Roadmap

Multi-Scene Videos

Videos built from multiple page templates

Airtable Integration

Create integration with Airtable to sync data and enable dynamic template population from Airtable databases.

Figma Importer

Build Figma integration allowing users to import designs and components from Figma files into the template system.

Max-Width & Max-Height for Auto-Fit

New Properties: Add Max Width and Max Height fields directly into the Auto-fit for Text property panel. Enforcement: The Auto-fit logic must respect these limits as the maximum allowed dimensions for the text container. Visual Indicator: Display a boundary in the editor to represent these limits.

Add text effects to the API

support modifying text effects (stroke, shadow properties - offset, opacity/ color, etc.)

GIF Export

Ability to export videos as GIFs

Upload PDFs using the iFrame

I want to be able to upload my designs from the iFrame, rather than navigating to app.templated.io to do so.

Template Status

Add status tracking functionality to templates allowing users to monitor template lifecycle and processing states.

API Logs

Save logs for every action taken from the API

Folders for renders

The ability to create folders in the renders section. We have many types of renders that we create for many clients, so having folders for organizing the renders would be useful. In addition: give the folders an ID that we could use in the API to send renders to the proper folder.

Multiple formats for the same template

When creating multiple formats for the same template, the designer should help repositioning the graphical elements. Right now, if we clone a template and change page size, a lot of manual work is needed to adapt all the layers to the new format. The anchor feature does not help 100%, because there is no way to anchor layers to any side of the page (eg. keep the logo anchored to the top-right corner, with 5% or 15pm offset).

Can we add GIF Export feature?

Print Ready Options

The ability to configure CMYK colours in the designer. Allow importing of web-based vector assets such as .eps files which retain CMYK colours after import. Adding a vector design pen tool to the designer would also be useful (e.g. the pen tool in illustrator).

A drag and drop feature for images instead of the replace button would be amazing

Export as HTML

Provide functionality to export templates and renders as standalone HTML files for offline use and distribution.

Layer animations

We need to be able to add animations (slide up, fad in/out, zoom, spin, etc) to each layer for video rendering.

BYOS (Bring Your Own Storage)

Have the option for the user to add it’s own storage (AWS S3 and Cloudflare R2 initially) to store their generated renders.

Canva Importer

Develop integration with Canva to import designs and templates directly from Canva accounts into our own Editor. https://templated.io

Mobile Editor

Develop a mobile-optimized editor interface that allows users to create and edit templates directly from mobile devices.

Video Rendering API 🎥

Add video rendering capabilities to our Editor and API is coming!

Auto-Positioning & Anchor System

Auto Anchor (X/Y): Ability to link an element's position to a "target" element using 9 alignment types (Outer, Mid, Inner) and custom offsets. Auto Match Dimensions: Option for elements to automatically inherit the width or height of a target, including support for custom padding. Dynamic Response: Ensure layouts automatically adjust when dynamic content (like text) changes, preventing overlaps and maintaining design integrity.

Improve Canva Importer

We want produce better results when importing designs from Canva. Also want to better support designs with multiple pages.

Toggleable Print "Safe Zone" Overlay

We've observed that many customers, particularly those who are unfamiliar with design, tend to place critical design elements right up to the very edge of their template. For print products, this practice conflicts with the technical necessities of the printing process, specifically the need for a bleed area and a "safe zone" to prevent text or important imagery from being cut off. This often leads to design errors, rejected files, and customer dissatisfaction. If possible, a toggleable visual overlay within the design template that clearly defines a "Safe Zone” could be implemented. Visual Indicator: The overlay would be a non-printing visual guide (e.g., a dashed or colored line) within the design canvas. Clear Labeling: It should be prominently labeled as "Safe Zone - Will not Print." Location: This feature could be managed within the Resize Settings panel. Toggle Functionality: Template makers would be able to easily turn the Safe Zone overlay ON and OFF as needed. This allows others working on designs that don't require specific safe zones or bleeds (like digital-only templates) to have a clean workspace.

Photoshop Importer

Create an importer tool that allows users to bring Photoshop files (.psd) directly into the template editor with layer preservation.
