Multiple Image Generator

Definition

A CE.SDK Starter Kit for producing multiple platform-specific image variants from a single data input. 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.

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.

Web (Vanilla JS/TS, React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, SvelteKit, Next.js, Nuxt.js), Node.js (server-side via CE.SDK Renderer), Electron.
