Renders Usage

Each template in Orshot has a specific render cost that determines how many renders are consumed per API request. The render usage depends on the complexity and configuration of your template.

How Renders are Calculated (for Studio Templates)

The number of renders used for each template is based on:

1 Image/PDF = 2 Renders

This is the base calculation. For example:

• Single-page template = 2 renders per request
• Multi-page/carousel template with 3 pages = 6 renders per request (2 renders × 3 pages)

So if you have a carousel template with multiple pages, each page counts as 2 renders.

Finding Render Usage for Your Template

You can easily check how many renders a template will use in the Template Playground page.

The render usage is displayed in the "Renders Usage" section, which shows exactly how many renders will be consumed each time you generate content from that template.

Where to Find It

1. Open your template in Orshot Studio
2. Navigate to the Playground tab
3. Look for the "Renders Usage" label
4. The number shown (e.g., "Uses 2 renders") indicates the render cost per API request

Examples

• Simple image template: Uses 2 renders
• 3-page carousel template: Uses 6 renders (2 × 3 pages)
• 5-page document template: Uses 10 renders (2 × 5 pages)
