# jsontoimg

> Design the template once. Render every row.

jsontoimg is a template-driven image generation API. Design templates in a visual editor, name customizable layers, then render on-brand PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, or PDF files at up to 2× (Free), 3× (Starter), 4× (Pro), or 5× (Scale) via REST API.

## Who it's for
