APITemplate.io
APITemplate.io makes PDFs from HTML templates and images from a visual editor. Bannerify makes both images and PDFs from one canvas, on a chromeless Rust engine, with 3,000 renders for $29.
Why teams switch
Where Bannerify is different.
Same job: design a template once, fill it with data many times. Different engine underneath.
2× the renders for $29
APITemplate.io Starter is $29 a month billed yearly, or $35 monthly, for 1,500 images and PDFs. Bannerify Automate gives 3,000 for $29 a month.
No headless browser
APITemplate.io renders PDFs in headless Chromium. Bannerify renders images and PDFs on a chromeless engine written in Rust.
Your whole team on Automate
APITemplate.io lists team accounts from its $89 Standard plan. Bannerify Automate includes unlimited seats.
Plan by plan, feature by feature.

When APITemplate.io is the better pick.
Bannerify does one job: templates in, images and PDFs out. If your job looks like one of these, APITemplate.io may fit you better.
- You write PDF templates in HTML, CSS, and Jinja2, or turn HTML, web pages, or Markdown into PDFs.
- Your PDFs run to many pages: APITemplate.io counts a multi-page PDF as one credit.
- You must choose the region where your files are stored.
- You need PDF/A-3b output for archiving or e-invoices.
Switch from APITemplate.io in three steps.
- 01
Rebuild one template
Start from a blank canvas or a gallery template, or import a Figma frame with the Bannerify plugin. Text, images, QR codes, tables, and charts are layers that your data can fill.
- 02
Name the layers that change
Give each layer that takes data a name, such as headline or photo. A request changes each named layer and keeps the rest of the design.
- 03
Send your data
Call the REST API or an SDK from your code, or connect a spreadsheet or form through Zapier, n8n, or Pipedream. The free plan gives 100 renders a month to test with.
