Welcome to the latest update of CE.SDK! We are bringing you new features that enhance your app's creative capabilities and user experience. This release includes Configurations for a Design Editor or Photo Editor on iOS and Android, Plugins, Voiceover Capabilities, and more.
With this release, you can:
Integrate a Design Editor on iOS and Android
Get started with our new Design Editor configuration for iOS and Android. The out-of-the-box package is designed for easy creation and management of multipage designs.
Users can switch between editing and the page overview mode to review and adjust their work.
Keep the design process straightforward and efficient: the editor features a dock at the bottom, offering convenient access to essential tools like adding text, images, stickers, and uploading new assets. Additionally, you can insert a photo directly from your camera.
Key Features
Page Management
Create and manage your design pages within a template. It’s easy to create fun carousel posts, as seen on Instagram and LinkedIn, or create a series. Head to the ‘Pages’ icon on the top right bar. In the page overview, you can create, duplicate, and edit a page. Lastly, you can change the order of pages by moving them up and down.
Image Settings
Selecting an image lets you fine-tune adjustment settings, and add filters, effects, or blur. Easily crop, straighten, rotate, or flip images.
Try the Design Editor Configuration on iOS and Android.
Use Plugins to Customize UI and Add Quick Actions
We're excited to introduce the first part of our plugin release for CE.SDK on the web: with this release, you can tailor the editor’s UI elements, reorder components, and add quick actions like background removal.
We’ve enabled extension points within key areas of the UI: the Canvas, Navigation bar, Inspector Bar, Dock, and Canvas Menu. Modify the appearance of existing features, register new components, and integrate quick actions. For example, you can add a "Background Removal" button directly in the Canvas Menu or create complex interactions like custom cut-out lines.

Add Voiceovers to Videos on iOS
Add voiceover tracks directly within your mobile app, making your projects more dynamic and engaging. Whether creating a tutorial, narrating a slideshow, or adding commentary to a video, this feature allows you to seamlessly record, edit, and integrate voiceovers.
The popular feature, as enjoyed on TikTok and Instagram, is a staple for content creation and adds a personal touch to video creations.
To get started, navigate to “Add Audio”, select “Voiceover” section and start recording. You can preview the recording, re-record it, and add more audio, such as music. Adjust the audio levels for a balanced background track.
