Quickstart guide

Get from zero to a rendered image in a couple of minutes.

1. Clone a starter template

The fastest way to a working template: open Templates → New Template → Browse Starter Templates and click one.

It’s cloned into your account and opens in the editor — tweak it or use it as-is. Copy your new Template ID from the editor URL or the templates list.

Then create an API key (step 2) and render it in seconds with POST /api/generate (see Generate API), passing your Template ID plus any layer overrides.

Want a public, no-auth image URL instead?

A cloned template is private by default, so first enable App → URL Access (allow all domains or whitelist yours), then use the public /api/render URL.

Or build a template from scratch

  • Navigate to Templates → New Template
  • Choose a preset (e.g., OG Image 1200×630px)
  • Add layers with semantic names: title, subtitle, logo
  • Save the template and note your Template ID

2. Create an API key

Go to App → API Keys → Create New Key to generate your authentication token.
