Switchboard Canvas

Automate image creation with an API or no-code tools

Visit Switchboard Canvas

Switchboard Canvas is an image generation API and template-based tool for automating branded image creation. It takes structured inputs such as titles, descriptions, images and favicons and renders them into image assets, including from blog posts and web pages. It supports social media content, multi-lingual content and batch image production from sources like Airtable and Google Sheets.

Core capabilities include a Template Designer, QR codes, LUT support, background removal, PDF generation, output to AWS S3, HTTP GET support and translation into 70+ languages. Batch image creation and batch creation from Airtable or Google Sheets are available on higher plans, with limits on rows and image sizes per API call.

It is packaged as three plans — Creator, Agency and Enterprise — with monthly API request allowances and per-call overage charges. A 14-day free trial with no credit card required is offered, limited to one image size per API call during the trial.
