DynaPictures GmbH · dynapictures.com since 2021 · who's behind it
DynaPictures, from DynaPictures GmbH in Freiburg, fills templates made in its no-code editor with data to produce images, multi-page PDFs, countdown timer GIFs and AI images, through a REST API, image URLs, forms and a remote MCP server.
Best for Personalised images and PDFs per record, image URLs in emails and pages, and email countdown timers, for marketing teams in the EU.
Viewed under 500 times in the last 30 days · Claim it, free, to see who finds it
Is this your product? Claim it to see how agents find it: lookups through the API, MCP and letme, the comparisons it's in, and what people search for in Assets. Free, and it never changes the grade. Or verify it, or log in if it's already claimed.
Assessment. An OpenAPI 3.1 file, an agent skill and a six-month removal notice with Sunset headers make DynaPictures' template rendering easy to plan around, with a free plan and no-card trial. The single API key opens the whole account, requests aren't idempotent, and no changelog, status page or dated release was found.

From our research 5 facts checked against the vendor's pages
- Surface listed
- The REST API at api.dynapictures.com and the remote MCP server at mcp.dynapictures.com/mcp, read from the OpenAPI file, the API reference, llms.txt, auth.md, the agent skill, the MCP server card, the pricing, about, terms and privacy pages on 6 November 2026. No account was made, no tool was listed or called
- MCP tools
- Per llms.txt, tools list workspaces and designs, generate images, build image links, run AI image generation, manage media and author designs layer by layer. The tool list wasn't read, since that needs an MCP session
- Outputs
- PNG, JPEG, WEBP or AVIF images, multi-page PDFs, countdown timer GIFs for email, and standalone AI images
- Limits
- Monthly image quota reported in RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining and RateLimit-Reset on generation; 403 when it is used up. GET /links answers 503 with Retry-After when busy
- Legal entity
- DynaPictures GmbH, Zasiusstr. 6a, 79102 Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, per the terms and privacy policy. Sales through FastSpring as reseller
Facts verified 6 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown
Strengths
- OpenAPI 3.1 with 20 paths, llms.txt, auth.md and an agent skill written for agents
- Removals announced six months ahead with Deprecation and Sunset headers
- Free plan and a 14-day trial with 30 API credits, no card
- Identical image URLs return a cached image without using another credit
- Terms guarantee 94 per cent annual availability; AI sub-processors named in the privacy policy
Weaknesses
- One API key per user with full account access and no scopes; a new key needs an email to support
- Generation requests aren't idempotent, so a retry can spend a second credit
- No changelog, status page or dated release found
- The docs' Errors section is unedited template text
- Not in the official MCP registry, and plan prices are drawn by script
Before you call it notes for agents
- Use
GET /templatesto find a template UID and its layer names before generating - Check whether an image exists before retrying a timed-out
POST /designs/{UID}; retries can be charged - Treat 403 as a spent quota or expired trial and stop; wait for
Retry-Afteronly on 503 - Poll
GET /ai/generate/{jobUid}about every 2 seconds and download the result, since the URL may expire - Keep the API key out of image URLs; use signed or public links for embedding

- Alexander VushkanManaging Director
DynaPictures GmbH on LinkedIn @AskDynaPictures
Researched 6 November 2026 from public pages. The about page, read 6 November 2026, lists Alexander Vushkan as Managing Director, with others in marketing, partnerships, DevOps and product roles, links no personal accounts and says DynaPictures was founded in 2020 as a spin-off. No DynaPictures page calls anyone a founder. A web search turned up a Product Hunt profile that describes Oleksandr Vushkan as a co-founder of DynaPictures, but Product Hunt answered with a bot check, so it wasn't read and no founder flag is set. The terms and privacy policy name DynaPictures GmbH, Zasiusstr. 6a, 79102 Freiburg im Breisgau. Investors were looked for on the about page, the sitemap, llms.txt, the legal pages and in that search; none is named, and no round, total or valuation is stated anywhere read. Shown for information, not part of the grade yet. People's accounts link to their own profiles; check them before you rely on one.

Notable
- OpenAPI 3.1 with 20 paths, from generation and batch jobs to layer-by-layer design authoring, workspaces, media and hooks source
- Removals are announced at least 6 months ahead in the API reference, with
DeprecationandSunsetheaders in that time, and changes are otherwise additive source - llms.txt, auth.md and an agent skill say when to use the API, that requests aren't idempotent, and how to handle each error status source
- The terms guarantee 94 per cent annual availability, with maintenance windows outside working hours source
- The API reference's Errors section is unedited template text about kittens, not DynaPictures' errors source
- AI images go to OpenAI, Google, Black Forest Labs or Replicate as named sub-processors source

Score breakdown methodology v0.7 · October 2026 research run
Assessed on 6 November 2026 from public evidence, against the published checklist. Confidence medium. Performance and Task success are pending until our probes and task suites run, so the total is over the 7 assessed categories, each weight divided by 80.
| Category | Weight this run | Score | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reliabilitychecked 6 November 2026 | 16%20 | 8.4 | |
| Hosted lines. No status page found in the docs, llms.txt or footer (0). No readable incident history (5). The monthly image quota is reported in RateLimit headers on generation, but no per-second or per-minute limit is published (5 of 15). The agent skill gives a status table with what to do for each, GET /links sends Retry-After on 503, and the docs warn that generation isn't idempotent and to check before retrying a 504 (12 of 15). The terms guarantee 94 per cent annual availability, a low figure but a published SLA (10). Nothing is labelled beta (10). 0 + 5 + 5 + 12 + 10 + 10 = 42. | |||

| OpenAPI 3.1 at dynapictures.com/openapi.json with 20 paths (25). llms.txt, auth.md and an agent skill in Markdown (10). llms.txt says when to use the product and when it's a poor fit, and the skill gives call order for each job (17 of 20). Enums for formats and options, with layer overrides keyed by layer name (12 of 15). Request examples throughout and a status table in the skill, but the API reference's Errors section is unedited Slate template text about kittens (9 of 15). No URL version, additive changes, removals announced six months ahead with Deprecation and Sunset headers, and no changelog (9 of 15). 25 + 10 + 17 + 12 + 9 + 9 = 82. | |||
| Agent ergonomicschecked 6 November 2026 | 13%16.2 | 7.3 | |
The MCP tool definitions weren't read (listing them needs a session), and llms.txt describes groups that include layer-by-layer design authoring, so the count is unknown. REST responses are small objects with image URLs (12 of 25). Template and generated-image listings, with no field selection documented (10 of 20). Errors are JSON with a message and documented statuses, without codes (12 of 20). Requests aren't idempotent, by the vendor's own note, though identical image URLs are served from cache without a credit (6 of 20). An Editor SDK for embedding the editor, and no API client SDKs (5 of 15). 12 + 10 + 12 + 6 + 5 = 45. | |||
| Security & authchecked 6 November 2026 | 14%17.5 | 4.5 | |
| One API key per user with the user's full access, not limited to workspaces or actions; a new key is requested by email to support, with no rotation in the account (10 of 30). No read-only mode, and the MCP server can author and change designs (3 of 20). Tools return the account's own templates and renders; image layers accept outside URLs (10 of 15). A list of generated images, with no audit log documented (3 of 15). No security.txt, disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found (0). 10 + 3 + 10 + 3 + 0 = 26. | |||

Free plan and a 14-day trial with 30 API credits, no card (20). auth.md says a person has to copy the key; there is no OAuth or programmatic key (0). 0 + 10 + 20 + 0 = 30. | |||

| Closed service under terms (revision 2/2026) from DynaPictures GmbH in Freiburg, for business customers (15). The privacy policy names the controller, keeps generated images as long as needed or until deleted, gives plan image retention (3 months on Lite), and says the named AI providers don't train on API inputs under their API terms; other periods follow bookkeeping law (20 of 30). The OpenAPI file commits to six months' notice before removing an endpoint or field, with Deprecation and Sunset headers (16 of 20). AI sub-processors named with addresses (OpenAI, Google, Black Forest Labs, Replicate) and FastSpring for payments, while hosting providers aren't named (12 of 20). 15 + 20 + 16 + 12 = 63. | |||

Graded 43.2 E methodology v0.7
Fix list 18 items, the biggest gain first
Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on DynaPictures. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.
You're lucky. As part of the beta, your first month is free.
What we couldn't check
- unchecked: the MCP server's tool list and annotations, because listing them needs an MCP session.
- unchecked: plan prices, which the FastSpring checkout script fills in.
- Whether API calls are included on the free plan beyond the trial's 30 credits.
- The rate limit per second or minute, which isn't published.
