Unlike Data Merge (many outputs from many rows), this generates multiple format or template variants from one data point, using CE.SDK's headless API with multi-template support. Where the Auto-Resizer adapts a single design to multiple sizes programmatically, the Multiple Image Generator runs multiple distinct templates against the same input data: each template is purpose-built for its target format rather than derived from a single source design. This produces format-native outputs rather than resized variants. ## Multiple Image Generator vs Related Starters ### vs Data Merge Data Merge: one template, many data rows, many outputs (each row is a unique person or item). Multiple Image Generator: many templates, one data input, many format variants (each template is a different platform format). ### vs Auto-Resizer Auto-Resizer adapts one source design across sizes, scaling and repositioning blocks. Multiple Image Generator uses independent templates per format: each one is designed natively for that platform rather than resized from a common source. ## Example: One Input, Four Outputs ### Instagram Square 1080 x 1080 px, Feed post ### Pinterest Pin 1000 x 1500 px, Tall pin format ### Google Shopping 800 x 800 px, Product listing image ### Branded Story 1080 x 1920 px, Stories / Reels cover ## Typical Use Cases ### Product Teams & E-Commerce A product team enters one set of product details: name, price, tagline, and a product image. The Multiple Image Generator produces a full channel set: an Instagram square, a Pinterest tall pin, a Google Shopping image, and a branded story, all from one input, in one operation. ### Content Creation Platforms Users create a design once, the platform automatically generates all the platform-specific variants behind the scenes. Users never manually resize: they design for their primary channel and receive a complete format set for download or direct publishing. ### Template-Driven Marketing Tools A marketer selects a campaign template set (one template per target format) and provides the campaign data once. The Multiple Image Generator runs all templates against the same data and returns a complete variant set ready for the media plan. ### Agency Production Pipelines Agencies producing assets for multiple channels reduce the manual format adaptation step to zero: one creative brief, one data input, one generation run produces the full deliverable set for each client campaign.
