AI-Powered Image & Document Generation

Design with AI. Render with an API.
Scale without limits.

Describe a template in plain English or upload a screenshot — AI builds it for you. Then render personalized images and PDFs at any scale via REST API or embeddable GET URLs. Smart Cover keeps faces in frame. Rich text gives you per-character typographic control.

Three ways AI accelerates your workflow

Whether you start from a text prompt, an existing design, or a photo — AI handles the heavy lifting so you can ship faster.

Text to Template

Describe what you need in plain English and AI builds a production-ready template — layers, positions, fonts, and API bindings included.

AI Prompt

Three ways AI accelerates your workflow

From natural language prompts to image analysis and intelligent cropping — AI handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on shipping.

Describe It, Build It

Natural Language to Template

Tell the AI what you need in plain English — "Create a social card with a headline, logo, and gradient background" — and get an editable, API-ready template in seconds. Refine with follow-up prompts or jump into the visual editor.

How it works
Prompt"A certificate with name, date, and QR code"
ResultEditable template with dynamic layers

Upload It, Edit It

AI Vision Import

Upload a screenshot, mockup, or PDF and AI analyzes the layout — detecting text, images, positions, and relationships — to auto-generate an editable template. Go from design file to API-renderable template instantly.

How it works
InputScreenshot, mockup, or PDF
OutputStructured template with detected elements

AI Focal Point Detection

AI detects faces and key subjects in your images, then automatically positions them at designer-specified anchor points. Subjects are never cropped out by overlapping text or graphics — no manual adjustment needed.

API-First Image & PDF Generation

Why developers choose RenderStack

Generating polished, brand-consistent images and PDFs programmatically is hard. RenderStack gives you a visual editor to design pixel-perfect templates, and a simple API to render them with dynamic data at any scale.

Design Visually, Render via API

Pixel-perfect image and PDF layouts need a visual editor, not code. Design templates with precise control over typography, spacing, and branding — then render them as PNG, JPEG, or multi-page PDF via API.

AI Template Creation

Upload any image or PDF and AI analyzes the layout to auto-generate an editable template — detecting text, images, positions, and relationships. Go from screenshot to working template in seconds, then refine visually.

Embeddable Dynamic URLs

Generate images via GET request with query parameters and embed them directly in HTML img tags. Dot-notation overrides, built-in caching, rate limiting, and allowed host controls — all out of the box.

Works with Any Stack

A standard REST API that any language, framework, or tool can call. Pass dynamic data as JSON overrides and get back PNG, JPEG, or PDF — no browser or canvas runtime required.

Images, PDFs & More

Generate social cards, product images, certificates, invoices, multi-page PDF reports, and more. Design the template once, then render personalized versions on demand in any format.

Rich Text Formatting

Style individual words and characters differently within a single text frame — bold, italic, colors, highlights, superscripts, mixed fonts — all controlled through the API. One text field, unlimited typographic control.

Explore Rich Text Features

Deterministic Output

Your curated template is the source of truth. The output is pixel-perfect, consistent, and brand-safe — every single time. No surprises, no layout drift.

Core rendering engine

From visual design to API-driven rendering, RenderStack handles the entire image generation pipeline.

Visual Template Editor

Drag-and-drop canvas editor with text, images, shapes, SVGs, and QR codes. Define dynamic layers with API names for programmatic control.

REST API Rendering

Generate images programmatically via sync or async endpoints. Override any layer with custom data per render. Supports PNG, JPEG, and PDF output.

Auto-Layout Containers

Flexbox-powered containers that automatically reflow content when elements hide or change size. No more manual layout fixes.

Fallback Chains

Declare ordered fallback strategies for missing data — API data, initials, defaults, or hide — all without any client-side logic.

Repeater Elements

Render 1 to N items from a single template. Speakers, products, team members — one template handles any count dynamically.

Non-Blocking Renders

Broken image URLs produce warnings, not errors. Renders continue gracefully with fallback behavior and automatic recovery.

Smart Cover

AI-powered image positioning that detects faces and key subjects, then aligns them to your chosen focal point — so subjects are never cropped out by overlapping content.

Conditional Visibility

Show or hide any layer based on incoming data. Build one template that adapts to different contexts — no duplicates needed.

Dynamic QR Codes

Generate QR codes on the fly as part of your render. Pass any URL or text value via the API and the code is embedded directly in the output image.

Linked Font Sizes

Keep auto-sized text consistent across frames. Group frames to one uniform size and size frames relative to another — ideal for multi-speaker event cards where names stay matched and titles stay proportional, no matter how long the text.

How it works

Two paths to the same powerful API — choose yours

AI-Powered Path

01

Describe or Upload

Use natural language or upload an image. AI generates your template with proper layers, pinning, and dynamic fields.

02

Refine & Configure

Edit visually, set dynamic fields, add visibility rules and logic. Refine conversationally — "make the headline bigger", "add a logo top-right".

03

Render via API

POST or GET. PNG, JPEG, or PDF at any scale. Same powerful API endpoint.

Manual Path

01

Design Visually

Drag-and-drop editor with full creative control. Add text, images, shapes, SVGs, and QR codes. Mark layers as dynamic.

02

Configure Logic

Set visibility rules, fallback chains, auto-layout containers, and repeater elements. Define what happens when data is missing.

03

Render via API

Same powerful API endpoint. POST or GET. PNG, JPEG, or PDF at any scale.

Both paths converge at the same production-grade rendering API — choose AI speed or manual precision.

Two ways to render

Use the REST API for server-side rendering, or embed dynamic image URLs directly in your HTML.

POST API

Sync & async rendering

POST /api/v1/renders/sync
{
"templateId": "tmpl_abc123",
"overrides": {
"title": { "text": "Hello World" },
"avatar": { "src": "https://..." }
},
"format": "png"
}
  • Sync and async render endpoints
  • PNG, JPEG, and PDF output
  • Optional AWS S3 auto-upload

GET Dynamic URLs

Embed in img tags

<img> tag embedding
<img src="
/api/v1/render
?template=tmpl_abc
&key=rs_get_xyz
&title.text=Hello
&title.fill=%23ff0000
" />
  • Dot-notation layer overrides
  • Built-in caching & rate limiting
  • Allowed hosts access control

Security & reliability

Built with production workloads in mind. Every layer of the platform is designed for safety and stability.

Scoped API keys

Four permission levels — master, project, read-only, and GET — so you only expose the access each integration needs.

Allowed hosts

Restrict GET dynamic URL access to specific domains, wildcard subdomains, IPs, or CIDR ranges. Fail-closed by default.

Rate limiting

In-memory sliding window rate limiter — 60 req/min per key, 30 req/min per IP. Cache hits count at reduced weight.

Encrypted credentials

AWS S3 credentials encrypted with AES-256-GCM before database storage. Keys never stored in plaintext.

Non-blocking errors

Broken assets produce warnings, not failures. Renders complete with fallback behavior and detailed error reporting.

Full audit trail

Every action — renders, key changes, template edits, auth events — is logged in the activity log with 90-day retention.
