Text, image, and group layers
Every image is built from text, image, and group nodes that nest to any depth — build a card from sections, not from a fixed form.
Features
A canvas editor and image API built for images at scale.
Design once on a free-form canvas, mark the layers your data should control, and generate every variation from a plain URL — rendered pixel-identical by the same engine that previews it.
Free-form canvas editor
A real design surface, not a settings form.
The editor works the way layout actually works: layers, groups, and a CSS-based layout model, so anything you can design renders exactly as you designed it.
Free-form positioning
Place layers anywhere with absolute positioning, edge anchors on any side, z-order control, and percentage sizing that adapts like CSS.
Flexbox and grid layout
Groups flow with full flexbox — direction, gap, justify, align — plus CSS grid columns when a layout needs a stricter rhythm.
Any canvas size
Start from Open Graph, X, square, story, or Pinterest presets, or set a custom size anywhere up to 10,000 pixels per side.
Editing experience
Built like the tools designers already know.
Layers panel
A recursive layer tree with drag-to-reorder, inline renaming, and per-layer duplicate and delete — dock it, collapse it, or float it anywhere.
Undo and redo
A 100-step history batches drags, resizes, and typing into single steps, so experimenting never costs you your place.
Direct manipulation
Drag layers, resize from eight handles with aspect-lock corners, and nudge with arrow keys — Shift for 10-pixel jumps.
Figma-style inputs
Commit-on-blur number fields, per-corner radius, and an add-attribute system that reveals advanced CSS controls only when you want them.
Styling
Every styling primitive a branded image needs.
66 Google Fonts
Searchable font picker with per-family weights, live loading of only the fonts your canvas uses, and full typography control down to letter-spacing and line clamps.
Fills, gradients, patterns
Solid colors, multi-stop linear and radial gradients, and grid or stripe patterns — plus per-corner radius, borders, and background sizing.
Shadows, filters, transforms
Box and text shadows with inset support, blur, contrast, and grayscale filters, rotate, scale, and skew transforms, opacity, and blend modes.
Dynamic content
The URL is the API.
Mark any text or image layer as overridable and it becomes a parameter. Compose render URLs in your HTML, your CMS, or your backend — no SDK, no client library, no render queue.
- Query parameters override any dynamic layer — ?title=Launch+week&price=$29
- A POST with a JSON body overrides query parameters for richer payloads
- Deterministic renders served with long-lived immutable caching
- Every save publishes a fresh URL — old links keep working forever
Generate with parameters
One canvas, infinite variations.
GET — query parameters
https://cdn.ogdynamic.com/canvas-id?title=Launch+week&price=%2429&author=AdaPOST — JSON body
{ "title": "Launch week", "price": "$29", "author": "Ada" }Every dynamic layer on the canvas contributes one key. The override fields panel lists them all with their types, so your integration stays predictable.
Rendering
The preview is the render.
The editor preview runs the same Rust rendering engine as the production service, compiled to WebAssembly and drawing pixels in your browser. There is no "looks different in production" gap — what you see while designing is the exact image the URL serves.
- Pixel-identical editor preview and server output
- Deterministic — the same URL always renders the same image
- Immutable, CDN-friendly caching keyed by canvas version
Templates & output
Start from 36 templates, ship in every size.
Templates span 11 categories — Open Graph, blog, product, square, Pinterest, email, and more — each one a finished layout you can keep as-is or pull apart on the canvas.

Questions about the editor and API.
Do I need to know CSS to use the canvas editor?
No. You drag, resize, and restyle layers visually. The layout model is CSS under the hood — flexbox, grid, absolute anchors — but the inspector exposes it as plain controls, and templates give you finished layouts to start from.
How does dynamic content work?
Toggle "allow override" on any text or image layer and give it a param id. The published canvas then accepts that key as a URL query parameter or in a POST JSON body, and the render substitutes it — everything else stays exactly as designed.
What do renders look like — is the preview the final image?
Yes. The in-browser preview runs the same Rust rendering engine as the server, compiled to WebAssembly, so what you see while editing is pixel-identical to what the URL serves.
Which image formats and sizes are supported?
Canvases render as webp, png, or jpeg in any size up to 10,000 pixels per side, with presets for Open Graph, X, square, story, and Pinterest. The same design can render Open Graph and Twitter card intents.
