4 Best Image APIs for Automation in 2025

No wonder repetitive tasks are just overhead expense to your time & money!!

They consume a lot of your time and effort. Moreover, this time can be used to be productive elsewhere.

After years of coding for a living and working with multiple design teams and projects, I feel that pain firsthand.

In this read, I have handpicked 4 of the best APIs you can use to automate your Image generation process.

Let’s get started!

Templated Image Automation API

First on the list is the tool that grew straight out of the pain I just mentioned — Templated.

You might be thinking, “Why open with my product?”

Fair question. And if you ask me, why not, since I built it to fix this exact headache you might have currently. 😊

I’m confident it can do the same for you, automating image generation so you can scale without the busy work.

You can use this API to automate your Instagram posts, LinkedIn posts, or ad creatives.

We do offer a curated list of pre-designed templates that you are ready-made & further use Templated’s built-in editor to make changes.

However, if you have the base template made in any third-party app, you can simply copy and paste it into our editor as a single layer, add the dynamic layers to it & change those layers either programmatically or by using a no-code tool like Make or Zapier.

Sign up for free & test it with 50 free credits to see if it fits your needs!

Bannerbear

Any list that talks about image automation API doesn’t mention Bannerbear is a half story.

It is a solid solution available in the market for image automation and one of the first to be around.

Bannerbear has a library of lots of templates and is scalable too, because it has been in the market for a long period.

However, the cost at which it operates is on the expensive side. If you are a customer of Bannerbear, you can check out my recently made list of the best economical Bannerbear alternatives.

Talking of the expensive, the pricing of Bannerbear starts at $49/month, in which you get 1000 images that you can automate/generate.

Placid App

Placid.app brands itself as an automation tool for on-brand creatives.

I have used this API and honestly, it is a decent app, you can give it a try!

The app has been in the market for quite a long time. The product is at least 7 years old and, therefore, is stable and scalable for image generation.

The pricing starts as low as $19 a month, but you get 500 images for automation. There are other pricing plans too that you can check out on their pricing page.

Abyssale

The next on our list of “best API for image automation” is Abyssale.

One of the best available options out there!!

They have recently changed their website and the positioning statement.

Initially, the app had some bugs, which stopped users from doing anything on the app, but the product has grown into a mature one. This has also been reported by users in reviews.

The pricing is on the higher end, with $45 giving you 450 images/month for automation.

Conclusion

Now that you have the list of best APIs for image automation, you can test each of them & see which one suits your needs.

Since each of them offers either free credits or free trial days, you can look for yourself as to which one suits you best for your needs.
