Turn spreadsheet rows or CSV files into branded campaign banners, catalog images, and lifecycle visuals with reusable templates and Pixelixe automation.
This local checker is specifically for the existing Perfect gifts example below. It checks the CSV structure and expected layer identifiers without sending requests to Studio or to image URLs.
The sample expects text-1, text-3, text-5 and background-image. Keep their /name values; change the message, price, brand line and photo URL.
Open the existing template and three-row CSV →The checker accepts HTTP or HTTPS URL syntax. It cannot confirm that the remote server will allow Pixelixe to download the image.
Read the spreadsheet automation guide →Keep generated_document_url empty for this sample. Test a row in your own Studio account and inspect its result before running the full batch.
Read the Image Automation API documentation →This checker does not render images, authenticate an account, fetch remote files or guarantee that a template can be used. It checks the documented sample mapping only; a different template may use different layer identifiers. Maximum: 100 product rows and 1 MB of text.
Spreadsheet image generation is the fastest path when campaign, product, client, or localization data already lives in rows. Pixelixe maps columns to template layers, generates branded outputs in bulk, and gives teams a clean bridge from no-code operations to API automation later.
| Spreadsheet column | Template layer | Workflow after validation |
|---|---|---|
| Headline, CTA, offer, deadline | Editable text layers | Marketing automation images |
| Image URL, SKU, price, discount | Product visual and price badge | Ecommerce banner automation |
| Segment, location, language | Personalized or localized variant fields | Localized campaign automation |
| Template ID and export format | Layout choice and generated output | Image Generation API |
Start with one reusable template, map spreadsheet columns to text, images, pricing, and offer fields, then generate campaign, catalog, and lifecycle visuals in bulk.
Start from a Pixelixe Studio template or create your own banner, social format, email header, or product visual. The approved layout becomes the reusable base for every spreadsheet-driven generation run.
Import CSV data from Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable, or another system. Update headlines, offers, image URLs, prices, colors, and other variables directly from the spreadsheet columns linked to your template.
Launch the automation to process every spreadsheet row into branded output. Teams can download the finished images, use them in campaign operations, or move the same template logic into the API when backend systems need direct control.
Spreadsheet automation is the operational entry point for teams that need to generate marketing visuals from data without writing code. When the same workflow must run from backend events or product systems, the next step is the Image Generation API.
Choose the workflow that matches how you want to create your images: edit a visual by hand, generate a batch from a spreadsheet, or send requests from your own software.
| Your task | Choose | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Edit a visual by hand | Pixelixe Studio | Open a photo or design, place text or a logo, adjust the layout, and export the finished image. |
| Generate a batch from Excel or CSV rows | Spreadsheet Automation | Save a reusable template, import your CSV, and generate a variation for each row. Try the three-product example below. |
| Generate images from your app or backend | Image Automation API | Send requests that update named text and image elements in a reusable template when your system needs a new visual. |
A spreadsheet suits a batch you prepare and review as rows. The API suits a workflow your software needs to trigger programmatically. Both can reuse an existing template.
For other row-based layouts, try personalized certificates from CSV or testimonial and review image cards.
Start with the public Perfect gifts template and the downloadable CSV below. This sample catalogue for a fictional print shop changes the product name, price, and photo in each row while keeping the same brand line, fonts, and layout.
Sign in to save your own copy of the template and use Spreadsheet Automation. The CSV is prepared for this template's existing element names.
| Product name | Price and format | Photo | Brand line |
|---|---|---|---|
| Citrus study | $18 / A3 | Blue fruit | STUDIO PRINTS |
| City lines | $24 / A3 | Architecture | STUDIO PRINTS |
| Golden harvest | $22 / A3 | Pumpkin field | STUDIO PRINTS |
$18 / A3 · Row 1
$24 / A3 · Row 2
$22 / A3 · Row 3
generated_document_url column.The file maps text-1 to the product name, text-3 to the price, text-5 to the brand line, and background-image to the photo. Leave the /name cells unchanged, keep the image width and height set to original, and use directly accessible image URLs. Leave generated_document_url empty before running.
These three previews were rendered with Pixelixe's Image Automation API using the template and the values in the CSV. See the spreadsheet automation guide for the dashboard workflow, or the API documentation to use the same template programmatically.

Yes. Pixelixe supports spreadsheet and CSV-based image generation as long as your columns map to the template variables you want to update.
You can create ecommerce promos, campaign banners, product visuals, email headers, social images, and localized image variants from the same spreadsheet-driven workflow.
Use spreadsheet automation for operations-friendly bulk runs. Move to the Image Automation API when your backend systems need direct, real-time, or programmatic control over image generation.
Create and save your template in Pixelixe Studio, open its Spreadsheet Automation dashboard, and export the template CSV. Edit that CSV in Excel or Google Sheets, keeping the generated column structure and element identifiers. Add a row for each variation, export as CSV, import it back into Pixelixe, and run the automation. See the spreadsheet automation guide for the full workflow.
Yes. Keep the logo as a separate element in your saved template, then update the product image URL and price text in each spreadsheet row. Leave the logo values and layout unchanged. This lets each row produce a different product visual with consistent branding.
Keep the generated column structure and element identifiers so Pixelixe can match each value to the right part of your template. Edit the values for the text and images you want to replace. In the dashboard, the blue identifier columns are not editable; the white value columns are where you change content.
When the run finishes, reopen the Spreadsheet Automation dashboard for your design. The generated_document_url column contains the URL for each generated variation. Pixelixe also sends an email with a link to the generated results.
