Postcraft Templates features
🧱 Card presets
Quote, headline, stat, testimonial and image+headline cards, with every zone defined fractionally so one template renders at every size.
🎨 Locked brand kit
Background, panel, accent and text colors, font family and logo set once and applied to every graphic.
📑 CSV batch generation
Columns for headline, subtext, attribution and image, parsed by a zero-dependency RFC 4180 parser that handles quoted commas and newlines.
🔤 Auto-fit text
A shrink-to-fit engine wraps and scales long headlines so nothing ever overflows or clips.
📐 Multi-size export in one pass
IG post, IG story, Facebook, X and LinkedIn sizes from one template in a single export.
👁 Live preview grid
See the first dozen graphics re-render as you tweak brand colors.
🖥 Headless CLI
An npm run batch command drives the pure-Node render pipeline for automation, no window needed.
$19 once — that's the whole pricing page
Canva Pro charges $12.99/mo — roughly $156 a year, every year. Postcraft Templates is a single payment, and it keeps working whether or not we ever sell another copy.

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Postcraft Templates is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/social-media-graphics-templates-mvp. The $19 buys the packaged Windows installer; building from source is free.
Is this a replacement for Canva?
No, and it's honest about that. Canva is a full design suite; Postcraft is a batch machine for repeatable branded posts. If you tweak every post by hand, keep Canva.
Does my content go to a cloud?
Never. It's 100% local — no accounts, no telemetry, and files land in a folder you pick.
