Response Format

Choose your output file type — PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, PDF, MP4, WebM, or GIF

The responseFormat (or response.format in the Studio API) sets the file type of your rendered output.

Image Formats#

Format	Best For
`png`	Graphics with transparency (default)
`webp`	Smaller file size, modern browsers
`jpg`	Photos, smaller file size
`jpeg`	Same as `jpg`
`avif`	Best compression, modern browsers

Document Formats#

Format	Best For
`pdf`	Certificates, invoices, print materials

Video Formats#

Format	Best For
`mp4`	Social media, general purpose
`webm`	Web-optimized video
`gif`	Short loops, thumbnails

Video formats require templates with video elements. See Video Generation for details.

Example#

const response = await orshot.renderFromTemplate({
  templateId: "your-template-id",
  responseType: "url",
  responseFormat: "webp", // [!code highlight]
  modifications: {
    title: "Hello World",
  },
});
