kalpanaWhy long product titles break bulk creatives, and how auto-layout fixes it
Most bulk image tools fill text into fixed boxes. Here is why that breaks on real catalogs, and what it takes for a layout to adapt to every row.

Most bulk creative tools work the same way: a design has fixed boxes, and each row’s text is poured into them. It works on the demo data. Then a real catalog arrives.
What goes wrong
- A twelve-word product title overflows its box or gets shrunk to an unreadable size.
- A missing discount leaves an empty badge sitting on the image.
- A German or Hindi translation is a third longer than the English.
What a layout needs to do instead
The design needs rules, not just positions. In Figma, those rules are auto-layout: direction, spacing, padding, and whether a box hugs its content or fills its parent. If those rules are re-applied for every row, a long title simply grows its box and pushes the price down.
That is what Kalpana does. It keeps your Figma auto-layout and resolves it again for every row before creating the image.
How to test any tool
Take your ten messiest products: the longest names, the missing images, the odd prices. Run them through the tool before you commit. The results will tell you more than any feature list.
