What Changes When You Move From CraftMyPDF
Marketing PDFs With the Image Formats Around Them
A certificate or a ticket rarely travels alone: it needs a share image, a web version and sometimes a slide. DynaPictures renders the PDF and the PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF or PowerPoint versions from the same template and the same data.
AI Images and Faces Done Right
AI image layers are filled by one of 12 models, and photo layers crop around faces, so badges, speaker cards and certificates with portraits look right without editing each photo.
Events Beyond the Ticket
The event marketing module gives every speaker, sponsor and attendee a personal banner and a share page, then attributes registrations to each share with a conversion pixel. Its free tier covers 1 campaign and 10 people.
How to Switch From CraftMyPDF to DynaPictures
1. Rebuild the Template
CraftMyPDF templates do not import. Recreate the design in the DynaPictures editor, page by page, with your fonts and images.
2. Map Your JSON to Layers
Name each layer after the field that fills it and send the values to the REST API; webhooks report finished files.
3. Reconnect Your Automations
Zaps move to the DynaPictures Zapier app; Make and n8n call the API through their HTTP modules; spreadsheets come in as CSV, XLS or XLSX.
Who Considers Moving From CraftMyPDF
Teams Issuing Certificates and Badges
Designed certificates and badges as PDF for print and PNG for LinkedIn, from one template.
Event Organizers
Tickets, badges and speaker banners, plus attribution of the registrations that sharing brought in.
Marketers Adding AI Imagery
AI backgrounds and illustrations generated inside a fixed layout.
Teams Connecting AI Assistants
An MCP server with 17 tools lets an assistant list designs and render them. CraftMyPDF's own comparison page says it has none.

Frequently Asked Questions
Probably not. Invoices need line items that grow, expressions and tables, which CraftMyPDF and APITemplate.io are built for. DynaPictures fits designed documents with a fixed layout, such as certificates, tickets and badges.
