Layouts

Layouts are the foundation for generating images in Squarebox. A layout acts as a template where placeholders for variable data (like names, details, or contact information) are pre-defined. Users can select or create layouts before generating dynamic images.

Layouts allow businesses to maintain design consistency and flexibility while personalizing content for campaigns, promotions, or events.
