OneTimeTurn a spreadsheet into a quarter of on-brand posts — bought once.
Canva Pro is $12.99 a month, forever — $156 a year — and you still make one design at a time. Postcraft Templates is deliberately not another Canva: it's a batch machine that turns a content calendar into finished graphics. $19 once, 100% local, and it makes twenty posts from a spreadsheet.
Postcraft Templates in 60 seconds
Everything in the box
Offline batch generator that renders a CSV of headlines into branded graphics at every platform size in one pass.
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.

Fair questions
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.
