Generate Images With API

CraftMyPDF supports RESTful API integration. The integration with REST API makes it easy to auto generate images in your application.

Product shots with pricing, personalised email headers, Open Graph previews, event badges — each is one design repeated with different data. Generate them as PNG or JPEG straight from your records, at the dimensions each channel expects.

Design the template once in our drag-and-drop editor, then POST your JSON — your images come back with tables, images, barcodes and QR codes rendered from your data. Any language that speaks HTTP works, with no PDF library to maintain.

Use CraftMyPDF Integration to Generate Images With API

Three simple steps to automate your document or image generation with any programming language:

  1. Design your template once in our drag-and-drop editor — add your text, images, tables and barcodes.
  2. Send us your data and tell us which template to use — from your own app, or from Zapier or Make.com.
  3. Your finished PDF or image comes straight back, ready to store, email or print.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does making images from data with the API work?

Design the image once in the editor and leave the parts that change as blank fields. Then send one record and get back a PNG or JPEG with that record's text and pictures filled in. One template covers every record, so a product list, a mailing list or a guest list turns into a folder of finished images without a designer touching any of them.

What kinds of images do people make this way?

Four come up most often: product photos with the current price on them, email headers with the reader's name, preview images for blog posts and landing pages when they are shared on social media, and event badges with the guest's name and company. It suits anything where the layout stays the same and only the content changes.

Can I make a different size for each place the image goes?

Yes. The size is set in the template, so the same product record can become a wide image for a web page, a square for social media and a tall one for stories. Each size is its own template reading the same data, and nothing has to be resized by hand.

Where do the finished images end up?

Normally the API gives you a link to the file that you can use right away. If you would rather keep the files in your own storage, the enterprise features include a bring-your-own-storage option that saves images straight into your S3 bucket, which is useful for sites that serve thousands of product or preview images from their own CDN.

Who uses this?

Online shops for product images with prices on them, marketing teams for email headers and social previews, and event teams for badges, where the ticket template is a handy starting point. The industries pages show the usual assets and workflow for each. To try the editor without an account, the free PDF tools include an event badge maker that works in the browser.

How many images can I make for free?

The free plan gives you 50 PDFs a month with no credit card, and images use the same monthly credits. That is enough to set up a template and make a test batch before you pay. For everything else the editor and API can do, including image output and formatting, see features.
