These are real renders from the API with the example values in the table below. Switch the size above: the same template lays itself out for all 6 sizes — send size or sizes with the request.
For publishers, authors and newsletters announcing a book. Without a cover image the book is drawn from your title, author and accent colour, so you can post the announcement before the cover is final; send cover and the real artwork goes on the front.

Render it with one request
Use the slug as template. The response holds the URL of the finished PNG; ?wait=true keeps the connection open until it is ready.

For static sites, Webflow, Shopify and no-code tools: put the fields in the query string and sign it with your signing secret. The first request renders the image, every later one is a redirect to the cached file. How to compute the signature.

accent and theme change per request. For anything more, copy the template into your account: you get an ordinary HTML template with the same fields that you can edit in the dashboard or through the API. If the slug is free on your account, the copy takes it — your integrations switch to your version without changing a line.
