Why Automate Business Card Generation?

Designing individual business cards for every team member is slow and inconsistent. HR teams spend hours updating cards for new hires, role changes, and office relocations. Event organizers need unique cards for hundreds of attendees.

With Templated, design your business card template once with your brand guidelines, then generate personalized cards automatically. Connect to your HR system, CRM, or event platform — cards are generated instantly when employees are onboarded or attendees register.

How It Works

Three steps to automated business card generation

  1. 1

    Design Your Card

    Start from our professional templates or create your own. Add your company logo, brand colors, fonts, and layout following your brand guidelines.

  2. 2

    Connect Your Data

    Integrate with your HR system, employee directory, or event registration. Map names, titles, emails, and phone numbers to template fields.

  3. 3

    Generate & Print

    Automatically generate print-ready business cards as PDFs or images. Download in bulk or send directly to your print service.

What our customers say

People love how great our product works and how we're always there to help

Rated 4.7

"Business pressures now demand almost a 24x7 operation. 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!"

"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!"

"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!"

"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!"

"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."
