Use cases for the Changelog Image Generator API

The Project Showcase template is the shortest path to a working changelog image generator api from your stack. Send a small JSON payload, get back a tested PNG that fits your brand. No browser, no headless Chrome wrangling, no design tooling on your side.

Common reasons people reach for this template:

  • Changelog and release announcement images
  • Product Hunt launch graphics
  • Slack/Discord shipped-it announcements

How it works

1

Send a JSON payload

POST to the template endpoint with the values you want rendered. Authenticate with your API key.

2

We render the image

The template is rendered server-side as a 1200x630 PNG (or whatever dimensions the template defines).

3

You get back a URL

The response includes a CDN URL for the PNG. Cache it, embed it, attach it to a tweet, anything you need.

Quick example

A single cURL call to render a Project Showcase as a PNG:

curl -X POST https://app.html2img.com/api/v1/templates/project-showcase \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"version":"v3.2","title":"Live presence and cursor sharing","summary":"See exactly who is editing what, in real time, across every doc in your workspace.","eyebrow":"CHANGELOG","screenshot_url":"https://picsum.photos/seed/project-showcase/900/560","product_name":"Northwind Docs","background_color":"#0B0F1A","accent_color":"#22D3EE"}'

For the full PHP, Node and Python equivalents, plus every input the template accepts, see the Project Showcase API reference. Setting up your key is covered in the authentication guide.
