## Overview

Templates are ready-made creative workflows inside ElevenCreative. Each template chains together image, video, voice, music, and sound effect models into a single pipeline. You provide the inputs and the template handles the rest.

Templates are built on [ElevenCreative Flows](https://elevenlabs.io/app/flows), our node-based visual workspace combining image, video, voice, music, and sound effects. Anyone can create a template by building a flow, defining its inputs and outputs, and publishing it. You can keep your templates private for personal use or share them with the community for others to browse and run.

## How Templates work

<img src="../img/site-assets/fdr-prod-docs-files-public.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/elevenlabs.docs.buildwithfern.com/f5837081ea8a6c1f0b627d67e6948e4bdb54a9a55da2e0a07fad2cb7215dd341/assets/images/product-guides/workflows/templates-detail-3xg1kd.webp" alt="Templates detail">

Templates are curated pipelines built on the same multi-model infrastructure as ElevenCreative Flows. Each template defines its inputs (images, video, text, audio) and outputs (generated assets), so you know exactly what to provide and what you get back.

When you run a template, it executes a pre-built flow that chains together the necessary models and processing steps. The template handles all configuration and file transfers between steps automatically.

Templates support:

- Multiple input types (images, video, audio, text fields)
- Multiple output assets per template
- One-click execution without manual configuration
- Access via web and mobile app

## Create your own template

You can create your own templates in two ways:

- **From an existing flow**: Open any flow in [ElevenCreative Flows](https://elevenlabs.io/app/flows) and click the **Create Template** button to convert it into a template
- **From scratch**: Click the **+ New Template** button to start building a new template from scratch

When creating a template, you can choose from various sharing options:

When saving your template, choose who can access it:

- **Just me**: the template can only be used by you.
- **Workspace**: the template can be used by anyone in your workspace.
- **Link only**: the template can be used by anyone with the link.
- **Explore**: the template will be submitted for review. Once approved, it will be visible to everyone in the [Templates](https://elevenlabs.io/app/templates) **Explore** tab.

## Billing and pricing

Templates consume credits from your existing plan at the same rate as running the same models manually. There is no additional markup for using Templates.

Credit cost depends on the models used in the template. You can preview the estimated cost before running.

Credit usage is calculated based on:

- Model used for each step
- Duration or size of the output
- Number of outputs generated
