Placid
Automations for on-brand creatives
Placid is a creative automation toolkit for generating images, videos and PDFs from dynamic templates. It addresses the manual work involved in producing large numbers of branded visual assets by letting users design templates in a drag-and-drop editor and fill layers with structured data such as text, images or videos.
Generation can be driven through the Image API, PDF API and Video API, nocode integrations including Airtable, Make, n8n, Webflow, WordPress, Zapier, ChatGPT, Ghost and MCP, or the Editor SDK. Additional capabilities include Placid Studio for on-demand generation, a Mobile SDK, Canvas Previews, and an Editor Component for embedding. Output supports high-resolution images and PDFs up to 16k pixels and videos up to full HD.
Placid is aimed at teams automating marketing assets, personalized content, ad creatives, localized visuals, social media visuals and Open Graph images, as well as developers building creative automation into their own apps. Plans are named Basic, Pro, Business and VIP, with monthly credits, unlimited previews, and seat-based allowances for team members and Mobile SDK licenses. A free trial with complimentary credits is available without a credit card, and unused credits roll over within a cap.
