# White-Label Design Editor: A design editor you ship as your own

Style the interface, drop the tools you do not need, and register your own controls among the ones that ship. The editor carries your name from the first frame, and so does every file it exports.

- Your styling across every panel and dialog
- No badge, no watermark, no attribution
- Your own components placed among the built-in ones

## White-labeling a design editor

The navigation bar, dock, inspector, canvas bar, and context menus all answer to your design system.

### Themed to your design system

Your palette, typefaces, spacing, and corner radius apply across every panel and dialog, light theme and dark.

### Assets from your own infrastructure

Serve fonts, images, and templates from your own DAM or CDN. SOC 2 Type II certified, with SSO on enterprise plans.

### Nothing naming us

No badge in the interface, no attribution in the file, and no requirement to credit us anywhere.

## Shipped inside **100+** products

**Trusted by:** Digitas, Omneky, The Print Bar, Brandwatch, Planoly, HP, Shopify, Reuters, Hootsuite, Semrush, Shutterfly, one.com, Sprout Social, Constant Contact, Spread Group

## Restyle, rename, and extend the editor

Navigation bar, dock, inspector, canvas bar, and context menus.

### Every panel, down to the context menus

Show, hide, or restyle any part of the interface, so the layout follows your product rather than ours.

### Your wording, in your languages

Every label, tooltip, and panel title is a string you set, translated into each language your product already ships in.

### Your own controls, placed inline

Register your components and they sit among the built-in panels and buttons, indistinguishable from what shipped.

## White-labeling past the interface

Everything needed to ship the design editor as a part of your own product.

### For your brand

#### Asset sources you point at.

Serve fonts, images, and stock from your own DAM or CDN, so the library reads as part of your product.

#### AI panels, styled like the rest.

Image, graphic, and copy generation sit in panels you themed and labeled, rather than a third-party widget dropped into your product.

#### Inside your own stack.

React, Vue, Angular, or plain JavaScript, running on your domain rather than in a frame pointed at ours.

#### Clean files on the way out.

PDF, PNG, JPEG, and video export without a mark, ready for whatever your users do with them next.

## A branded template editor, shipped

Success story

How <strong>Optimizely</strong> Unlocked Self-Serve Brand Templates for 1,000+
Customers
---------

[Optimizely video](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RGWIm9oKLgM)

**1,000+** customers enabled with templates | **Higher** win rate against template-editor competitors | **Faster** SMB onboarding via self-serve templates

[Optimizely](https://www.optimizely.com/) is a leading platform for A/B testing, experimentation, and personalization, serving over 1,000 customers including Gap, StubHub, IBM, and The Wall Street Journal.

> "One of the biggest things for us was that we wanted to enable our smaller customers to be able to build and use templates, people without expertise." -- Rob Driscoll, Principal Product Manager, Optimizely

#### Challenge

Optimizely's CMP lacked the brand template editor SMB customers expected. Competitors like Bynder shipped one, and Optimizely was losing deals because of the gap.

#### Solution

Embedded CE.SDK into the Content Marketing Platform and mapped customer roles and permissions to SDK placeholders, giving fine-grained control over which template fields each user can edit.

- 1,000+ customers gained self-service brand template editing.
- Closed deals previously lost to template-editor competitors.
- Smaller customers without design expertise can now build and reuse templates.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### General

**Q: Whose brand does the editor carry?**

A: Yours. Panels, wording, and icons are set by you, and nothing in the interface or the exported file names IMG.LY.

**Q: Can I put my own controls inside the editor?**

A: Yes. Register your own components and they sit among the built-in panels and buttons, so the parts you add are indistinguishable from the parts that shipped.

**Q: Which frameworks does it drop into?**

A: React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and plain JavaScript on the web, plus native iOS and Android. It runs inside whatever you already build with.

**Q: Do exported files carry a watermark?**

A: No. PDFs, images, and video come out clean, with no badge or attribution from us anywhere in the file.

**Q: Can I translate the interface?**

A: Yes. Every label, tooltip, and panel title is a string you set, in each language your product already ships in.

**Q: Will my users ever see an IMG.LY URL?**

A: No. The editor is part of your own application rather than a window onto ours, so nobody leaves your site and no address appears that is not yours.

**Q: Is white-labeling on every license?**

A: It comes with a commercial license. Build and evaluate first, then speak to sales about the license that matches how you plan to ship.
