Visit Stencil

Stencil is an image generation API designed to automatically create share images and PDFs from custom templates. It solves the problem of manually designing repetitive visual content for social media, banners, online stores, and other marketing materials, allowing users to generate images in seconds rather than hours.

The platform offers a drag-and-drop template editor with support for Google fonts, custom fonts, QR codes, dynamic clipping masks, rating components, and various chart types. It provides a RESTful API, query string URLs, and signed image generation for developers, along with no-code integrations for Airtable, Make, and Zapier. Additional capabilities include an embeddable form editor, webhooks, a test console, and support for unlimited projects and templates.

Stencil is aimed at marketers, developers, ecommerce teams, digital agencies, and publishers. It offers a free trial with 50 images, and paid plans are available for upgrade as needed.
