Use Channable's dynamic Image Editor to combine data and image optimization to create impactful, optimized product ads for social campaigns, directly from your feed, at scale.
Use cases for the Image Editor
With Channable's Image Editor, you can add additional images, text or other content to your product images, helping you make highly relevant product ads.
With Channable this is done dynamically. You create a template once, and by connecting project fields you can apply this template to all your products.
Some examples on how to optimize your product images are:
- Add a logo and other visual elements for improved brand visibility
- Include multiple images of a product to showcase your product
- Add text such as a sale price or title to increase relevance
Image Rules and templates
Image Rules
There are two main components of the Channable tool which you will utilize to enhance your image data. This first component is the Image Editor itself, which is used to edit templates that can be applied to product images. The second component, are the Image Rules, which are used to apply these created templates to items.
The Image rules tab is found in the channel's Rules step. Set up image rules to:
- Filter items to be included in a rule using the IF-part of the rule.
- Apply templates to included items using the THEN-part of the rule.
- Store the URL to the edited image in a specified image field of the item.
- Access the Image Editor to edit your templates, or create new templates.
- Image rules are different from regular rules: An item can only be edited by one rule, which is the first rule one that selects it. Rules that follow will not select that item.
- The output of an Image rule is a URL of the edited image, and is stored in the specified result field of the rule. So, applying a template means that each item that is selected by the rule will be used as input for the specified template. Any dynamic data in the template will be filled using the fields of the item, and a new image will be generated. This image will have the PNG-format, and is stored by Channable.
Templates
Templates are the 'instructions' on how to edit/create with the Image Editor, and are applied to items using the Image rules.
Image Editor
Use the Image Editor to create new templates by creating an image rule.
To edit existing templates, select an existing template in the THEN-part of the rule (1) and click Image editor (2):
The templates you create in the Image Editor can be used throughout your Channable company. You can create a template for a specific export feed and then reuse these templates for other channels across your company.
