# Image, PDF and Video Automation for Agencies

> Orshot gives agencies one API and workspace per client to generate on-brand images, PDFs and videos from templates, resize them for every channel, and publish them to client social accounts, through the API, n8n, Make, Zapier or AI agents. Free plan with 100 credits every month.

## At a glance

- **One workspace per client:** separate brand assets, templates, API keys, social accounts and render logs, so one client never sees another. The number of workspaces and seats grows with the plan ([pricing](https://orshot.com/pricing.md)).
- **Free plan:** 100 credits every month, no card. Paid plans from $39 a month.
- **Usage:** 24.7k+ people have signed up.
- **Volume:** about 105.4k images, PDF pages and video seconds rendered a month.
- **Time to first render:** Half of new users who render do it within 14 minutes of signing up, and a quarter within 5 minutes.
- **Formats:** PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF, MP4, WebM and GIF from the same automation flow (video on paid plans).

## When to use it

- **Content automation for client work:** turn a campaign brief, sheet row, CRM update or client request into finished images, PDFs, videos and social posts.
- **Ad creative automation without the design queue:** approved variants for each channel, generated from controlled fields.
- **Social media automation per client:** publish or schedule to Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Facebook and more, with each account scoped to the right client workspace (social add-on).
- **AI drafts with brand guardrails:** agents make first drafts over MCP, then you lock the parts that matter in the template.
- **A client portal:** embed Studio or a controlled generator under your own brand with the React and Vue SDKs.

### 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))

### 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))

### When it is not the right fit

- One-off campaign art with no repeat: a designer and a design tool are enough.
- A CRM or project management tool: Orshot sits next to those and handles the branded output they were never built to make.

## What agencies use

| Need | How Orshot handles it |
| --- | --- |
| Client separation | A workspace per client, brand and campaign environment, with workspace transfer when a client takes ownership |
| Every channel size | Smart Resize adapts approved templates into Stories, square posts, ads, thumbnails and OG images |
| AI first drafts | Claude, Cursor, Codex and other MCP clients generate editable campaign templates from a brief |
| Production | Render from the API, SDKs, n8n, Make, Zapier, a sheet, a form or a webhook |
| Sign-off | Clients approve each template before their automation renders it (approval flows, on Scale plans) |
| Team | Workspace-level roles for designers, developers, account managers and clients |
| Delivery | S3, R2, Dropbox, Google Drive, or posted to connected social accounts |

## How it works

1. Create a client workspace and add the client brand kit.
2. Generate a campaign template with an agent, or start from the template library, then mark the fields that change.
3. Resize it for every channel, automate the render with `POST https://api.orshot.com/v1/studio/render` or a no-code workflow, and publish through the client's connected accounts.

## FAQ

### Can each client have its own brand assets and social accounts?

Yes. Each client gets a separate workspace for brand assets, templates, API keys, connected channels and render history, and your team switches between them without mixing anything.

### Can clients edit or approve the work?

Yes. Embed Studio or a controlled generator in your client portal, invite clients with workspace-level roles, and on Scale plans use approval flows so a template is approved before automation renders it.

### Can a client take over their workspace later?

Yes. Workspaces can be transferred when a client needs to take ownership.
