Canva's way to make many versions of one design from a table: data in, one page or design per row, inside the Canva editor.
Canva's editor is in another league from ours: its template library, stock photos, brand kit, and the fact that your whole team already knows it. Bulk Create needs no code at all, works from a typed table or a spreadsheet with embedded images, and Canva's Autofill API can fill designs from your own app on Pro plans and above. For a few hundred designs made by a designer now and then, it is the simpler tool.

Canva Bulk Create pricing ($18 / mo (Canva Pro, one person), Bulk Create on Pro and higher plans; up to 300 rows per run) comes from their own public page, checked 2026-11. If something has changed — tell us and we will fix it.
A designer makes a one-off batch — name tags, certificates, a set of social posts — in Canva, and nobody needs it to run by itself.
Images must be generated by code or on a schedule, served at a URL (og:image, email), come in thousands, or take image URLs straight from your data.
You rewrite the template once, as HTML and CSS. Preview costs no quota, so getting the layout right is free. Then you swap a single call on your side.
