Hey Hunters, Thanks, @__tosh for hunting CreativeEditor SDK. It’s been a while since our first product, PhotoEditor SDK, was hunted here. Since then, IMG.LY has grown from just a few people to a team of over 40, empowering over 1000+ customers with our SDKs! We gained unique insights into creative tools and workflows across industries and use cases and realised they all have much in common. We realised that we want to provide the building blocks to bring creativity to all corners of the internet :). So we went back to the drawing board and started building an entirely new engine from the ground up. Today we released the product build on this engine: Meet CE.SDK! CE.SDK is a fully customisable design editor, empowering template-based workflows and automation: Whether you want users to build a story from within your app, add easily customisable print products, or equip stakeholders across your company with design. CE.SDK makes this all possible with just a few lines of code. We appreciate any feedback on our new SDK (check out the demo on our website). Please stay tuned: there are many exciting features on our roadmap! Thank you for the support!

After going to your questions, here is some additional information around our new product. The editor is built from the ground up to empower your app or website with a fully customizable creative editor. It is a creative engine that lets developers build and integrate their own version of this editor into your app. You can customize it to your needs and embed the full editor inside your app's workflows without your users ever leaving your app or realizing that it's a third-party component. Check out the "Customize Editor" option on our landing-page or our developer documentation to get a glimpse of what is possible.

@toshiyori this was so much fun to work on! Really proud of my team @imgly. I kind of would like the cat shirt now, though!

Is this SaaS only or can it also be installed On-Prem?
Daniel Hauschildt
Maker
@othylmann It's fully on-premise running in the browser and all assets, images, and data are under your control. Besides the web/browser-based version we will provide server solutions for automation, but also mobile versions of the SDKs. Note, that the SDK is built to seamlessly integrate into your apps and can be customized heavily, in terms of look & feel.

Looks amazing! Fun to use, and there are great templates. Congrats 🥳🧑‍🎨. I wonder, will you support animation and video? @toshiyori
Daniel Hauschildt
Maker
@toshiyori @cem_selcuk Our goal is to have solution that can serve any creative workflow. That said, we understand that animation and video support are essential to some use cases. We already have some ideas how this will work in our editor / SDK. Expect this to be rolled out early next year!
Cem Selçuk
@toshiyori @danielhauschil1 Exciting! Looking forward to it🙌

Been looking forward to see UBQ in action, everything is extremely smooth! Well done! One question though: the WASM binary is pretty heavy with 13mb in size. Are you planning on splitting functionalities into multiple binaries?
Daniel Hauschildt
Maker
@sascha_gehlich Thanks for the feedback. 13 MB in size seems much, but fortunately all modern browser use gzip or brotli to deliver the assets and the WASM file compressed very well down to round about 2.3 MB which is comparable to some high resolution images.
But, to answer your question we are planning to split the WASM file into multiple chunks in the future and introduce an extension system in the next month.

I have a huge React application. Does it have a React API or React bindings?
Daniel Hauschildt
Maker
@sippndipp We provide bindings for all major frameworks including React and provide example code and guides for it. Just checkout our developer guides at https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/web/ge...
Till Ohrmann
Awesome! Can you say something about the pricing?
Eray Basar
Maker
@till_ohrmann Hi Till, we're doing a value base pricing, looking into the use case and the value our SDK generates. Based on the insights, we're suggesting different licensing options, with the goal to have a win win situation :) We will definitely introduce a smalll business pricing plan, like for our other SDKs to provide a fixed pricing for small companies / startups. Hope this helps!

This looks incredible! Congrats on the launch. I'm not a developer (so I might ask something stupid) but can the editor be used to export html/css? and basically be a website builder?
Daniel Hauschildt
Maker
Thanks @lucandrei! The editor is mainly focussed on generating print or web ready output such as png, jpeg and soon PDF and SVG files. HTML/CSS will eventually be possible but just to export web advertisements and not full webpages.
Andrei Luca
@danielhauschil1 I understand. Would it be possible for someone to use your SDK and build the "full webpage export" feature? I guess I'm asking if devs can use your UI and logic to build on top of it.
Daniel Hauschildt
Maker
@lucandrei In general, we also have an api that can be used go through the document and get its properties. So, one could build an exporter on top of that and generate html/css own your own.

Wow congrats team, this looks amazing!

@dlwlrma_kr let us know if you want to discuss your use case or if you have any questions!

I was looking for a solution my marketing team can use to work with agencies and designers. As far as I understand your product is suited for this type of collaboration? Will you support SVG, or PSD imports?
Daniel Hauschildt
Maker
@niklas1 This is definitely something we'd like to provide. We understand that many designers still want to use their adobe products, so we will provide imports for the most popular file formats. At the same time our authoring environment will become even more powerful over the next few months: I'm sure that this will attract professional designers to work entirely on our platform.
Manuel Koelman
Wow. That looks pretty cool. Do you provide templates we can ship directly with the editor, or do we have to build them ourselves?
Daniel Hauschildt
Maker
@manuelkoelman You can do both. Either build them from scratch inside the editor itself and use our template constraints to define what template users should be able to modify later. Or, use one of our predefined templates. We are currently in the process of extending the templates and more and more will become available. For a quick look at a few examples take a look at the example integration of the editor on the landing page https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/. In the next weeks, we will showcase and provide a lot more examples of templates.

Runs super smooth on desktop. Do you have a mobile SDK as well?
Daniel Hauschildt
Maker
@marcel_groe Both iOS & Android SDKs are next up on our roadmap. Get in touch with us so we can discuss your requirement and our timelines
Marcel Grödl
@danielhauschil1 will do. Thanks!

Nice!
