Getting Started

Getting Started with Your Organization

When you first sign up for RenderStack, you'll be guided through creating your organization. An organization is your team's workspace where all templates, renders, assets, and API keys are managed.

Creating Your Organization#

During onboarding, you'll:

  1. Choose a name for your organization
  2. Get assigned as the Owner with full permissions
  3. Start with a trial plan to explore all features

Organization Structure#

Each organization has:

  • Members with different roles (Owner, Admin, User, Viewer)
  • Templates for image generation — design with a visual editor or use AI to generate templates from a text description or uploaded image
  • Assets (images, fonts) shared across the team
  • API Keys for programmatic access
  • Usage limits based on your subscription plan

Template Elements#

Templates are made up of layers. Supported element types:

  • Text — Static or dynamic text with full font control, auto-sizing, linked font sizes (keep text uniform across frames or size one frame relative to another), and rich text inline formatting (bold, italic, color, superscript, subscript, font mixing)
  • Image — Photos and graphics with fallback support and Smart Cover AI-powered focal crop
  • Shape — Rectangles, ellipses, and lines with fill, stroke, and corner radius
  • SVG — Scalable vector graphics for icons and logos
  • QR Code — Dynamic QR codes that render a URL or text string passed at render time
  • Repeater — Variable-length lists, grids, or tables driven by an array of data items (Business and Enterprise plans)

Mark any element as Dynamic to make it overridable via the render API. Each dynamic element gets a snake_case API Name (e.g., speaker_name) used as the key in API requests.

Next Steps#

  • Create your first template in the Template Editor
  • Set up API keys for programmatic rendering
  • Invite team members from the Members page
