What we shipped.

Every Google font you choose now renders in that exact typeface, instead of falling back to a default sans-serif. The font is embedded server-side before each render, so your text comes out looking exactly as designed — and existing templates pick this up automatically, with no change to how you call the API.

Pass a third-party image or SVG URL as a variable and it now renders — {"logo":{"src":"https://cdn.example.com/x.jpg"}} on POST, or ?logo.src=… on the URL endpoint. Images from a host whose CORS policy doesn’t include our origin used to fail the whole render; we now fetch the image server-side and serve it from our own origin, so those images load too.

QR-code and barcode variables can now be set by their friendly layer name in the API, the same as text and image fields — {"qr":{"text":"https://…"}}. Previously they only responded to the element ID.

Browse ready-made templates by size or search, open any of them with “Use this template”, and start rendering through the API in minutes. Every template page is shareable.

Subscribe a URL to render.completed and batch.completed events — HMAC-signed, with full CRUD at /v1/webhooks. Built REST-hooks style, so Zapier and Make subscriptions plug straight in.

The editor now keeps automatic checkpoints of your design while you work. Open History in the topbar to restore any earlier version — restores are checkpointed too, so they are undoable.

Set an optional requests-per-minute cap on any API token and see each token’s request volume for the last 24 hours and 30 days — straight from the tokens page.

When a bulk render finishes, the owner gets a summary email — rendered and failed counts, plus a link straight to the results.

Pass lang=es and every text layer renders in that language — no need to re-send your copy. On the URL endpoint it is just ?lang=es; on POST, {"lang":"es"}. 70+ languages, self-hosted and cached.

Editing a template now invalidates its cached renders on save, so dashboard thumbnails and API responses reflect the new design right away instead of serving the old image until the cache expired.

The whole console — navigation, designs, jobs, tokens, account — now works comfortably on phones. The design editor remains desktop-only and says so instead of rendering broken.

Rendered images are now stored durably in object storage, fronted by a fast 15-day cache — so your generated image URLs stay available long-term, with no change to how you call the API.

Renders default to PNG, but you can now request other formats: pass format=webp (or jpeg/avif) for much smaller files, or format=pdf for certificates and print. Add quality=1–100 for the lossy formats.

Add a language to any text field and it renders translated. In the editor, translate the whole template in one click with a searchable language picker. In the API, pass "lang" with any text. Self-hosted, cached, and the text auto-fits so longer translations stay on-layout.

Upload a CSV from your dashboard to generate one image per row, with live progress. Add an optional "lang" column (or a global picker) to render the whole batch in another language.

Connect Claude, Cursor, or VS Code and let your assistant browse templates, design them, and render branded images by prompt — 25 tools, now listed in the official MCP Registry.

One-tap sign-up and login. Google accounts are verified instantly and land straight in the editor.

See a scheduled cancellation with its access-until date right in your dashboard, and resume a cancelled plan in one click.

Override the size and color of any text field directly in your render payload — no template edit needed.

Address template variables by friendly layer name in the API, not just element IDs.

Search and drop in icons from Iconify, right inside the editor.

Native rating elements for reviews and testimonials, rendered with crisp half-star support.

A first-run walkthrough that shows new users where everything is, including how to mark a layer as a variable.

A comprehensive API reference, plus a dedicated MCP page with one-command install and one-click Cursor / VS Code buttons.

Long values auto-shrink to fit their box, so a short headline and a long one both stay on-design.
