Hello Hunters! I'm glad to share with you something I've been solo-working for a bit now! Templated: a Canva-like editor + image automation. 🎨 + 🤖 You design your template once and render it multiple times with different params using an API or no-code integrations. You can generate social media visuals, banners, business PDFs, invoices, ids, etc... any sort of image or PDF you need to generate in batches. Just plug to our API or user a No-code platform. I hope it's useful for your case and make you save some time on your repetitive design duties 😊

@camposped Congratulations on the launch. I was actually planning to create a presentation in Canva today (slides in video format + sounds). Can I do it with your platform's help?

@kostyadoronin, thank you! Unfortunately we don't offer videos (yet!). We're initially focusing on automating images and PDFs. But please, do try our Editor and let me know if you have any feedback. Appreciate the support!

@dan_mindru thanks for the support! You're a huge inspiration to all us fellow #indiehackers, Dan and it's great to have you here. Keep up the good work and spreading your word!

@kostyadoronin have a look at Shotstack for a video editing API.

It's straightforward to use and also very easy to learn. The idea of the API is brilliant. But I noticed something when I tested your product: It would be good to drag and drop the shapes onto the canvas when playing. At the moment, I have to click on them, and they are always placed in the middle. It would be good if I could position the elements directly as I need them.

@fabian_sattler that's a great feedback, thank you! I'm so used to directly clicking on the component that I didn't think that directly dropping it in place would be a better solution. I've added your suggestion to the roadmap and will implement it soon. Thanks again! 🙏

💎 Pixel perfection
It looks useful for being rich in integrations and developer friendly because of the API! If I have any suggestions, it's to make the copy even more developer focused. Don't use Resources in the menu, call it Developers or Documentation. How about referring to Templated as Canva for developers? Good job and congrats for making a cool product!

@geri_mate that makes total sense! That's something I had on my mind but didn't know it would make sense to others. I will give more emphasis and attention for devs. And loved the "Canva for developers" concept. I will explore that. Appreciate the feedback 🙏

🧐 Good find
Congratulations, looks nice and already a decent selection of templates. Are you planning to add rendering via URLs, or will you stick to API calls. What exactly counts as an an API call, the rendering of a new image or showing an already rendered image? Ps on the pricing page your say 50 free calls to try, on the landing page you say 30 free calls...

@torsten_p Thank you! I'm definitely adding URL renders soon. Should be ready by the end of the month. Each API credit is counted when you render an image or PDF. So let's say you have 5 templates and want to render 20 images for each template. You will use 100 API credits. For each render you will receive the final image URL that you can use download or link directly for as long as you want, no limit on that 👌 PS: Thanks for pointing! You have 50 free credits to try it out. I will adjust the copy on the landing page now.

Was just looking for something exactly like this yesterday and found almost no good API's 😆 Perfect timing and congrats on your launch!!! Landing page looks clear/elegant. Was able to understand it within a second of landing.

This is so cool Pedro! I can think of a thousand applications! 🤩 How does it compare to Banner Bear?

This is a clever idea, especially in concert with programmatic (AI-generated) SEO. cc @thenuka_karunaratne

Thanks @rrhoover! That’s a good idea! I’ve seen so many article generators coming up and pairing it with a template-based image could be a good match. Thanks for the suggestion!
Jeff Shillitto
How is this different from Bannerbear?

Excited to see Templated on Product Hunt! Automating image creation with a simple and versatile API is a game-changer. The Canva like drag & drop editor is huge plus. Can't wait to try it out!

Thanks @mizanme! The Template Editor should be simple enough for anyone to style the template before automating it 🎨
Rafael Tinoco
Wow! That’s pretty cool. Excited to use it and boost the content strategy at Arvo. Nice work, Pedro!

@rfltinoco thank you! Let me know if you need any help with the setup. Glad to assist you to integrate with Arvo 😊

Congratulations, the editor looks pretty smoother
Deeann Wittkopp
Congrats, looks pleasant and as of now a conventional determination of formats. Are you arranging to include rendering by means of URLs, or will you adhere to API calls. What precisely checks as an an API call, the rendering of a modern picture or appearing an as of now rendered picture? Ps on the estimating page your say 50 free calls to undertake, on the landing page you say 30 free calls...

Was fair searching for something precisely like this recently and found nearly no great API's 😆 Culminate timing and congrats on your dispatch!!! Landing page looks clear/elegant. Was able to get it it inside a moment of landing.
