Switchboard Canvas
Automate branded image production with responsive templates, an API, and no-code integrations.
About Switchboard Canvas
Switchboard Canvas is a web-based template designer and image generation API for teams producing repeatable branded assets. Users build responsive templates, upload their own images and fonts, and overwrite text or other template values when generating output. A single API call can create multiple sizes on eligible plans, while Agency and Enterprise add translation into more than 70 languages, batch creation, spreadsheet integrations, PDF output, AWS S3 delivery, and HTTP GET support. The service also works with no-code automation tools such as Zapier and Pabbly Connect. Pricing is usage based by monthly API-call allowance: Creator costs $19 per month for 1,000 calls, Agency costs $79 for 10,000 calls, and Enterprise costs $299 for 100,000 calls. Extra calls cost $0.10 each. A 14-day trial needs no credit card, but trial output is limited to one image size per call and trial content is removed when the trial ends unless the account moves to a paid plan.
