Placid
Creative automation API for images, videos, and PDFs at scale.
About
Placid is a creative automation engine that generates dynamic images, videos, and PDFs from templates and data. A drag-and-drop template editor defines placeholders for text, images, and video layers, and REST and URL APIs then render thousands of on-brand variations programmatically for social graphics, marketing creatives, and personalized media.
It plugs into n8n, Zapier, Make, Airtable, Webflow, and WordPress, offers MCP tools so AI agents can trigger and track renders, and provides Placid Studio forms for non-technical teammates. Plans start around $19 per month with a free signup credit allowance.
