Integrating IMG.LY’s editor meant we didn’t have to build or maintain a complex editing layer ourselves. 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.

From starter kit to enterprise rollout, four steps to ship a creative editor with generative AI inside.
Embed the AI editor into your creative workflow
Drop the IMG.LY editor into your upload, asset, or create screens. AI lives inside the same editor users already know, so they keep the precision of IMG.LY’s image, design, and video tools and gain generative features in one workflow.
Starter Kits
Plug in any model, or use ours
Connect any third-party AI model or API through the plugin architecture. Full flexibility, minimal setup. Pre-integrated services include Anthropic, OpenAI, 11labs, and Fal.ai, and bring-your-own-model is a first-class path.
Explore AI demos
Customize the editor to match your product
Configure tools, panels, icons, colors, and copy through a single configuration. Apply your brand theme, swap icons, translate every label. A headless mode lets you build a fully bespoke interface on top of the engine when you need it.
Explore customization demos
Ship to production at enterprise scale
Roll out to a pilot group, validate performance and UX, then scale to your full audience. Security, scalability, and performance are built in, designed for teams deploying generative editing at production scale.
Why product teams choose the AI Editor
IMG.LY inside
A production-ready AI editing UI built on a battle-tested creative engine.
Skip the year-long build. Drop in a polished AI editor that pairs precise manual editing with generative tools, so your team ships AI features instead of maintaining them.
Bring your own model
Connect any generative model through an open, model-agnostic plugin architecture.
Wire up commercial APIs like Anthropic, fal.ai, ElevenLabs, or OpenAI — or host your own open-source model. Swap providers anytime through custom endpoints with no lock-in.
Enterprise-ready
Client-side editing, white-labeling, and the controls enterprise teams expect.
Editing runs in the browser, generative calls route through endpoints you control, and the editor white-labels fully — backed by SOC 2 Type II, SSO, dedicated support, and SLAs.
Plug in any model — or use ours
The AI Editor stays model-agnostic. Connect your own providers, or skip the integration entirely with the IMG.LY AI Gateway.
Bring your own model
Connect commercial or open-source providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, fal.ai, ElevenLabs — through custom endpoints. You stay in full control of routing, billing, and data residency.
The AI plugins are model-agnostic by design. Wire any provider into the editor through the open plugin architecture and your own backend.
IMG.LY AI Gateway
A fully managed model abstraction layer that works seamlessly with the AI Editor. One API for image, video, text, and voice — on a single invoice, with model churn handled for you.
Pre-wired into CE.SDK so AI features go live without a separate SDK, vendor, or invoice. Swap providers without touching your editor code.
An SDK made by developers for developers
Install CE.SDK with one command, plug it into your existing upload or creation flows, and stay in control with a clean, documented API.

Frequently Asked Questions
The AI Editor is a production-ready UI layer for generative AI image and video editing built on CreativeEditor SDK (CE.SDK). It combines precise manual editing with text-to-image, text-to-video, style transfer, background swap, and text-to-speech — all surfaced inside a real editor your users already understand.
AI editing is available today on the web across JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, and Next.js, plus server-side via Node.js. Native iOS and Android support is coming soon.
Yes. The UI is deeply customizable — show or hide AI tools, reposition and rename controls, apply your brand theme, and translate every label. A headless API is available when you want to build a completely custom interface around the AI capabilities.
Yes. You can start a free trial with full access to all features, including the AI plugins. Contact our team to get started.
The editor itself runs client-side in the browser using WebAssembly and WebGL. Generative tasks call out to third-party model APIs over secure endpoints, and the results are composited back into the editing canvas alongside your manual edits.
The AI Editor imports PNG, JPEG, and SVG and exports PNG, JPEG, TGA, and print-ready PDF. Video projects export MP4 and WebM with configurable quality settings.
Yes. The editor is storage-agnostic and supports custom asset sources, so generated and uploaded assets can flow into any CDN, DAM, or stock provider you already use.
The AI Editor ships text-to-image, image-to-video, style transfer and variants, smart text editing, background swap and object removal, and text-to-speech — all available through the editor UI.
The AI plugins are included with your CE.SDK license. Generative model usage is billed separately by the model providers (for example Anthropic, fal.ai, ElevenLabs, or OpenAI).
The AI plugins are model-agnostic and connect to providers such as Anthropic, fal.ai, ElevenLabs, and OpenAI through custom endpoints. You choose which model powers each capability.
Yes. The open-source plugin architecture lets you connect commercial or open-source models through custom endpoints — host your own model or swap providers with no lock-in.
Pricing is based on monthly active users (MAU) who interact with the editor, with flexible plans for startups through enterprises. Generative model usage is billed separately by the providers. Contact sales for details.
Yes. Commercial licenses allow full white-labeling — remove all IMG.LY branding and present the AI editor as a native part of your product.
