Using Templates with AIGen SDK (Node.js)

Templates make it easy to create personalized, reusable, and scalable image designs with just a few variables. Perfect for certificates, social media banners, email hero images, and marketing creatives.

What Are Templates?

Templates are pre-designed visuals with placeholders for dynamic content like names, roles, product names, colors, or profile pictures.

You create them visually using the Vibe Editor at aigen.run — no code needed!

Create a Template in the Vibe Editor

1. Go to https://aigen.run
2. Click “Create Image Template”
3. Drag and drop elements like text, images, shapes, and placeholders
4. Assign variable names to text or image layers (e.g., name, company, photo)
5. Click Export to get your template ID
6. The template ID will appear in the export screen, like: abc123/1 (where abc123 is the template ID and 1 is the version)

You can update your template anytime and use different versions!

Node.js SDK Usage

import AigenSDK from 'aigen-sdk'

const aigen = new AigenSDK('your-secret-key')

const url = await aigen.createImage({
  template: 'abc123/1', // Template ID from Vibe Editor
  data: {
    name: 'Jane Smith',
    title: 'Founder',
    company: 'Visionary Labs'
  },
  duration: 48 // Optional (time validity in hours of the pre-signed url)
})

console.log('Generated Image URL:', url)
