JSON to Image API for developers


Use this technical flow when your team already knows the payload shape, saved template, or render path: send a structured payload, return a renderable visual, review it in Studio if needed, and reuse the output in your product, ads, emails, or publishing pipeline. You stay in control of content structure while Pixelixe handles layout and rendering.



PIXELIXE API Pixelixe

Rendered output from structured JSON

The response gives you a rendered image URL ready for web, email, paid media, or social publishing workflows.

You can map your own business data to every request, keep a stable image style across thousands of outputs, and use the same JSON-driven flow as the technical rendering surface behind reusable template automation.

How to get started

Create a layout with the JSON to Graphic API. Save the JSON example below as payload.json and replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key. With save_document set to true, the response includes the saved document ID, editable HTML URL, and rendered image URL.

EXAMPLE 01
curl --request POST \
  --url https://studio.pixelixe.com/api/jsontographic/v2 \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data @payload.json

JSON example input

EXAMPLE 02
{
  "document_name": "launch_day",
  "save_document": true,
  "width": 1200,
  "height": 628,
  "background_color": "#F4F7FF",
  "modifications": [
    {
      "name": "headline",
      "type": "text",
      "text": "Launch day",
      "left": 80,
      "top": 120,
      "width": 1040,
      "height": 120,
      "font-size": 64,
      "color": "#243659"
    }
  ]
}

JSON example output

The identifiers and URLs below are placeholders for the values returned by the API.

EXAMPLE 03
{
  "status": "success",
  "document_uid": "GENERATED_DOCUMENT_UID",
  "html_url": "GENERATED_HTML_URL",
  "image_url": "GENERATED_IMAGE_URL"
}

To generate further variations from the saved layout, use its document_uid with the Image Automation API.

Why teams choose JSON to Image API


From idea to scalable assets, without manual design bottlenecks.



Speed to market

Launch visuals faster with a JSON-driven flow that removes repetitive design tasks and reduces go-live delays.

Consistent branding

Keep typography, spacing, colors, message hierarchy, and Brand Kit rules aligned across campaigns, markets, and channels.

Unlimited scale

Localize, personalize, and test variants continuously without increasing creative production overhead.


Use cases built for structured rendering


From campaign systems to internal copilots, JSON payloads let teams generate branded images from structured data and approved templates without rebuilding layouts for every run.



Campaigns and ads at scale

Create large volumes of ad variations with a consistent structure, then adapt text, offers, and visuals per audience segment.

Ecommerce and retail

Generate product promos, price updates, and seasonal campaigns directly from catalog or feed data with minimal manual steps.

Localization and personalization

Adapt creatives to language, currency, and region-specific value propositions while keeping one global design logic.

Social media automation

Produce multi-format assets for every platform and feed your publishing calendar with consistently branded visuals.

Product and feature launches

Ship launch visuals across web, lifecycle email, and paid channels in hours instead of days.

AI copilots and internal tools

Embed image generation into copilots, internal growth tools, and workflow automations with a single API integration.

How it works


One JSON request, one rendered output, unlimited reuse.



1

Generate JSON

Create a payload with your visual rules, copy, image sources, and campaign data.

2

Render image

Pixelixe processes the payload and returns a ready-to-use image output for your delivery channels.

3

Automate variations

Run repeated generations for A/B testing, localization, and batch campaigns with approved templates and stable branding rules.

Developer FAQ quick answers


Enough technical clarity to decide, with full details available in the docs.



Can we use our own templates and brand rules?

Yes. Pixelixe is designed for repeatable branded generation, so your teams can keep consistent visuals across every output while still personalizing content with reusable templates and Brand Kit rules.

Is this API suitable for high-volume generation?

Yes. The JSON-to-image approach is built for automated workflows where many assets are generated from structured data sources.

Do we need designers for every campaign update?

No. Once your generation logic is set, teams can ship recurring variants without recreating layouts from scratch.

Where do we find implementation details?

This landing gives the overview. Full endpoint details, request options, and examples are available in the Pixelixe API documentation.

How do I turn a JSON layout into an image URL for my app?

Send an authenticated JSON request to the JSON to Graphic endpoint with your canvas dimensions and design elements. With save_document: true, a successful response includes image_url, html_url, and document_uid. Use the image URL in your application and follow the JSON to Graphic API documentation for the request format.

Can I edit a design created from JSON in a visual editor?

Yes. When you save the document during JSON generation, Pixelixe keeps an editable design that you can reopen in Pixelixe Studio. Edit the layout there and export a new image. Keep the saved document if you need to change individual elements later; the rendered PNG is a combined image.

Do I need to rebuild the JSON layout for every personalized image?

You can create and save the layout once, then use its document_uid with the Image Automation API to update named elements for later variations. This is useful for changing product photos, prices, or campaign text while keeping the same base design.

Can an AI assistant create a Pixelixe design from a prompt?

An AI assistant can turn your instructions into structured JSON describing the canvas, text, images, and positions. Your application then validates that JSON and submits it to the JSON to Graphic API. The generated request must follow the documented fields and structure so Pixelixe can render and save the design.
