Bannerbear
Automate image, video, and PDF creation for content marketing
What is Bannerbear?
Try BannerbearBannerbear helps marketing teams and builders automatically generate banner variations, short video clips, PDFs, and even animated GIFs. You send data like text and external file URLs to Bannerbear’s API, and it applies those values to templates to produce consistent creative at scale. It supports multiple ways to trigger generation, including API and no-code integrations like Zapier, Airtable, Forms, and URLs.
What does Bannerbear generate and how does it work?
Bannerbear auto-generates banner variations, short videos, PDFs, and animated GIFs by taking a template plus your input data (such as text and external file URLs). You submit that data as a JSON payload, and Bannerbear renders the finished creative for use in your marketing workflows.
Can I automate image and video creation without writing code?
Yes. Bannerbear supports multiple ways to trigger generation, including integrations such as Zapier, Airtable, Forms, and URLs, so you can run automated creative updates as part of your existing no-code workflows.
How do templates and modifications help produce consistent creative?
You start with a template (or a template set), then pass “modifications” that fill in fields with your specific values. Bannerbear uses those modifications to generate the final output automatically from your data, helping keep every variation consistent with the same design.
What kinds of payloads can I send for images, collections, and PDFs?
For images, you can send a JSON payload that includes a template ID plus modifications like text and external image URLs. For collections, you can use a template set to generate multiple images, and for PDFs you can enable PDF rendering (render_pdf) to produce high-resolution vector PDFs using the same template data approach.
Can Bannerbear create different video types from my data?
Yes. Bannerbear supports video generation where you provide a video template and an input_media_url, plus modifications for overlays. It also supports an advanced approach with multiple frames/overlays that display consecutively, and you can trim the result to a target duration.
Does Bannerbear offer a free trial, and what do I need to start?
