Your users also gain more creative control with video speed editing. Let’s dive in! ## Scale Your Exports with CE.SDK Renderer We are excited to introduce a **new platform**: CE.SDK Renderer brings production grade exporting to your backend, allowing you to turn CE.SDK templates into finished media with the speed, consistency, and scale required for modern creative automation. ![Export and Batch-render your design variations with CE.SDK Renderer. Perfect for Ad Creations.](https://blog.img.ly/2025/12/Serverside-rendering.jpg) Running the CE.SDK engine natively on your server, the Renderer delivers fast and reliable export of images, PDFs, and fully compliant H.264 and H.265 videos. It removes the limitations of browser and Node based exporting and enables automated, personalized, and high volume content workflows. Packaged as a ready-to-run Docker container, CE.SDK Renderer supports GPU acceleration, batch processing, and predictable output fidelity for enterprise production needs. **Perfect For Your Use Case** CE.SDK Renderer is ideal for dynamic ad creation, personalized video variations, template driven print assets such as postcards or brochures, and large scale automated content generation across marketing, e-commerce, and creative automation platforms. → Explore deep-dive into [CE.SDK Renderer](https://img.ly/blog/ce-sdk-renderer-creative-automation.md) → [View CE.SDK Renderer Documentation](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/renderer/cesdk-renderer-overview-7f3e9a.md) ## Change Video Speed for Fun Video Editing Your users can now change video speed right in the web editor. Slow clips down to spotlight important moments, or speed them up to keep content tight and engaging. This removes the need for external editing apps and keeps more creation inside your product. → [View Payback Speed Documentation](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/create-video/control-daba54.md#playback-speed) ## Enforce Image Ratios on Mobile ![](https://blog.img.ly/2025/12/crop-presets-mobile-sdk.jpg) **Force Crop** is now available for Mobile, as seen for the [Web](https://img.ly/demos/force-crop.md) editor: Force Crop ensures that images and videos always follow the aspect ratio your template requires. If a user uploads media that does not fit the intended layout, the editor automatically crops or guides them through cropping, so the final design looks exactly as intended. It is especially valuable for social stories, ads, marketplace listings, and any workflow where the output size must be precise. Force Crop supports three modes so you can choose how much control you give users: - **silent** Applies the crop automatically without showing the crop UI. - **always** Applies the preset and always opens crop mode, so users can review and adjust. - **ifNeeded** Only opens the crop UI when the media does not match the required ratio. → [View Android Force Crop Documentation](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/android/user-interface/customization/force-crop-c2854e.md) → [View iOS Force Crop Documentation](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/ios/user-interface/customization/force-crop-c2854e.md) ## Customize Your Canvas Menu ![](https://blog.img.ly/2025/12/canvas-menu-drop-down-customization.jpg) When selecting any element, the canvas menu appears and contains a “more options” drown-down section. It is now fully customizable using the builder API. You can add, remove, or reorder menu items and include individual actions (flip, copy, paste, etc.). Get more control over the editor UI, and tailor tools and workflows to your users’ needs. → [Change Canvas Menu Order Documentation](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/api/cesdk-js/classes/userinterfaceapi.md#updatecanvasmenuordercomponent) → [Explore Canvas Menu Documentation](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/user-interface/customization/canvas-menu-0d2b5b.md) ## Enhanced Developer Experience ### Evaluate CE.SDK Without A License CE.SDK now allows a null license value, enabling developers to run the editor in evaluation mode more easily. This simplifies your demo setups, prototyping, and onboarding new developers. No license token is needed during early development stages. Applies to: Web, iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native. Includes a watermark. ## Improvements **Confirm Edits with Enter** Number and text fields in the **Web editor** now update only when users press _Enter_ or click away.
