Before this, asset creation was slow and inconsistent." -- Martin Röhr, Product Owner, Digitas > "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 > "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 > "Integrating IMG.LY’s editor meant we didn’t have to build or maintain a complex editing layer ourselves.

The brokerage's layout is already in place when an agent opens a flyer, postcard, open house sign, or social post, so they only add photos and details. [Learn more](https://img.ly/demos.md?tags=templating) #### Stay on brand without checking the style guide. Every design picks up the brokerage's colors, fonts, and logos, while agents fill in their own photo, name, and contact details. [Learn more](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/rules/enforce-brand-guidelines-23a1e3.md) #### Take and fix listing photos without leaving the design. At the property, the phone camera opens right inside the editor, and controls for cropping, straightening, exposure, and sharpness handle the cleanup. [Learn more](https://img.ly/demos/photo-editor-ui.md) #### Draft listing copy and narration with AI. Descriptions, headlines, captions, and graphics come back as editable layers, and a written script becomes a voiceover for the listing video. [Learn more](https://img.ly/use-cases/ai-editor.md) #### Resize one design for every channel. With presets for social posts, stories, flyers, and yard signs, agents do not have to set dimensions by hand. [Learn more](https://img.ly/demos/automated-resizing.md) #### Send buyers from print to the listing online. Agents create a QR code inside the editor and style it in the brokerage's colors, so it looks like part of the flyer, postcard, or yard sign. [Learn more](https://img.ly/demos/qr-code-plugin.md) ### For your platform #### Creator and Adopter roles for brokerage control. Brokerage teams build the templates and decide what stays locked, and agents see only the tools and fields they are allowed to change. [Learn more](https://img.ly/demos/placeholders.md) #### Listing details fill every template. Map price, address, bedrooms, and the agent's name to template fields once, and nobody retypes them for the next listing. [Learn more](https://img.ly/demos/batch-image-generation.md) #### Your listing photos and logos as a built-in library. Your own storage feeds the editor's library, so new headshots, logos, and property photos reach every agent as listings change. [Learn more](https://img.ly/capabilities.md?solution=Design+Editor&category=Assets) #### Generate listing flyers and posts on your servers. A new listing's details go from your platform to the engine, and the full set of designs comes back in one batch, with no editor session involved. [Learn more](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/concepts/headless-mode/browser-24ab98.md) #### Files ready for print and social. Exports cover print-ready PDF with CMYK and spot colors, PNG or JPEG for social posts, and MP4 for listing videos. [Learn more](https://img.ly/demos/export-options.md) #### Reuse the flyers your brokerages already have. InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator files open as editable templates on the web and on your servers, with layouts and layers intact. [Learn more](https://img.ly/demos/indesign-template-import.md) #### Multi-page brochures and open house booklets. Pages can be added, reordered, or removed at any point, and one document can mix sizes, such as a booklet and its matching social post.

Templates give them a finished layout to start from, with photos and listing details as the only things to change. [Templating demos](https://img.ly/demos.md?tags=templating) ### Every piece has to carry the brokerage State advertising rules require the brokerage name in agent advertising, and some states also require each agent's license number. Locked regions keep those details in place, and text variables fill them from your data. [Brand-safe editing demos](https://img.ly/demos/placeholders.md) ### The same listing facts belong in every format Price, address, bedrooms, and square footage appear on the flyer, the postcard, and the social post. Text variables pull those details from your listing data, so no one retypes them and every piece stays current. [Batch image generation](https://img.ly/demos/batch-image-generation.md) ### Creation should stay inside the platform Sending agents to outside design tools breaks the workflow, weakens brand control, and leaves finished materials outside your product. Brokerages also use marketing support to recruit and keep agents, so it has to sit where agents already work. [CreativeEditor SDK](https://img.ly/products/creative-sdk.md) ### One listing needs every channel Social media is the top lead source for agents, while flyers, postcards, and signs still go to print and many listings get a video. One editor exports print-ready PDF with CMYK and spot colors, every social format, and MP4. [Print-ready PDF demo](https://img.ly/demos/export-print-ready-pdf.md) Real estate platforms create more value when agents can promote every property, on-brand and with the right details, without leaving the platform. ## One creative engine across your real estate platform The same engine renders flyers, postcards, signs, social posts, and video consistently across web, tablet, and mobile, with that surface exposed programmatically. Generate the full set for a new listing on your servers, or open it in the editor for the listing agent to adjust. Same scene, same fidelity, no export-and-reimport in between. **Available for:** - **Web:** [JavaScript](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/get-started/overview-e18f40.md), [React](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/react/get-started/overview-e18f40.md), [Angular](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/angular/get-started/overview-e18f40.md), [Vue.js](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/vue/get-started/overview-e18f40.md), [Svelte](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/svelte/get-started/overview-e18f40.md), [Next.js](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/nextjs/get-started/overview-e18f40.md) - **Mobile:** [iOS](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/ios/get-started/overview-e18f40.md), [Android](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/android/get-started/overview-e18f40.md), [React Native](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/react-native/get-started/overview-e18f40.md), [Flutter](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/flutter/get-started/overview-e18f40.md) - **Desktop:** [Mac Catalyst](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/mac-catalyst/get-started/overview-e18f40.md), [macOS](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/macos/get-started/overview-e18f40.md), [Electron](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/electron/get-started/overview-e18f40.md) - **Server:** [Renderer](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/renderer/cesdk-renderer-overview-7f3e9a.md), [Node.js](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/node-native/get-started/overview-e18f40.md) ### I: Template-driven listing materials Structured starting points for flyers, postcards, signs, and social posts. ### II: Brokerage control, agent personalization Agents edit only the fields you allow, photos, listing details, and their own contact information. ### III: Cross-platform consistency Same creation experience on web, tablet, and mobile, no rebuild per surface. ## From first integration to working listing workflows, fast Most teams start with a focused proof of concept, validate the editing flow with agents, and then expand into brokerage templates, listing data, automation, and production rollout. With CE.SDK Agent Skills, your AI coding assistant can set up that first integration for you. 1. **Start with a working editor** (1 day): Pick a starter kit for React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, or mobile, or let your AI coding assistant scaffold the editor with CE.SDK Agent Skills, and get it running in your platform. 2. **Configure the editor for agents** (1 to 3 days): Apply your brand theme, scope the toolbar to what agents need, and set which elements brokerage templates lock in place. 3. **Connect templates and listing data** (1 to 3 days): Build flyer, postcard, sign, and social templates, bind text variables to your listing fields, and set up server-side generation for new listings. 4. **Test and roll out** (1 to 2 weeks): Pilot with one brokerage or office, test across the platforms your agents use, then go live. Our solutions team is available throughout integration.

[Explore demos](https://img.ly/demos.md) ## Real Estate FAQs ### Real Estate **Q: Can agents use the editor without design training?** A: Yes. Agents start from locked templates with placeholders for photos and listing details, so they change what the brokerage allows and nothing else. The toolbar is configurable, so you can show agents only the tools they need. **Q: Can templates pull in listing details from our platform?** A: Yes. Templates use text variables for fields such as price, address, bedrooms, and the agent's name, and your platform passes in the values from its own listing data. On your servers, the same engine can generate a full set of flyers, postcards, and social posts for a new listing without anyone opening the editor. **Q: How do brokerages keep every agent on brand?** A: Brokerages define brand kits and lockable templates once, and every agent works inside them. Template authors use the Creator role to design and set locks, while agents use the Adopter role, which limits them to the changes the template allows, such as their own photo and contact details. **Q: Can templates keep required brokerage details on every piece?** A: Yes. Template authors place the brokerage name, license numbers, and disclosures in locked elements that agents cannot move or delete, and text variables fill each agent's license number from your platform's data. Your brokerage customers decide which details their state requires, and the templates keep those details on every piece. **Q: Can brokerages bring in the flyer designs they already have?** A: Yes. The editor imports InDesign (IDML), Photoshop (PSD), and Illustrator (AI) files on the web and on the server, with layouts and layers intact, so brokerage designers turn existing flyers into templates instead of rebuilding them. **Q: Can agents create marketing on their phones?** A: Yes. The iOS and Android editors use the same templates and brand kits as the web editor. Agents can take photos or record video with the device camera, drop them straight into a design, and record a voiceover for a listing video. **Q: Which formats can agents export?** A: Print-ready PDF with CMYK and spot colors, PDF/X through the plugin on web and server, plus PNG and JPEG for social posts. Listing videos export as MP4 on web, iOS, and Android, and in the web editor agents see bleed and margins while they design print pieces. **Q: Do you offer integration support?** A: Yes. Beyond the complete CE.SDK documentation, IMG.LY's solutions team offers different levels of support based on your license type.
