Orshot
Orshot turns branded templates into images, PDFs, and videos through a studio editor, REST API, and workflow builder. Agencies and brands design once in Orshot Studio, then render carousels, ad banners, certificates, and social assets at scale with dynamic variables and multi-page layouts.
Template-first design tools like Canva stop at manual exports. Orshot adds programmable rendering: Smart Resize outputs Story, Square, and OG sizes from one design, workflows pull rows from Sheets or Airtable, and the API returns PNG, PDF, or MP4 in a single call. That pipeline focus trades some casual design simplicity for volume and embeddable white-label delivery.
Marketing agencies, eCommerce teams, and startups publishing to 15+ social platforms are the core users. Free signup includes 30 render credits and 50 AI credits, paid tiers scale to 300k monthly credits, and enterprise plans add SSO and custom embed instances via [email protected].
