How to create a "Dynamic Image Generator" in Figma?


Minas-Marios_Kontis

I have designed some social media post templates in Figma. I want my collogues to not touch the design, just fill in a form with “title” / “description” / “image link” and the figma app automatically takes their input places them to my designs and generates a custom image.

Is it possible? Is there any plugin/ script for that?

Thanks everyone!

Hello Minas-Marios,

this can be achieved with DynaPictures. You need to create a design template first and then let your colleagues generate custom images via a form like this one. It’s also possible to import data from a spreadsheet or via a No-Code platforms like Zapier.

In your case it would be ideal, when you can import your Figma designs directly into DynaPictures. We will look into this - I’m the co-founder of DynaPictures. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks,
Alex

Hey Alex, i’ve been used image generation apis in the past, like bearbanner and abyssale, the best one i found to be placid.app.

However as we have multiple designs in figma, it d be a great waste of time exporting each design and then importing to your platform and reconfuguring it.

I need an iamge generation api inside figma

Hi, what made you choose placid.app over the others, could you give a brief comparison?

Hi @Minas-Marios_Kontis, I’m trying to do the same as you for a project. Create templates for social media in Figma and export these with dynamic data from a external service. Have you found a solution for this? A plugin or a way to generate images through Figma API with dynamic data?

I’m working on an open-source, template-based image generation API that allows exporting Figma Frames and automatically updating them based on events. The project is in its early stages and not yet fully functional (if you don’t want to self host), but I’d love your thoughts and input to make it more useful.
