Templated - API for Automated Image, Video and PDF Generation

# Templated > Templated is an API-first platform for automated image, video and PDF generation. Design a template once in a drag-and-drop editor, then render unlimited variations via a simple REST API or no-code integrations. Key facts: - **API base URL:** `https://api.templated.io` — the main endpoint is `POST /v1/render`, which receives a template ID and a `layers` object with per-layer overrides (text, images, colors, fonts, position, visibility). - **Authentication:** Bearer token in the `Authorization` header (`Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`). API keys are available in the dashboard under "API Integration". - **Output formats:** JPG, PNG (including transparent), WebP, multi-page PDF, and MP4 video (up to 90 seconds at up to 60 FPS, with CSS animations and video layers). - **Template editor:** drag-and-drop editor with text, image, shape, QR code, barcode and HTML layers, an AI template generator, Canva import, and a gallery of ready-made templates. - **No-code integrations:** Zapier, Make, n8n, Bubble and Airtable, plus form webhooks (Google Forms, Tally, Typeform). - **MCP integration:** official MCP server so ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other AI tools can create renders directly. - **White-label embedded editor:** embed the template editor in your own application (Scale plan and above). - **Pricing:** free trial with 50 render credits, no credit card required; paid plans start at $39/month (1,000 render credits).
