Image generation API
A thousand images from one template — made by your code, not by a person.
Design the template once. Your app fills in the data and gets a PNG back in the response: blog covers, product cards, certificates, one for every row in your database.
30 images free · no credit card

You get back — a real PNG
Layouts that already render.

Why Pictika
Generate the image while the page is still loading
The PNG comes back in the response, so you can put it straight into a page a visitor is waiting for. A standard Open Graph image — 1200×630, two text layers — takes about 21 ms on our reference hardware.
No code needed to change a headline
/v1/img/tpl_abc123?title=Hello is a link that returns a PNG, so a writer can edit a headline in your CMS and the image follows.
Render on request, not the night before
Images come back fast enough to generate them the moment someone asks, so you do not have to build and store every variation in advance.
Never get a surprise invoice
When you reach your monthly limit we stop generating instead of billing you for the overage.
Call it from code, or just link to it.
tpl_abc123 in the examples below is a placeholder. Build a template in the editor and use its id — sending the example id as-is returns 404 template_not_found.
REST API
One POST, a PNG URL back. Works from any language that can make an HTTP request.
POST /v1/images Authorization: Bearer pictika_sk_live_… { "template": "tpl_abc123", "modifications": { "title": "Hello world" } } → 200 { "url": "https://pictika.com/i/img_a1b2c3d4e5f60718.png" }
Image URL
Put the template id and your values in a query string. Nothing to deploy, nothing to install.
https://pictika.com/v1/img/tpl_abc123?title=Hello%20world → PNG

Questions
Before you sign up.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You get 30 images when you sign up, and we do not ask for card details until you choose a plan.
What happens when I run out of images?
Generation stops until the next cycle or until you upgrade. You are never charged for going over your plan.
Does it handle other languages and scripts?
Yes, and emoji too. There is no font setup on your side.
Do you run the rendering yourselves?
Pictika runs its own deterministic rendering engine on its own servers. There is no AI model anywhere in the render path. The text you send is drawn into a layer you designed, not interpreted as a prompt, so the same template and input always produce the same output. Pictika is not a wrapper around a third-party image generation API.
