Firstly, I just want to say that the magic link is a game changer. It certainly opens up lots of opportunities and it's really helped me to get rolling!
I was hoping to provide the Markupgo workflow as a service to others, while using my templates the user will render the image with their own variables.
Is there any wway to protect the final URL? If someone stops to consider their inputs and the variables within the URL they might see that they can bypass me and use all my credits by changing small aspects and re-rendering.
How can this be avoided? is there any workaround or ability to redirect to a URL that is not so obvious to manipulate by the user?
A: Hi there! I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the Magic URL feature. 🚀
You're right, if you expose the Magic URL directly, anyone with the URL can generate images or PDFs using your template and consume your credits. We just updated the documentation with the security considerations and some approaches to secure the Magic URL. Please see the https://markupgo.com/docs/magic-template-url#security-considerations section for more details.
TL;DR: Exposing the Magic URL is at your own risk but we have some approaches to secure the Magic URL by using the `json=true` and `redirect=true` query parameters.
Wow, thankyou for providing this workaround. It works absolutely perfectly. Amazing!
Literally took you a few hours to provide a solution, give 2 variations and add it to your documentation....whilst questions ive asked other devs from other apps here, still waiting for response for 3 weeks. Great job guys!!

Q: Re: Markdown conversion
Let us know when the convert to markdown feature is added and I'll buy a couple of codes.
It is in our roadmap and we will let you know when it is available. You can check our public roadmap here for updates: https://markupgo.featurebase.app/roadmap
We just released the Markdown conversion feature. 🚀 You can now convert your Markdown to images and PDFs.
Please check the documentation for more details. https://markupgo.com/docs/api/image#post-image-from-markdown
Check out the examples below: https://assets.markupgo.com/examples/markdown-example-dark.png https://assets.markupgo.com/examples/markdown-example-light.png
Thank you! Bought 3 codes to try it out. To clarify, I am looking to create a cleanly formatted markdown file from a URL. Can I do that with this feature?
Could you please share the example URL via hello@markupgo.com or as a comment? We want to take a look and see what we can do.
Q: EXIF Extraction?
Do you have the ability or planning to have the ability to allow users to extract location data from an images EXIF, there are so few APIs at the moment that can easily do this.
It looks like you’ve already posted your feature request in our knowledge base. 🚀 We’ll let you know via a post comment after discussing it with the team. ♥️
Thank you, This would be a great feature to have and I know there would be a lot of demand for a feature like this. I put a question up in a bubble.io developer forum looking for a simple API and there were a lot of people looking for a simple solution that doesn't involve a lot of work to set up.

Q: Q: Can text meant to replace placeholder in a template cotain simple formatting?
whether its markdown or simple html markup, being able to add a line break, paragraph or (un)ordered list would be awesome. Can you pls. refer to the available formatting options if any or an ETA?
Yes, but you can only use HTML or plain text in the placeholder (context in our terms) field. We’re using Handlebars to compile the template with the context, so to use HTML in the context field, you can use triple curly braces {{{ }}} to allow HTML. We just recorded a video for you to show how to use it.
Unless you are on the free tier, we will not suspend your account. Instead, we will reach out to you to purchase additional credits or upgrade to a higher plan with more credits than your current one. After contacting you, we may add the additional usage to your next bill or increase your credits based on your needs.
Sorry for the confusion. Our pricing is based on the number of credits you need. We won’t know how many credits you’ll require until you exceed your quota. Please reach out to us at hello@markupgo.com with your usage details, current plan and we’ll help you find the best plan for your needs. ♥️
Q: About You
Hey there, I wonder if this is your primary business and if you already got any customers on the “normal” plans (short: if you got Monhtly Recurring Revenue).
While you likely got low costs utilizing workers and alike still its good to know a bit about the person or team offering a service that could be an integral part of my processes and therefore not easy to replace once implemented.
Yes, we have multiple MRR customers, and our recurring revenue covers our monthly costs. As you mentioned, we’re a low-cost platform, which allows us to offer these AppSumo plans. We recently launched on AppSumo to grow our user base and gather feedback for future improvements. Our team is committed to the long-term success of MarkupGo and fully understands your concerns about reliability and integration.
If you have any other questions, we'd be happy to answer them. ❤️
Congratulations on getting loyal (paid) subscribers so early given your solutions is kinda fresh oout of the oven. (as per https://www.whois.com/whois/markupgo.com)
Nice job digging through our domain records! :) Although we're new, we gained initial traction early on. For a low-cost SaaS to be profitable, it doesn't require hundreds of customers—around ten is enough, and we have more than that. I hope this clarifies.
Q: Can I use this to host image in bulk using Google Sheet?
Consider this situation. I have a Google Sheet with a column-D which contains 1000 of image URLs in .png, .jpeg or .ico format.
Can I transform them all and host them in using MarkupGo API in other column-E in fly?
Usually a formula of a structure similar to this should work:
We just released a new feature called 'Magic Template URL', which allows you to generate images or PDFs on the fly using a simple URL structure. Please check the documentation here: https://markupgo.com/docs/magic-template-url
We believe this feature will help you achieve your goal, but we're unsure about the 'scale' parameter you mentioned. Could you please provide more details about it? We’d be happy to have a quick chat with you to better understand your use case. Please reach out to us at hello@markupgo.com or chat with us on our website.
Regarding website screenshots, we do support them through our API, but it’s not yet available via the Magic Template URL. We’re working on it and will release it soon. Please check the documentation here for more details: https://markupgo.com/docs/api/image#post-image-from-url
You can also subscribe to our public roadmap. https://markupgo.featurebase.app/p/add-magic-page-url
Yes, currently there is no difference in features between the Plus and Pro plans. The features we release in the future will likely be available for both plans. However, this may change. 🙂
Q: Q1: Magic Link misleading guidance or CDN included:
Until I read your mini guide about magic links, I thought your solution is mainly meant to run at built-time (e.g. package manager to create static assets from dynamic variables I then upload to my CDN). That mini guide however suggests using your solution for e.g. dynamic OG img creation on the webpage. Since that would eat up my credits in no time I kinda believe your guide is misleading or you got a CDN behind and route future request of the same magic link to the generated asset (so its not eating my credits). Can you elaborate? If there is a CDN behind and part of the deal, I simply missed that part totally.
—————-—————-—————-
Q2: Do you use “toDataURL()” locally?
—————-—————-—————-
Q3: Stabillity: Do you use Browser Cache or Blob Storage?
—————-—————-—————-
Q4: Is base64 de-/encode available? F both, In-/Output?
You’re right to consider how Magic Links could impact your credit usage, especially with dynamic content like OG image creation. To clarify, behind the Magic URL, we perform the same operations as you would with our API. The process is identical: we generate the image or PDF based on your template and parameters. Once the file is generated using the Magic URL, it is cached via our CDN. This means that subsequent requests to the same URL will serve the cached version without consuming additional credits. However, even a single character change in the URL will invalidate the cache, as it will be treated as a new conversion. Our main goal with Magic URL is to provide a simple and efficient way to generate images or PDFs from a template. So yes, Magic URL will consume credits just as if you were doing the same thing through our API. You can also see the API activity on your dashboard when you generate an image or PDF via Magic URL by visiting this link: https://markupgo.com/dashboard/activity
2. Using toDataURL():
No, we do not use toDataURL() locally. Our image and PDF generation process is handled on our servers, ensuring the best possible performance and compatibility across different platforms.
3. Stability: Browser Cache or Blob Storage?
For stability, we utilize CDN caching rather than relying on browser cache or blob storage. This approach allows us to efficiently manage and serve assets globally, reducing load times and ensuring consistent performance.
4. Base64 Encoding/Decoding:
We only support Base64 as a buffer response; input is not available. You can use the buffer response for saving the file on your server or for post-processing jobs. You just need to add the ‘buffer’ key to your conversion URL. Please check out this page: https://markupgo.com/docs/api/image#getting-buffer-response
We hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions ❤️
The “All future Lite Plan updates” applies only to Plan 1. Plan 2 is covered under the Plus plan, and Plan 3 is covered under the Pro plan. Plan 3 and above fall under all of the plans.
We already have a public feedback channel where you can submit feature requests, report bugs, and get updates from us: https://markupgo.featurebase.app.

Unfortunately, raster images are pixel-based, while SVG is a vector format. This means that when you convert a raster image to SVG, the quality of the image may not be as good as the original image. This is why we don't have a direct conversion tool for this. ♥️
Hello! Very promising product. Super interested. 1. is it possible to generate images in Webp format? 2. is it possible to perform image transformations via url?
A: Hi pointtwo 🙌, thanks for your interest in MarkupGo!
1. Yes, we support WebP format. Here is en example webp image that just got generated: https://files.markupgo.com/tasks/66923f55c937bb8a3d73a1fb/1724771111693.webp
You just need to specify the format in the request, like this: Please check this page for more information: https://markupgo.com/docs/api/image#image-properties
2. Yes, we support image transformations via URL. Here is an example of a URL that generates a 200x200 thumbnail of the image above: https://files.markupgo.com/tasks/66923f55c937bb8a3d73a1fb/1724771111693.webp?width=200&height=200
There are many other transformations you can perform, such as resizing, cropping, rotating, and more. You can find more information in our documentation: https://markupgo.com/docs/image-transformation
Here is an blurred version of the image above: https://files.markupgo.com/tasks/66923f55c937bb8a3d73a1fb/1724771111693.webp?blur=10
Please let us know if you have any other questions or need further assistance. We are happy to help!
Every successful conversion is counted as one task, whether it’s HTML to Image/PDF, URL to Image/PDF, etc. A task is considered successful if it completes without errors. Failed tasks are not counted. Task usage exceeds the quota when the total number of successful tasks surpasses the quota limit. For instance, if the quota is 1000 tasks, the 1001st task will exceed the quota.
If you exceed the quota, your account will not be suspended unless you are on the free tier. Instead, we will reach out to you to purchase additional credits or upgrade to a higher plan with more credits. After contacting you, we may add the additional usage to your next bill or increase your credits based on your needs.
I am looking at the same thing. IDK that it would need to be a plugin, could probably just use webhooks and api. But the "Featured Image" in WP is the default image for a post/blog. Think of something like a "Youtube Thumbnail" but for articles. Can we set up a template to automate pics when a new blog is published the image has text and an image related to the post title/content, etc?
1 - Using Our Sync API: - The sync API returns both buffer and json response. You can use buffer to save the image to your local storage or use the json response to display the image directly on your website.
With the Sync API, there's no need to set up a webhook. Checkout the sample codes https://markupgo.com/docs/api/image#post-image-from-template
2 - Using Magic Links (Under development): You will be able to use our magic links to create a new image for each blog post using your pre-defined template.
The magic link structure will look like this: - `https://render.markupgo.com/magic/<YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID>.png?title=<YOUR_TITLE>&description=<YOUR_DESCRIPTION>...`
With this URL structure, you can serve the image directly from our server without making any API calls.
Under the hood, we perform the same operations as the API, but you won't need to set up a webhook or make an API call. This URL will generate the image once when it is accessed for the first time. After that, the image will be cached on our server.
If integrated with Activepieces and Albato, the automation tools that were popular with APPSUMO, it would be easy to implement into WordPress. https://www.activepieces.com/pieces/robolly https://albato.com/apps/robolly
MarkupGo focuses in converting web content into high-quality PDFs and images. Anything you can create with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a browser can be transformed into a PDF or image with a single API call. You can store your code in a template and reuse it to generate documents with dynamic data.
This allows you to create a wide range of documents, such as reports, invoices, resumes, and more.
Simply provide your template ID or code, along with the dynamic data, and we’ll generate the PDF or image for you.
Common use cases include:
• PDF Invoices • PDF Reports • Event Banners • PDF Certificates • Resumes • Marketing Materials • User-specific documents
You can also use our API to take a screenshot of a website. Just pass the URL, and we’ll return a screenshot as an image or PDF
A: Hi there! We don't have a video walkthrough yet, but we are working on it. We do have a public roadmap, you can check it out here: https://markupgo.featurebase.app/roadmap. Let us know if you have any other questions!
I was hoping to create amazing looking PDF worksheets for my students. But my question is could I somehow make a workflow that automates PDF creation from other teachers. Using automation software could this be achieved?
Form > ChatGPT > (Response + Formatting) to Markupgo HTTP request > PDF to Google Drive
Something like this... do you have any suggestions or challenges that could occur with this while using your app?
Im a tech noob, but am so keen to understand API code. Thanks so much!
A: Yes, based on your flow after getting the data to create the PDF (it can be HTML or JSON) you can use our API to convert it to a PDF. To able to save the PDF to Google Drive you can use our buffer response feature to save the PDF to Google Drive.
Check out this for more information: https://markupgo.com/docs/api/pdf#post-pdf-from-template
If you have any questions or code sample you can reach out to us at hello@markupgo.com or on our chat support.
Amazing, thanks so much!!! Ok I will have a play with it and ask any followup questions with email. Cheers!
Q: Print-ready data generation - Is Web2Print possible with MarkupGo?
Can MarkupGo be used to create print-ready files in CMYK format with an embedded ICC profile and corresponding DPI and dimensioning in mm instead of pixels? Especially PDF, but also the processing of image data as CMYK.
The aim is to create high-quality data (e.g. PDF/X files) for professional use in the printing sector.
MarkupGo currently supports generating images and PDFs from HTML content but does not directly support your requirements. These requirements are more related to the color management and image processing capabilities. You may need to use a combination of MarkupGo and other tools to achieve this. ♥️
Q: 'Magic Link' security
Firstly, I just want to say that the magic link is a game changer. It certainly opens up lots of opportunities and it's really helped me to get rolling!
I was hoping to provide the Markupgo workflow as a service to others, while using my templates the user will render the image with their own variables.
Is there any wway to protect the final URL? If someone stops to consider their inputs and the variables within the URL they might see that they can bypass me and use all my credits by changing small aspects and re-rendering.
How can this be avoided? is there any workaround or ability to redirect to a URL that is not so obvious to manipulate by the user?
I hope this made sense. Thanks!!!

Q: What is task and how to count?
What is a task, how are tasks counted, and when does the task usage exceed a quota?
togedir
Aug 27, 2024A: Hi witoon 🙌
Every successful conversion is counted as one task, whether it’s HTML to Image/PDF, URL to Image/PDF, etc. A task is considered successful if it completes without errors. Failed tasks are not counted. Task usage exceeds the quota when the total number of successful tasks surpasses the quota limit. For instance, if the quota is 1000 tasks, the 1001st task will exceed the quota.
If you exceed the quota, your account will not be suspended unless you are on the free tier. Instead, we will reach out to you to purchase additional credits or upgrade to a higher plan with more credits. After contacting you, we may add the additional usage to your next bill or increase your credits based on your needs.

Q: Is it possible to automatically generate feature images for WordPress via your product?
togedir
Aug 23, 2024A: Hi @osumo,
Currently, we don’t have a WordPress plugin, but you can use our API to automate your flow.
Could you please clarify your use case? We would love to discuss it internally and consider adding it to our roadmap ❤️

I am looking at the same thing. IDK that it would need to be a plugin, could probably just use webhooks and api. But the "Featured Image" in WP is the default image for a post/blog. Think of something like a "Youtube Thumbnail" but for articles. Can we set up a template to automate pics when a new blog is published the image has text and an image related to the post title/content, etc?
A: Hi @ade0, We have 2 solutions for you:
1 - Using Our Sync API:
- The sync API returns both buffer and json response. You can use buffer to save the image to your local storage or use the json response to display the image directly on your website.
With the Sync API, there's no need to set up a webhook. Checkout the sample codes https://markupgo.com/docs/api/image#post-image-from-template
2 - Using Magic Links (Under development):
You will be able to use our magic links to create a new image for each blog post using your pre-defined template.
The magic link structure will look like this:
- `https://render.markupgo.com/magic/<YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID>.png?title=<YOUR_TITLE>&description=<YOUR_DESCRIPTION>...`
With this URL structure, you can serve the image directly from our server without making any API calls.
Under the hood, we perform the same operations as the API, but you won't need to set up a webhook or make an API call. This URL will generate the image once when it is accessed for the first time. After that, the image will be cached on our server.

If integrated with Activepieces and Albato, the automation tools that were popular with APPSUMO, it would be easy to implement into WordPress.

Q: Use case
Can you give me some examples of what you can do?
Also can I make a screenshot of a website for a swipe?
togedir
Aug 26, 2024A: Hi Chris, ♥️
MarkupGo focuses in converting web content into high-quality PDFs and images. Anything you can create with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a browser can be transformed into a PDF or image with a single API call. You can store your code in a template and reuse it to generate documents with dynamic data.
This allows you to create a wide range of documents, such as reports, invoices, resumes, and more.
Simply provide your template ID or code, along with the dynamic data, and we’ll generate the PDF or image for you.
Common use cases include:
• PDF Invoices
• PDF Reports
• Event Banners
• PDF Certificates
• Resumes
• Marketing Materials
• User-specific documents
You can also use our API to take a screenshot of a website. Just pass the URL, and we’ll return a screenshot as an image or PDF
Here are template and html conversion examples:

Q: My usecase/workflow;
I was hoping to create amazing looking PDF worksheets for my students. But my question is could I somehow make a workflow that automates PDF creation from other teachers. Using automation software could this be achieved?
Form > ChatGPT > (Response + Formatting) to Markupgo HTTP request > PDF to Google Drive
Something like this... do you have any suggestions or challenges that could occur with this while using your app?
Im a tech noob, but am so keen to understand API code. Thanks so much!
togedir
Aug 26, 2024A: Yes, based on your flow after getting the data to create the PDF (it can be HTML or JSON) you can use our API to convert it to a PDF. To able to save the PDF to Google Drive you can use our buffer response feature to save the PDF to Google Drive.
Check out this for more information: https://markupgo.com/docs/api/pdf#post-pdf-from-template
If you have any questions or code sample you can reach out to us at hello@markupgo.com or on our chat support.

Ok I will have a play with it and ask any followup questions with email. Cheers!
Q: Print-ready data generation - Is Web2Print possible with MarkupGo?
Can MarkupGo be used to create print-ready files in CMYK format with an embedded ICC profile and corresponding DPI and dimensioning in mm instead of pixels? Especially PDF, but also the processing of image data as CMYK.
The aim is to create high-quality data (e.g. PDF/X files) for professional use in the printing sector.

Aug 26, 2024A: Hi Ben_H. 🙌
MarkupGo currently supports generating images and PDFs from HTML content but does not directly support your requirements. These requirements are more related to the color management and image processing capabilities. You may need to use a combination of MarkupGo and other tools to achieve this. ♥️
