Hi,

I have a large number of product images that I want to process using the PhotoRoom API. Specifically, I’d like to apply a custom template to each image by referencing a template ID.

I’ve read through the documentation and I understand how to remove backgrounds and resize images using the API. However, I couldn’t find clear instructions on how to apply a specific template using its ID — i.e., how to send an image to the API, apply a predefined template (via template ID), and receive the final image back.

Is it possible to include the template ID in the API request to automate this process?  
**Thanks in advance**

Hi @nikomad9 ,

Thanks for asking this question - this is a newer feature that you’re able to access using Photoroom.

Templates will be created using [app.photoroom.com/create](http://app.photoroom.com/create). I would love to walk you through the process (as it’s brand new) to gather your thoughts and feedback if you’d be open to a 15 minute call?

I’ll send over a DM to coordinate if this is something you’re interested in.

Best,
