Rendering a Single Image

Click the Generate button (⚡ icon, top right). The Generate Images dialog opens on the Single Image tab. This tab works on unsaved templates too.

Generate Images dialog, Single Image tab. Left column: Variables (3) section with three labeled input fields filled in and a Reset to defaults button at the top. Right area: Format and Size controls above the rendered image. Bottom: Regenerate, Share and Download image buttons

OptionChoices
FormatPNG, JPEG, WebP, PDF
Size (screen canvas)1x, 2x, 3x, 4x — each option shows the pixel size it produces
Size (print canvas)Screen / Web Display (96 DPI), Draft Print (150 DPI), Standard Print (300 DPI) — with the resulting pixel size

Below the controls a line states the largest output your plan renders; a size above it is flagged and can’t be downloaded or shared. Choose the format and size before generating; changing the format clears the current result. For web use PNG or WebP at 1–2×. For print use PDF or PNG at 300 DPI.

If your template has variables, a Variables (N) panel appears on the left side of the modal. Each variable shows its Label (or a readable version of its name), its variable key, and an input field. A note under the heading says which values are required.

  • Fields are pre-filled with each variable’s default value.
  • Edit any field to test a specific value.
  • Click Reset to defaults to restore all fields to their defaults.
  • Image variables take an https:// image URL or a zandovi://images/… reference to one of your uploads. Click My Images next to the field to pick an upload; the reference is filled in for you and a thumbnail appears beside the field.

Click Generate PNG image (the label names the chosen format). Zandovi renders the template server-side and displays the result. Generation typically takes a few seconds. After a change, click Regenerate.

If you generate too quickly in a row, the dialog shows a short countdown before you can try again.

Click Download image beneath the preview to save the image that’s on screen; it doesn’t render again. For PDF there’s no inline preview, so Download PDF renders and downloads in one step.

The file is named preview- followed by a timestamp and the format extension.

Next to the download button is Share, which publishes the render at a public URL (you pick how many days it stays live, then click Create link) and copies the link to your clipboard. Use it when you’d otherwise attach a file to an email or a chat message.

Sharing publishes the image already on screen, so it doesn’t cost an extra render. The exception is PDF: it has no inline preview, so its button reads Render & Share and it does consume one render.

Anyone with the link can open it, and links expire after a plan-dependent number of days. Full details — including how to revoke a link — are in Public Share Links.
