Videos start from the Promo, TikTok and Intro presets. ### In your AI chat Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor design the template with the `create_template` tool and render it in the same conversation. ### From what you already have Import your designs from Canva, or upload a screenshot of an existing design and AI rebuilds it as a template with layers.

The difference between choosing one SaaS product or another isn't just down to the technical capabilities of each, but down to their responsiveness when it doesn't quite work. In this case, an issue blocked us from being able to use the platform as intended. Within minutes of using the live chat, the issue was not only reproduced but correctly identified. Within the hour, the hot fix had been coded, tested and applied - unblocking the bottleneck and allowing us to carry on working. This is exceptional and the reason why I can't recommend this company enough - I'm so impressed and very grateful for their hard work. Keep it up!" > > Jason (March 12, 2026) > "This is a clever idea, especially in concert with programmatic (AI-generated) SEO." > > Ryan Hoover, Creator of ProductHunt (17 January 2024) > "We were looking for tools to help our users create and edit images with templates. We tried options like Canva, but Templated.io turned out to be the perfect choice for our product. It offers an easy API to render images, and its embed editor lets us provide our users with a full editing experience without having to create complex frontend components. It's a really great tool!" > > Harish (September 16, 2025) > "We integrate Templated.io into our portal for custom flyer generation. The editor is amazing, and the Canva import tool is exactly what we were looking for. Massive shoutout to Pedro for the technical support. He responds incredibly fast and fixes issues in no time. Highly recommended!" > > Yuan Zhuang (June 9, 2026) > "Brilliant piece of software. Reasonably priced (vs Canva's outrageously expensive API), and despite a few intricacies with the editor, a really fully-featured document generation API. Really great support too from Pedro, the founder!" > > Jacob Burns (August 17, 2025) > "Very reliable platform. Almost no errors ever. Easy to setup templates and use the API. And AMAZING support!" > > Lawrence Perera (March 24, 2026) > "We booked the "Scale" package to use it as a "print product editor" and we are amazed by the features and the support! Pedro replies to every question and also implemented small hints to the API for better functions on our request. Absolutly great Software and Service!" > > Sven Rißmann, südheide.media (December 18, 2025) > "Templated.io is basically a an API-first graphics content designer which makes it super easy to programmatically create document and image assets. It has most basic features and it is robust and "just works". The Make.com app really makes it super simple to incorporate into automation workflows. What sets templated.io apart the most is Pedro and his super fast and service minded, solutions oriented responses." > > Siavash (May 26, 2025) > "Amazing API, perfect support and a lot of new features on a monthly basis." > > Kalina Staykova (November 26, 2025) > "Currently working through an implementation of Templated.io and the customer service has been spectacular!!! I get near immedate response and near immediate remedies. It's glorious. I wish other companies were like this!!! Strong recommendation!" > > Tracy C (July 17, 2026) > "The editor is easy to use, very similar to Canva and the API is simple enough to integrate on the backend." > > Halem Wenderson, Developer at Telvetto (20 February 2024) ### Enterprise-ready for teams that scale Team collaboration, auto-scaling infrastructure and a 99.9% uptime SLA.

Scope each MCP session by external ID. Every list, render and edit is restricted to that customer's templates. MCP server URL ``` https://mcp.templated.io/mcp ?externalId=CUSTOMER_123 ``` The scope is enforced on the server, not in the prompt, so each of your customers' agents only sees their own templates. - Per customer - Per folder - Enforced on the server [Learn more about our Embedded Editor](https://templated.io/embed-image-editor-in-your-app/) · [Learn about scoping](https://templated.io/docs/integrations/mcp/setup/#scoping-access) ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I use Templated with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex? Yes. Templated runs an MCP server that works with Claude (web, desktop and mobile), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and any other client that speaks MCP. In Claude and ChatGPT, find Templated in the connector or plugin directory, click Connect and sign in. Everywhere else, add the server URL `https://mcp.templated.io/mcp` and sign in when prompted. Step-by-step instructions are in the [setup guide](https://templated.io/docs/integrations/mcp/setup/). ### Is Templated an AI image generator like Midjourney or DALL-E? No. Templated doesn't generate random images. It generates templates with editable layers that you can reuse, customize, and automate at scale. AI helps you build the template once; every render after that fills the same design with your data, so the result looks the same every time. ### Does MCP replace the API? No, it sits on top of it. Use the [REST API](https://templated.io/docs/) when your code renders on a schedule or from inside your product, and MCP when you want an agent to create templates and render them from a conversation. Both work on the same templates, return the same files and use the same credits. ### Do agent renders cost extra? No. Renders triggered through MCP use the same credits as renders from the API or the editor. One meter, one price, on every plan including the free tier. ### Is it safe to connect my agent? Yes. Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor connect through OAuth: you sign in to Templated and never paste an API key into a chat. You can disconnect from your assistant at any time, or regenerate your API key to revoke every connection at once. If you put an agent in front of your own customers, scope each session by external ID or folder. The scope is enforced on the server, so a customer's agent can never see or touch another customer's templates. ### Can AI create video templates? Yes. Describe the video and the [AI Template Generator](https://templated.io/ai-template-generator/) builds an animated template, with presets for promo videos, TikTok and Reels, and brand intros. Your agent can do the same through MCP, setting entrance, loop and exit animations on each layer, then render the result as an MP4. ### Does it work with n8n, Zapier or Make? Yes. Templated has integrations for [n8n](https://templated.io/integrations/n8n/), [Make](https://templated.io/integrations/make/) and [Zapier](https://templated.io/integrations/zapier/), plus [inbound webhooks](https://templated.io/integrations/webhooks/) and spreadsheet uploads for bulk renders. Zapier, Make and n8n can also call Templated from their own AI agents. ### When is Templated not the right fit? When every image is a one-off. Templated is built for designs you reuse: the same layout filled with new text, images and data, by your code or your agent. If you need a single illustration, a photo that doesn't exist yet, or art that never repeats, an AI image generator is the better tool. ## Start now for free Start a free trial with **50** credits [Get started for free](https://app.templated.io/signup) · [Connect your AI agent](https://templated.io/#connect)
