What are Programmatic Images?

Programmatic images are bulk-generated images created by combining a template design with data from a spreadsheet or database. Instead of designing each image manually, you create one template with placeholder variables and let InstaRank generate a unique image for every row of data.

Imagine an e-commerce store that needs 2,000 product promo banners. Manually creating each one would take weeks. With programmatic images, they design one banner template with {{product_name}} and {{price}} placeholders, upload their product CSV, and generate all 2,000 banners in minutes.

InstaRank makes this accessible to everyone. No design skills or coding required. Create your template visually, import your data from Google Sheets or CSV, map your variables, and click generate.

Why Programmatic Images?

Stop designing images one by one. Let your data do the work.

Bulk Generation

Create thousands of unique images from a single template. One design, unlimited variations.

Dynamic Placeholders

Use {{city}}, {{product}}, {{price}} variables that auto-fill from your dataset columns.

Dataset-Powered

Import data from CSV, Google Sheets, or JSON. Each row becomes a unique image variation.

Multiple Formats

Export as PNG, JPG, or WebP. Adjust quality from 1-100% to balance size and clarity.

3 Steps to Thousands of Images

From template to generated images in minutes

1

Design Your Template

Create an image template with text overlays and {{placeholder}} variables. Set dimensions, background, layers, and output format.

2

Connect Your Data

Upload a CSV, link Google Sheets, or import JSON. Each column becomes a variable you can use in your template.

3

Generate at Scale

Map variables to columns, choose row mode or combination mode, and generate thousands of unique images in one click.

Programmatic Images FAQ

Common questions about bulk image generation with InstaRank

Programmatic images are bulk-generated images created from templates and data. You design one template with placeholder variables like {{city}} or {{product}}, connect a dataset (CSV, Google Sheets, or JSON), and InstaRank generates a unique image for each row of data. It's like mail merge, but for images.

InstaRank supports PNG, JPG, and WebP output formats. You can adjust the quality from 1-100% to balance file size and image clarity. Choose the format that works best for your use case - PNG for transparency, JPG for photos, WebP for web-optimized delivery.

Placeholders use the {{variable}} syntax in your template's text layers, image layers, and filename patterns. When you connect a dataset, you map each placeholder to a column in your data. For example, {{city}} maps to a 'city' column, and each row generates an image with that city name inserted.

Yes. You can link Google Sheets directly, upload CSV files, or import JSON data. Datasets are shared with the Programmatic SEO module, so if you already have data for page generation, you can reuse it for image generation too.

There's no hard limit. You can generate images for every row in your dataset, or use combination mode to create all possible combinations of your variables. For example, 50 cities x 10 services = 500 unique images from one template.

Row mode creates one image per row in your dataset - 100 rows equals 100 images. Combination mode generates all unique combinations of variable values. If you have 5 cities and 3 services, combination mode produces 15 images (5 x 3) covering every city-service pair.
