Template Editor

Design saved image templates in the dashboard, then render them through the API.

Open Dashboard Browse Presets Templates API


The Template Editor is for building image templates visually. Add blocks, style them, connect template variables, then render the saved template through the API.

Use the editor when you want a reusable layout but do not want to write the whole design by hand in HTML and CSS. For a fast example, start from the template presets or open the template playground.

Open it from the dashboard by creating or editing a template. The canvas is the image area, the left sidebar adds blocks, and the right sidebar changes depending on whether you are editing a block, the canvas, or variables.

How it fits with the API

Templates made in the editor are saved templates. After saving, use the template id and pass template_values when generating images.

The editor manages the design structure for you. In the API, you work with the saved template, its variables, and the rendered image.

You do not need to work with the editor’s internal structure directly.
