Templates

List all your templates - Abyssale REST API
A template is a design layout including at least:
  • one format (dimension, i.e. Facebook feed 1200x628 or IAB 300x250)
  • one element (text, button, image, shape...)
All elements have their own properties that can be customised (color, text payload, image...). The complete list of available properties is available:
Once created, all template properties will act as a reference for subsequent image generation. Obviously, those properties can be overridden by sending new parameters within the generation API call.

Template Types

3 types of template exist on Abyssale:
  • Static template (static): The simplest form of template that allows to create static images (png, jpeg, pdf).
  • Animated template (animated): Static elements can be fully animated with effects & transitions (fade, slide...). That kind of template can be exported either as a video (mp4), a gif or a HTML5 banner (zip). For mp4 and gif you can optionally add a background video.

Get your templates

Abyssale provides a list of free templates in the Public Templates page. Feel free to use one to start designing a template instead of doing it from scratch.
Only templates listed in the My Templates page are accessible via API.
