Key terms

Designs

• Template: A design you make in the editor and use again and again. The app lists your templates on the Templates page. The API calls them designs, and a template’s id is its templateId.
• Page: A template can have up to 20 pages. Each page becomes one image, or one page of a PDF. A template with several pages is a carousel.
• Layer: One thing on a page: a text box, an image, a shape or a QR code. The Layers panel lists them.
• Dynamic field: A layer whose content you can change when you render. You turn it on with Let the render API change this layer and give it a Key. See Choose what changes.
• Key: The name of a dynamic field, such as headline or photo. You use it to send a new value.
• Variable: A key written inside text with double curly brackets, such as Hello {{name}}!. JamFrame fills in the value when it renders. The app’s API parameters list shows it as Placeholder, and the API gives it the type variable.
• Ready-made template: A finished design from JamFrame that you can copy and change. The app shows them under Ready-made templates and Explore templates. The API calls them library templates. See Copy an existing template.
• Saved fallback: The text or picture an AI layer has in the editor. Renders use it where AI doesn’t run, such as on dynamic URLs and forms. See AI layers.
• Brand library: The place for your logos, photos, colors and fonts, shared by the whole workspace. See Brand library.

Making files

• Render: Making a finished file from a template. Every render shows up on the Renders page.
• Modifications: The values you send with a render, written as keys and values, like {"headline": "Summer sale"}.
• Test render: A render you start from the editor, to check a template. It uses credits like any other render.
• Dynamic URL: A link that makes an image from a template. Change the words in the link, and the image changes. See Dynamic URLs.
• Signed URL: A link your code makes with the API for one fixed set of values. It makes the image when someone opens it, and nobody can change its values. See Signed URLs.
• Form: A public page made from a template. Anyone with the link can fill it in and download the file. See Forms.
• Workflow: Steps that make files for you, for example “every Monday, take the new rows of this sheet and render a post for each row”. See Workflows.
• Smart Resize: Making the same template in other sizes, such as a story or a banner, without designing it again. See Smart Resize.

Credits

• Render credit: What a render costs. One image, or one PDF page, is one credit. Failed renders are free.
• AI credit: What AI features cost, such as designing with AI or writing text at render time. AI credits are separate from render credits. See Credits.

Account

• Organization: Your company or team in JamFrame. It has one plan and one bill. Each person belongs to one organization.
• Workspace: A space inside an organization with its own templates, brand library, renders, API keys and webhooks. An agency might use one workspace per client. See Organizations and workspaces.
• API key: A secret that lets your code render in one workspace. See API keys.
