# What is a Template?

# What is a Template?

A **template** in Templated is a **dynamic design blueprint** made up of multiple **layers**.  
Each layer can represent text, images, shapes, or colors, and together they define the overall layout and style of your design.

Because templates are **dynamic**, you can replace or customize their content at any time—such as changing the text, swapping an image, or adjusting colors—while keeping the design structure intact.

For example:
* A social media post template might include:
* A background image layer  
* A title text layer  
* A price text layer  
* A logo image layer  

When you create a **render**, these layers are filled with your actual data, producing the final design.

Think of it this way:  
* **Template** = the dynamic structure (layers + style).  
* **Render** = the finished product (your data applied to the template).
