# AI Editor: Turn a few words into the sticker a design is missing

Your users ask for the sticker they have in mind, and AI draws it. It lands in the design like any other sticker, ready to move, scale, and layer.

- Icon styles from Outline to Doodle Fill
- Square, portrait, and landscape sizes
- A history of every sticker generated

**Available for:**

- **Web:** [JavaScript](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/user-interface/ai-integration/integrate-8e906c.md), [React](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/react/user-interface/ai-integration/integrate-8e906c.md), [Angular](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/angular/user-interface/ai-integration/integrate-8e906c.md), [Vue.js](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/vue/user-interface/ai-integration/integrate-8e906c.md), [Svelte](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/svelte/user-interface/ai-integration/integrate-8e906c.md), [Next.js](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/nextjs/user-interface/ai-integration/integrate-8e906c.md)

## The sticker no library has

Sticker libraries rarely have the oddly specific one, like an avocado in sunglasses. With AI sticker generation, your users describe it and it appears in the design.

### Describe the sticker

A few words are enough, like "a rocket with a speed trail". Then your users pick an icon style and a size.

### Watch it arrive

A pending sticker shows up in the design as soon as the request goes out. When it's ready, the finished sticker takes its place.

### Find it again later

Every sticker your users generate stays in the panel's history, ready to add again.

## One icon style for a whole sticker set

## Set up AI sticker generation: model and panel

### Step 01: Install the sticker plugin

AI sticker generation is its own plugin for CE.SDK on the web, built for design scenes. Recraft, reached through fal.ai, is the model that ships with it.

### Step 02: Keep the API key on your server

Requests to fal.ai pass through your own server, which holds the API key. Another model, self-hosted or from a different service, connects as a provider of its own.

### Step 03: Rename or translate the panel

With one model connected, hide the model picker, and reword or translate every label and icon style name.

## What teams make with AI stickers

### Sticker sheets for print

A customer fills a sheet with characters of their own and orders it as die-cut stickers.

### Party invitations

A parent adds the birthday child's favorite animal, wearing a party hat, to the invitation.

### Menu icons

A café gets matching icons for its vegan, spicy, and gluten-free dishes.

### Social posts

## Frequently Asked Questions

### General

**Q: What is AI sticker generation?**

A: AI sticker generation creates a single standalone graphic, such as an icon or a character, from a short written prompt. In CE.SDK, the result is a regular sticker in the design.

**Q: Which model draws the stickers?**

A: Recraft is the ready-made option. Teams can swap in any other image model by writing a provider for it.

**Q: Which platforms support AI sticker generation?**

A: The web version of CE.SDK, in design scenes. Video scenes and the mobile SDKs don't include it.
