maintaining an HTML to PDF API and its print CSS. ([more](https://orshot.com/solutions/pdf-generation-api.md))
- **Bulk certificate generator and Google Sheets to PDF:** one certificate, badge or ticket per attendee row, from Google Sheets or Airtable. ([more](https://orshot.com/integrations/no-code.md))

### Design editor inside your own app

- **White-label design editor for your app (Orshot Embed):** every paid workspace can embed the Orshot editor in its own product with an iframe or the React and Vue components, so your customers edit templates right inside your app. It works as a design editor SDK, photo editor SDK and white label video editor in one, instead of building a Canva clone (from $39 a month). ([more](https://orshot.com/features/orshot-embed.md))
- **Programmatic control of the embedded editor:** listen to editor events for every save and download, get webhooks when users create, update or delete templates, drive the editor from your code, add your own toolbar buttons, and render every design through the API. Each end user gets a private template library behind JWT sessions, locked to your domains (from $160 a month, up to 1,500 end users). Teams use it as an IMG.LY alternative or Polotno alternative. ([more](https://orshot.com/features/orshot-embed.md))

### AI agents

- **Content automation with AI agents:** Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor generate images, PDFs and videos from your templates over MCP, so automated content creation stays on brand. ([more](https://orshot.com/agents.md))
