Automate with the API

Generate table images programmatically. Render KPI dashboards, reports, and data snapshots as images for Slack, email, and presentations.

index.js
// 1. Build your HTML table from data
const data = [
  ["Name", "Role", "Status"],
  ["Alice", "Engineer", "Active"],
  ["Bob", "Designer", "Active"],
];

const header = data[0].map(h => `<th>$${h}</th>`).join("");
const rows = data.slice(1).map(r =>
  `<tr>$${r.map(c => `<td>$${c}</td>`).join("")}</tr>`
).join("");

// 2. Wrap in styled HTML template
const html = `<html><head><style>
  body { padding:48px; background:#f1f7ff; font-family:Inter,sans-serif }
  table { width:100%; border-collapse:collapse }
  thead { background:#0f3c6e; color:#fff }
  th,td { padding:14px 18px; text-align:left }
  tbody tr:nth-child(even) { background:#f5f9ff }
</style></head><body>
  <table><thead><tr>$${header}</tr></thead>
  <tbody>$${rows}</tbody></table>
</body></html>`;

// 3. Call Pictify API
const response = await fetch("https://api.pictify.io/image", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": `Bearer $${YOUR_API_KEY}`
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ html, width: 1200, height: 630, fileExtension: "png" })
});

const { image } = await response.json();
console.log(image.url); // https://cdn.pictify.io/img/abc123.png
Overview

Why teams choose this workflow

1

Charts, tables, and dashboards often need to be distributed outside analytics tools. Exporting to PDF or PowerPoint can strip styling, while screenshots blur text. Converting HTML tables directly ensures your data remains legible and branded.

2

Product and ops teams use this workflow to send executive summaries, embed KPIs in slide decks, or publish weekly metrics in internal wikis.

Deep Dive

The Context

Business intelligence and analytics teams constantly need to share data tables and
dashboards outside their analytics tools. Traditional methods like screenshots produce blurry images,
especially with small fonts. Exporting to PDF often strips custom styling and breaks layouts.
Pictify's HTML table to image converter renders your styled tables exactly as designed, producing
crisp, professional images perfect for slide decks, Notion wikis, Slack updates, and executive reports.
Tables with alternating row colors, custom fonts, and complex layouts all render perfectly. Use our
API to automate weekly report generation, creating fresh dashboard snapshots every Monday for
stakeholder distribution.
Perfect For

Who uses this?

  • Data teams generating weekly KPI snapshots for executive updates
  • BI analysts embedding dashboard views in Confluence or Notion
  • Sales ops sharing pipeline reports without granting CRM access
  • Finance teams creating audit-ready financial statement images
  • Product managers distributing usage metrics in slide decks

Problems Solved

Blurry screenshots that undermine data credibility

Copy/paste into spreadsheets interrupts styling and formatting

Sharing dashboards with external stakeholders without granting tool access

Step-by-step workflow

1

Capture the HTML

Use your data layer to output HTML tables with inline CSS for fonts, colors, and spacing.

2

Select high-resolution output

For enterprise dashboards, 1920×1080 or 1600×900 provides a crisp slide-ready asset.

3

Generate and embed

Drop the image in decks, Confluence, or Slack. CDN hosting gives you a shareable link as well.

Developer Friendly

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I render tables wider than 1920px?
Yes. Increase the custom canvas size before generating the image. Pictify supports up to 4000×4000 pixels.
Do sticky headers or alternating row colors work?
Any CSS that is supported by Chromium will display. Inline the relevant CSS to ensure consistent output.
Can I automate weekly dashboard images?
Absolutely. Use the Pictify API to render table snapshots on a schedule. Combine with your BI tool exports for fully automated reporting.
What about charts and graphs?
If your charts render as HTML/SVG, Pictify will capture them. For canvas-based charts, export as SVG first or use our chart element in the editor.
