What is Orshot?
Orshot turns a template into an API: generate images, PDFs and videos, auto-publish them to 15+ social platforms, and track how each post performs.
Updated
Orshot is a creative automation and social publishing platform. Design a template once, generate thousands of image, PDF, and video variations from it through the API, SDKs, or no-code tools like Zapier and Make, then publish straight to 15+ social platforms and track how every post performs.
Get started in three steps#
- 1
Get your API key
Create an account and grab your key in under a minute — get your API key. The free plan includes 30 credits, no card required.
- 2
Create a template
Design from scratch in Orshot Studio, start from a library template, or import from Canva or Figma. Mark the parts that change — text, images, colors — as dynamic parameters.
- 3
Generate your first render
Call the API with your template ID and modifications, and Orshot returns the finished file. Every API reference page has a Test this endpoint panel, so you can run it right from the docs.
