Reusable image templates
Start with a gallery layout or build a custom template. Pass JSON for the text, images, colors, and brand values that change, and set the required output dimensions on the request.
Browse image templatesHTML to Image
Send HTML when your application already creates the markup. Chromium renders JavaScript, CSS animation, custom fonts, and modern layouts at the viewport dimensions you specify.
Read the HTML-to-image docsURL to Image
Render a webpage when the image should reflect existing online content. Session cookies and basic authentication can establish the page state before Chromium captures it.
Read the URL-to-image docsDraft a template from a description
Describe a social graphic, Open Graph image, or banner to create a starting template. Refine the result through the assistant or open it in the visual editor.
See template generationKeep the design separate from each image's data
Choose a gallery template or create one in the editor, then send the content that changes for each image. The same layout can serve a publishing workflow, catalog, campaign, or report.
- Template gallery: begin with a layout for social posts, podcast covers, banners, or Open Graph images
- Dynamic data: send JSON to change headlines, source images, colors, and branding
- Batch generation: render many records against one maintained template
- Visual editor: arrange and style the image template in the browser
- Generated starting points: describe the required layout, then inspect and refine the template
Where generated images replace repetitive design work
Social posts
Use one branded layout while changing the headline, image, and dimensions for each channel.
Open Graph images
Generate a matching preview from the title and metadata of each article, product, or landing page.
Podcast episode covers
Keep the show design stable while changing episode titles, numbers, guests, and artwork.
Campaign banners
Render the sizes and copy variants required by each campaign from the same source data.
Charts and data graphics
Render visualizations created with ApexCharts, Chart.js, or D3 as files another system can publish.
Webpage captures
Capture a dashboard, report, or webpage for a record, notification, preview, or review workflow.
Change dimensions without rebuilding the template
A shared-link card, square post, portrait post, story, and banner all use different dimensions. Maintaining a separate design for each one creates versions that drift as copy and branding change. In the demo below, the canvas size is a request value and the layout reflows inside it instead of stretching a finished bitmap.
How to prepare a monthly invoice run
Width and height are passed directly in the request, so you never need a new template just to resize. Target a specific element, crop a region, capture the full page or viewport, and increase device scale for crisp high-DPI graphics.
Control the canvas, format, and pixel density
Set the viewport dimensions required by the destination, then use device scale factor 2 or 3 when the same layout needs a denser output for a high-DPI screen.
Choose PNG, JPG, or WebP according to how the file will be used. PNG preserves alpha transparency, while JPG and WebP expose quality controls for photographic or size-sensitive output that does not need transparency.
Capture a full scrollable page, isolate an element, or trim surrounding whitespace without changing the source template.
Choose the output format
Use PNG for transparency, JPG for photographic compatibility, or WebP for a modern compressed format.
Increase device scale
Return two or three times the pixels while keeping the same CSS layout dimensions.
Preserve transparent backgrounds
Generate a PNG with an alpha channel for logos, overlays, stickers, or another composited graphic.
Full-page or trimmed capture
Capture the complete scrollable page or remove unused surrounding whitespace from the output.
Keep content rules in the image template
Social templates with changing content
Put changing text and source images over a maintained branded layout. Render square, landscape, and portrait variants by changing request dimensions instead of keeping three independent design files.
Data visualizations rendered from live values
Draw charts with ApexCharts, Chart.js, or D3 and return the result as an image. Supply current values and client-specific colors on the request rather than exporting the chart by hand.
Give the generated image a stable delivery path
Distribute generated images directly through our global CDN, embed reliable URLs into Open Graph meta tags, or stream image bytes straight to your application without managing storage infrastructure.
- Open Graph metadata: point each page at the image generated from its own title and content
- Email: use a generated graphic in an HTML message without attaching it as a separate file
- CDN delivery: serve the stored asset without routing every request through the application
- Format handling: produce WebP, PNG, or JPG according to the destination's requirements
- Fresh versions: change the request or invalidate the cached result when source content changes
Viewport dimensions
Set the browser width and height, then apply a device scale factor when the output needs more pixels.
PNG, JPG, or WebP
Choose a lossless transparent format or a configurable compressed format according to the delivery target.
Higher pixel density
Set device scale factor 2 or 3 while preserving the template's CSS layout dimensions.
Page readiness
Wait for network idle, DOM content, or a specific CSS selector before the image is captured.
Alpha transparency
Generate a PNG with an alpha channel when the graphic will be placed over another layer.
Nunjucks template logic
Use loops, conditions, and variables in one layout, then populate it with JSON on each request.
Generate the image when its source record changes
A published page needs a preview
When a page is published, render its title and metadata through the Open Graph template, store the result, and place that URL in the page's metadata.
A product record needs several image sizes
Send product data through one branded layout at the dimensions required for thumbnails, detail pages, and hero placements, then route each file to the product workflow.
A changed metric needs visual context
When a dashboard value crosses a threshold, render the current chart as an image and send it to Slack or Teams with the notification that explains the change.
Choose a format from how the image will be used
PNG keeps transparency and hard edges without lossy compression, making it suitable for logos, badges, and graphics with text. JPG suits photographic content and broad consumers, while WebP provides another compressed option for modern delivery targets.
Set compression quality on the request, enable transparency where the format supports it, and change device scale without editing the template. A 1200 × 630 layout rendered at 2x returns 2400 × 1260 pixels while preserving the original CSS dimensions.
Manage fonts as template assets so the browser can load the intended face during rendering. The fidelity fixtures cover right-to-left and mixed scripts, tables, and inline SVG. A preferred color scheme can render light and dark variants from the same template.
PNG for transparency and hard edges
Keep an alpha channel and avoid lossy artifacts around text, logos, and flat shapes.
WebP for modern compressed delivery
Use WebP where the receiving browser or platform supports it and file size is a priority.
Higher density without another layout
Change device scale to increase the output pixel count while leaving the template dimensions alone.
Fonts loaded with the template
Use managed font assets, with right-to-left and multi-script behavior covered by fidelity fixtures.
Route the image without adding a storage handoff
Downloading a generated image only to upload it into the system that owns it adds an avoidable transfer. Forward the file to its destination as part of the render workflow.
The named storage destinations include Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, and DigitalOcean Spaces. Configure your bucket region, object path, storage tier, and access rules directly in the API call, and optionally serve assets from a custom CDN domain.
Signed webhooks report success and failure so the receiving endpoint can verify the sender. The result also remains available through the Jobs API when webhook delivery does not reach its destination.
Forward directly to a storage bucket
Choose among six named providers and set region, path, storage class, and access with the render.
Use a custom CDN hostname
Put the generated asset behind a hostname on your domain when the public URL should carry your brand.
Verify webhook callbacks
Receive signed success and failure notifications and validate the sender at your endpoint.
Keep non-public assets private
Deliver to a private bucket when the generated image should not have a public address.
Avoid rendering an unchanged image again
Reuse an identical result
When the template, data, and render options are unchanged, a repeated request can resolve from the cache instead of creating another copy of the same social card.
Set how long the result stays valid
Choose a cache lifetime that follows how often the source content changes, from a frequently updated price graphic to an evergreen article header.
Invalidate or force a new render
When source data changes before expiry, request a fresh result or invalidate the cache entry. Granular cache controls let you define how renders are keyed, reused, and invalidated.
Run the same template across a large dataset
Render one image for each record
A product catalog, league table, or certificate set can apply different data to the same template. Each finished image counts as one render, with published monthly plans from 1,000 to 100,000.
Queue the batch asynchronously
Receive a job ID for each request and a webhook when the file is ready. Plan throughput against 2 simultaneous renders on the entry tier, 8 on Business, or 25 on Enterprise.
Update the shared template
Keep one maintained copy of the layout in the designer or HTML. Future records use that revision without requiring the calling system to carry another version of the design.
Let unchanged records use the cache
Identical requests can reuse their prior result, so a recurring dataset does not have to regenerate every image when only some records changed.
Questions about image generation
How do I generate an image from HTML?
Send HTML to the image endpoint and choose PNG, JPG, or WebP output. The same endpoint also accepts a webpage URL or stored template ID when the image source already exists elsewhere.
Can I generate retina and HiDPI images?
Yes. Set the device scale factor to 2 or 3 to keep the same layout dimensions while returning two or three times the pixel density.
How do I make Open Graph images for every page?
Create one template with fields for the page title, author, and other metadata. Render it when the page is published, then use the returned URL in that page's og:image meta tag.
Which image formats can I output?
Choose PNG for lossless output and transparency, JPG for photographic content and broad compatibility, or WebP when a smaller modern format fits the delivery target.
Can I get transparent backgrounds?
Yes. PNG output can retain an alpha channel so logos, overlays, and other graphics can sit over a different background.
How do I generate social share images automatically?
Keep the layout and fonts in one template, then send the title, author, and image for each post. The publishing workflow can generate the matching social image without rebuilding the design by hand.
What size should the image be?
Set the dimensions required by the destination on the request rather than creating another template. Common examples are 1080 × 1080 for a square post, 1080 × 1350 for portrait, 1080 × 1920 for a story, and 1200 × 630 for a shared-link card. Increase device scale when the display needs more pixels.
What controls does the renderer expose?
The API provides flexible controls for viewport sizing, page behavior, and result caching. You can customize width, height, device scale factor, and target element selectors on every render.
What does an image cost to produce?
One finished image counts as one render, without another charge for larger canvas dimensions. Plans start at $9 per month for 1,000 renders, and the free account includes 50 without a card.
Does a popular page mean a render per view?
Not when the generated image is cached. Identical parameters can resolve to the cached result instead of creating another render, so page views and newly generated image variants are different units.
