How to create lots of image files with the same template

New Here ,
Aug 24, 2018 Aug 24, 2018

Hi, I have a blank greeting card image that I would like to use as a template to create lots of png files. I have a folder full of these images I would like to place within this template and save as individual png files but am not sure how to do this or what search terms I can use to find a tutorial on how to do this. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks

InDesign (InDesign Data Merge); Illustrator (Illustrator – Variables) and Photoshop (Photoshop Variables) can create multiple output files from a template file. As PNG is a raster image format, Photoshop would generally be considered the most appropriate and direct tool, followed by Illustrator.

This really sounds more like you should use Photoshop instead.

Jongware, why would photoshop be better? I thought indesign would be faster as I have around 50 files to create
