Advanced Features
Capabilities that go beyond a basic template — per-layer conditions, independent angles, and safe experimentation.
Beyond the Basics
Once a template covers the essentials, a few less obvious capabilities let you go further — showing a layer only in specific cases, combining two independent kinds of rotation, and branching off a variant without risking the original.
🟦 Per-layer visibility conditions
Any single layer can have its own “Visible when” condition — the same condition types as Assignment rules (Category, Tag, Meta Box field, ACF field), but scoped to just that one layer instead of the whole template. Useful for a small addition like a “Featured” badge that should only appear on posts in a specific category, without duplicating the entire template just to add or remove one element.
🟩 Two independent angles: rotation and gradient direction
A layer’s Rotation turns the whole layer as one block — background, border, corner radius, everything together, around its own center. A rectangle’s Gradient angle is entirely separate: it only changes the direction the color transition runs in, inside a shape that itself never rotates. The two can be combined freely and never affect each other.
🟧 Pixels vs percentages
A layer’s position and size are always percentages of the canvas, so a template scales cleanly at any resolution. Corner radius and border width are the exception — both are stored in absolute pixels. This is why the live preview, rendered at a smaller scale than the final image, can look proportionally more rounded than the real output — an expected difference, not a bug; Check the real output always shows the true result.
🟥 Limiting text to a fixed number of lines
A Text layer’s Max lines setting stops content — like a long post title — after a fixed number of lines instead of overflowing its box. Left at its default, text wraps and grows with no limit.
🟫 Branching a variant without touching the original
Duplicate creates a fully independent copy of a template, and remembers exactly how that copy looked the moment it was created. Undo changes since duplicating — available only on a duplicated template — reverts everything back to that starting point, however many edits and saves happened since, without ever touching the original template it was copied from.
