Image generation API

Ship image generation. Not image infrastructure.

The image generation API for developers — render OG images, certificates and ad creatives from reusable templates with one REST call. PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF — in under 2 seconds.

Live in an afternoon

Open a template's playground, tweak parameters, copy the working request — your API key already filled in.

Your stack, five lines

First-party SDKs for Node, Python, Ruby and PHP. Raw REST for everything else.

Every format, one parameter

PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF — switch via a single parameter, no re-uploads, no re-designs.

More than a URL back

Auto-post to 15+ social platforms or pipe renders to your own S3 — in the same API call.

Developer experience

Five lines of code. Any language.

Install the SDK, pass your template ID and modifications, get back an image URL. REST, Node.js, Python, Ruby and PHP — pick your stack.

import { Orshot } from 'orshot';
const orshot = new Orshot(process.env.ORSHOT_API_KEY);

const { url } = await orshot.renderFromStudioTemplate({
  templateId: 1234,
  modifications: {
    title: 'Flash Sale — 50% Off Everything',
    hero_image: 'https://example.com/product.jpg',
  },
  response: { type: 'url', format: 'png' },
});

Design

Anyone designs the template. You ship the endpoint.

Founders and designers own the look in Orshot Studio — or import what’s already designed in Canva or Figma. Mark any layer dynamic and it becomes a parameter in your API call. No design handoff, no asset exports, no drift.

  • Mark any layer dynamic — text, images, colors, fonts, styles
  • Import from Canva or Figma instead of rebuilding designs
  • Brand kit locks logos, fonts and colors across every render
  • Templates stay editable — design changes never touch your code

Integrate

Test with real data. Copy the working request.

Every template has a quick-connect sheet — API key and template ID pre-filled, the exact request body ready to tweak and run. Copy it as cURL, an SDK snippet or an n8n node — no documentation archaeology, no guessing at payload shapes.

  • Full request body pre-filled — tweak values, run it from the sheet
  • Copy as cURL, SDK snippet, dynamic URL or webhook
  • Connect the same template to n8n, Make, Zapier or the MCP server
  • Test against a live preview in the playground before you write code

Production

Every render logged. Nothing to babysit.

Each render lands in a searchable log with preview, format and source — debug a bad payload without re-running your pipeline. The same engine powers automated image generation across the whole visual automation platform.

  • Log and gallery views, filterable by template, status, format and source
  • Sub-2-second renders, CDN-backed delivery, 99.98% uptime
  • Signed URLs for tamper-proof, time-limited delivery
  • Render to your own S3, R2, Dropbox or Google Drive
Who it's for

One image API. Four ways teams ship it.

For developers

Retire the screenshot stack

OG images, email banners, receipt cards — render them from a template instead of maintaining Puppeteer, headless Chrome and a render queue. One endpoint, typed SDKs, done.

For founders

Ship the visuals users share

Personalized social-proof cards, milestone images, launch graphics — the features that market your product for you, built in a day without a design hire.

For automation engineers

Same template, every flow

Call the template from n8n, Make, Zapier or an MCP agent using the same template ID your code uses — no duplicate assets, no drift between workflows.

For marketers

Variants without the design queue

Swap copy, images and colors per variant from a sheet or the playground — every render stays locked to brand, no designer in the loop.

Capabilities

Everything your image pipeline needs, built in.

AI content, multi-page renders, publishing, storage — the pieces you'd otherwise glue together yourself ship with the API.

SDKs for every stack

Node, Python, Ruby and PHP. Official, maintained, typed.

AI at render time

Use the .prompt suffix to generate text and images on the fly.

Multi-page images

Render carousels and multi-page templates in one request.

Auto-publish

Post the render to Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and 10+ others in the same call.

Dynamic URLs

Render from URL params — great for email, Slack and transactional images.

Bring your own storage

Pipe renders straight to your S3 or R2 bucket. We never keep a copy.
