AAn exciting new future 
for templating

2026 upgrade for Resourcebase dynamic artwork

Resourcebase is being transformed in 2026 with an all-new template platform that keeps the best of what we already have, and supercharges it with a wealth of new features:

Live previews

Users will see live previews of text and images as they edit, improving accuracy and error checking, and reducing the time it takes to complete their customisation. Final files will also download much more quickly.

Faster tagging

Tagging is done online using a fast, efficient new interface, without the need for a separate desktop app. 




Animation tools for web and social

Template editors can easily design  templates with moving text, images and objects for web and social banners.
End-users can then apply variable content for localisation.



Video templates

A major new feature adds a tool to build video templates, combining a selection  of brand-controlled video segments with variable text, design and logo – ideal for social media.


Dynamic re-size

Designers will be able to create once and then re-size many times for different formats and layouts for web and print layouts. End-users will be able to quickly select from pre-determined options.


Online template artwork creation

Designers will have a new approach to create, replicate and re-purpose new template artwork, at pace.
This is an alternative to the current InDesign and PDF workflow and will accelerate less complex tasks.

Mass personalisation

Connect your templates to a data source to automatically generate multiple artwork versions at scale.


Ideal for direct mail campaigns and personalised brochures and flyers.


AI image studio

Designers will be able to access a suite of advanced AI creative tools including the removal of background in images, cut-outs and the vectorisation of logo images and bitmap graphics.

 And some other benefits...

  • Brand kit to consolidate brand components (fonts, colours, styles, logos)
  • Design validation tools to preflight print projects
  • Right-to-left font handling (for Arabic type, etc.)
  • Improved auto-generation of QR code artwork
  • Content moderation tools to flag text and images that violate your guidelines
  • Integration if required with additional commercial image libraries
  • Multi-design style options from common data for demographic marketing

 What happens next?

In the first half of 2026:


  • We'll migrate the current templates into the new platform. We'll do this as seamlessly as possible and without interruption to the current operation.
  • We'll ask you for InDesign files for the current templates. If InDesign is not available, we'll work from PDF files.
  • End-users will enjoy a seamless changeover and they'll start to notice the instant previews and fast file deliveries!
  • We'll be offering training to designers to work with the new template management and tagging functions.


In the second half of 2026:


  • We'll start introducing the new functions such as dynamic re-size, animation and video templates.
  • Our clients will be asked what's most most valuable to them and we'll give those features priority.


 What does it all cost?

  • Most of the enhanced functionality is being introduced free of charge.
  • There will be a small charge for the optional premium tools for animation and video templating.
