That kept our team focused on our core AI ad engine and saved us countless development hours — while still giving our customers the ability to polish and customize creatives at scale." -- Hikari Senju, CEO, Omneky > "With IMG.LY we built a central creative portal that now powers over 140 dealer campaigns across multiple automotive brands. Before this, asset creation was slow and inconsistent." -- Martin Röhr, Product Owner, Digitas > "By embedding IMG.LY’s editor we were able to hit key RFP requirements and deliver a template-based creative experience that now serves 1,000+ customers. It helped us win more deals and exceed enterprise expectations without needing to hire dedicated design teams." -- Rob Driscoll, Director of PM, Optimizely > "Since integrating IMG.LY’s editor, we now deliver 30,000+ ad creatives per month, dramatically shorten time-to-launch, and help our clients cut design spend by up to $10,000 per month." -- Logan Welbaum, Founder, Plai > "Our customers create over a million personalized postcards each year choosing from over hundreds of templates with IMG.LY’s SDK. It’s the only solution that allows us to build our own specialized, on-brand UI that integrates seamlessly with our platform." -- Jeanine Zaalberg, Product Manager, SwissPost > "From a developer’s perspective, the most powerful feature of the photo editor is the integration process. It was completely flawless, quick, and easy to integrate." -- Stefano Fornari, CTO, Funambol > "We compared IMG.LY SDK with other solutions and found that it would be the best fit for us since it provides all the features that are crucial for our use case." -- Carem Pereira, SCRUM Manager, HP Built for modern\ software teams -------------- IMG.LY is built for teams that need creative capabilities to become part of the product experience. ### IMG.LY stands for: - **Flexibility over rigid workflows** — Adapt the experience to your product, brand, and use case. - **Production-ready building blocks** — Start with proven infrastructure instead of building from scratch. - **User experiences that feel familiar** — Help end users create faster with intuitive, approachable workflows. - **Control where it matters** — Keep ownership over how creative functionality fits into your product. From Idea to\ PoC — Faster ------------ With Agent Skills,\ IMG.LY helps teams move even faster. ### Agent Skills accelerate validation Agent Skills allow non-technical stakeholders to build proofs of concept quickly and autonomously. Instead of waiting for engineering resources just to validate an idea, teams can explore use cases earlier, demonstrate value internally, and build momentum faster. This shortens feedback loops, improves collaboration across functions, and speeds up time to market even further. #### Claude Code Step 1: Add the marketplace (one-time setup) ```bash claude plugin marketplace add imgly/agent-skills ``` Step 2: Install the plugin ```bash claude plugin install cesdk@imgly ``` #### Vercel Skills CLI Step 1: Install all skills for Claude Code ```bash npx skills add imgly/agent-skills -a claude-code ``` Step 2: Install a specific skill only ```bash npx skills add imgly/agent-skills --skill docs-react -a claude-code ``` Step 3: List available skills first ```bash npx skills add imgly/agent-skills --list ``` #### Manual Copy Step 1: Clone the repo ```bash git clone https://github.com/imgly/agent-skills.git ``` Step 2: Copy a specific skill into your project ```bash cp -r agent-skills/plugins/cesdk/skills/docs-react .claude/skills/cesdk-docs-react ``` Step 3: Or copy the builder agent ```bash cp agent-skills/plugins/cesdk/agents/builder.md .claude/agents/cesdk-builder.md ``` [Learn more about Agent Skills](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/get-started/agent-skills-f7g8h9.md?ref=img.ly) ## More Than Features IMG.LY is designed for teams that see creative functionality as a meaningful part of their product experience. > "Our role is not to replace your product with a generic editor.
