What can I use Bannerbear for?
You can use it to auto-generate social media graphics, ecommerce banners, video clips, PDFs, and other branded visuals via Bannerbear’s REST API or integrations with Airtable, Zapier, forms, or custom URL endpoints.
How does the free trial work?
Bannerbear provides a 30‑credit trial upon sign‑up that you can use to generate images or videos via API or the web-based Playground, with no credit card required.
How do API credits work?
Credits are consumed only when media is created—for example, 1 image = 1 credit; video and PDF jobs consume multiple based on duration or pages—and reset monthly. Only POST requests count against your quota.
Can I invite team members and manage their permissions?
Yes. You can invite collaborators, assign roles, enable two‑factor login, and keep audit logs within projects to control access and track activity.
Is synchronous image generation available?
Bannerbear defaults to asynchronous processing but also offers a synchronous API endpoint so you can receive generated images instantly if needed.
