AboutImage generation without the browser.
jsontoimg is a developer-first platform for automated image and PDF generation. Design a template once, name the layers that change, and render every record from JSON.
Why it exists.
Teams either burn designer hours exporting the same share card, certificate, or product banner by hand — or maintain a brittle headless-Chrome service that breaks whenever fonts or emojis change.
jsontoimg separates the layout from the data. You design the canvas once in J2I Studio, give unique names to the layers that change, and pin a snapshot. Every render call validates against that schema and returns a finished PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, or PDF.
We keep the surface deliberately focused: stills and PDF pages billed at one credit each, prepaid packs that never expire, and honest docs about what is native versus what uses a six-line HTTP POST.
The product, in four parts.
- Editor
J2I Studio canvas with multi-page designs, brand kits, auto-fit text, and immutable version pins.
- Data layers
Eight chart types, QR & barcodes, striped tables, ratings, progress bars, and repeater groups.
- Render API
PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, and PDF up to 5× scale, with signed GET URLs and 50-job batches.
- Ecosystem
TypeScript SDK, CLI, 11-tool MCP server, n8n node, WordPress plugin, Sheets, Airtable, and Klaviyo.
