Photo Editor: Preset Templates

Preset Templates are designed to kickstart your photo template creation in the Photo Editor instead of building every template from scratch. There is a growing library of ready-to-use  layouts that are available to every True Anthem customer. These templates are also equipped with True Anthem’s built-in design best practices.

The Preset Templates are sized for the most commonly used aspect ratios (ex. 4:5 and square).

Since every campaign automatically has access to the full library of Preset Templates, there is no need (nor ability) to share Preset Templates between campaigns. 

Creating custom graphics for every post can consume valuable editing time. Preset Templates help streamline that process in several ways:

• Built-in Best Practices: Every preset comes with visual enhancements—such as subtle dark gradients for readable white text over bright images—and automatic headline mapping to ensure text populates seamlessly.
• Faster Workflow: Skip setting up canvas dimensions, text boxes, and dynamic fields. Simply choose a preset layout that matches your post's goals.
• Fully Customizable: Presets serve as a starting point. You can easily adjust colors, upload your brand logo, tweak font styles, or add accent lines to reflect your brand kit.
• Error-Free Automation: Preset layouts are designed to prevent text runoff and formatting issues when automated across your queue slots.
