Get ready to add more motion and emotion to your designs! From fully integrated GIF Support to the cinematic Ken Burns animation and polished text background on iOS, this update packs features that elevate storytelling and enhance visual impact. Let’s dive in!

Use GIFs in Your Designs on Web and Mobile

GIFs are now fully integrated into the CE.SDK UI. Add and manage animated images like any other media asset. Drop a GIF into your timeline to play it once, or create a loop by extending its duration. You’re in control.

This update delivers a consistent experience across Web and Mobile, empowering dynamic content creation for social media, marketing, and beyond.

Getting Started:
GIF support itself is built-in—no setup required.
However, to add looping, enable the looping option in your assets. Find platform-specific guidance in our docs:

Add A Cinematic Ken Burns Animation

Give your images a cinematic touch with the new crop-zoom animation in CE.SDK. Inspired by the Ken Burns effect, this feature lets you smoothly pan and zoom across images, creating dynamic storytelling without complex editing.

Apply the Ken Burns animation directly from the CE.SDK animation library on the web. Learn how to use animations and their properties with our documentation.

Add Text Backgrounds on iOS

Make your text pop! Apply solid color backgrounds to text on iOS. Additionally, adjust the padding and rounded corners of your text background.

This feature ensures readability and adds a polished, professional touch to your designs. By elevating text design, your app helps users create visually compelling content that stands out. Available for Web and iOS, soon on Android!
