Canva is built for human designers sitting at a screen. OKZest is built for when the same design needs to be generated thousands of times - each version personalized to a different person, automatically.
Insert a dynamic image URL into Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot or any ESP. Each recipient gets their own personalized version - no exports, no manual steps, no uploads.
Generate images programmatically with a clean REST API. Pass merge tag values in the request, get a rendered image URL back. Canva's API is limited and not designed for bulk image generation.
If a merge tag has no value for a given recipient, OKZest falls back to default text gracefully - so no broken or empty images ever reach your audience.
Capture a live screenshot of any URL and embed it directly into a template layer - unique to OKZest, and powerful for product previews and personalized landing pages.
The free plan includes 2,500 watermarked images per month for testing - no credit card needed. Upgrade only when you need to scale.
Join hundreds of marketing teams already sending personalized images that get results.
