TOTAL HIDDEN GEM!
Duply is a total hidden gem for generating large quantities of social media or e-commerce images in bulk.
Everyone is clamoring for more api usage, and I am sure I will want that also... ;-)
However, right now, for my needs, the unsung hero functionality of Duply is the ability to create images from what they call a "form" but really they should call it "Image Merge From Spreadsheet Data", to make the functionality clearer.
If you've ever done a mail or data merge in Microsoft Word or other program, it is the exact same concept, but with graphics and text. Instead of saving documents, Duply allows you to "merge" to images. You save your spreadsheet with the info as a *.csv file and it merges the images and text into your selected templates.
WHIZ, BANG, BOOM! You're done and can have hundreds or even thousands of images in minutes with minimal work.
If you already save your info in spreadsheets, you are practically done already.
THIS IS SUCH A POWERFUL FUNCTION, I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DON'T PROMOTE MORE!!!
Right now, the only suggestion I have is to also allow for the import of tab-delimited files in addition to csv. Everyone uses csv, but some text actually has commas in it, so it can, at times, be a little problematic. It would be nice to have option of either format, but not really a big deal.
This is definitely a "Don't Miss" deal if you need to generate images at scale using predefined templates!
I was not incentivized in any way for this review, however, I would love it if Duply would double my api credits for it! :-)
Thanks for a great app! Keep up the good work!
