What’s New

The new Photobook Starter Kit is a complete, print-ready photobook editor for the web. Users pick a book format and template, add photos, swap page layouts, preview the spreads, and export. It covers the parts that usually take longest to build: layouts per page format, auto-fill that places each photo where it needs the least cropping, live design validation, page-spread preview, and PDF/X-4 export with a FOGRA39 output intent.

For your product, this means: you start from a working photobook editor instead of assembling one.

PDF exports now carry the information a print shop needs to cut pages correctly. Pages with a rectangular bleed get a TrimBox and a BleedBox automatically, with no new option to set. You can also add crop marks and registration marks, and set their offset, length, and weight, plus bleed per side, in the web editor’s new Print Setup panel.

For your product, this means: files that pass print-shop checks out of the box, without a separate prepress step.

CMYK colors now look on screen the way they print. Plain and rich black look different, like on paper. Tinted CMYK colors scale the ink values instead of fading toward white, and spot colors render correctly in gradients and drop shadows. Set your own profile with setCMYKProfile, along with rendering intent and black point compensation. Scenes saved before v1.83 keep their previous look until you set scene/colorConversionMode to Managed.

For your product, this means: users trust what they see before they order, and fewer print jobs come back wrong.

A new exclusion area block marks a region of the page that content has to stay out of, like a book spine, an envelope window, or a die cut. Turn on exclusionArea/constrains and the engine holds any design block out of that region while users drag or resize it. Pages can also carry a safety margin on each side, and the guide appears as soon as a user moves something close to the edge.

For your product, this means: users cannot place content where production would clip it, so fewer designs fail at the print stage.

The web editor now has a layer and page list, opened from a new button at the bottom of the dock. Select, reorder, rename, hide, or lock any design element. Dragging a row reorders it, moves it into a group, or sends it to another page. You can add thumbnails, switch off any row control, and add your own commands to the row menu. Four new shortcuts cover stacking order: Cmd/Ctrl + ] and Cmd/Ctrl + [ move a selection one step, and ] and [ send it all the way.

For your product, this means: users keep their bearings in busy, multi-page designs instead of hunting on the canvas.

Drag an asset from the library onto an image to replace it, or drop it anywhere on the canvas. On touch screens, a press and hold starts the drag. To swap two photos, users press and hold an image, or hold Alt, and drag it onto another one. The Design, Photo, Video, Advanced, and Advanced Video editors ship with both on. On the bare engine, swapping is behind the dragToSwapFills/enabled setting.

For your product, this means: placing and swapping photos takes one gesture, which is the fastest path through any template-filling flow.

A dragged element now snaps to equal spacing with its neighbors, and a badge shows the size of each gap as you move. Turn it on with the features/equalDistanceSnappingEnabled setting.

For your product, this means: users lay out evenly spaced designs without nudging pixel by pixel.

Text now supports justified alignment on all platforms. Also, text backgrounds now work per text run: instead of one background behind an entire text block, you can set one behind any range of characters. A word or phrase mid-sentence can carry its own highlight. Adjust padding and corner radius.

For your product, this means: users highlight exactly the words they want without splitting text into separate blocks or faking it with shapes.

The native video timeline is now customizable without rebuilding it. Reorder, relabel, or replace the built-in Add Clip and Add Audio sources, or plug in your own photo picker or audio library. Place your own buttons in the header, set the height in track rows, and decide whether the timeline opens expanded or collapsed, switch it from your own code, and react when users toggle it.

For your product, this means: the mobile timeline matches your app’s flows and branding instead of dictating them.

Android now supports a full captions workflow in the video editor. Add captions manually, generate them automatically, or import caption files. Style them with presets and edit them right inside the editor, and adding your own presets is easy, too.

For your product, this means: users can build complete captioning experiences on Android without stitching together separate flows.

Clip-to-clip transitions are now available in the iOS editor. Tap the transition icon between two clips to preview and apply effects without leaving the editing flow, on a single clip pair or across all your clips. Professional transition presets ship with the update.

For your product, this means: users can create smoother, more polished videos on iOS with less manual work.

The web video timeline is now much easier to adapt to your product. Re-order, add, or remove the timeline controls through the Order APIs, set a fixed or auto height, and show or hide parts like the clip context menu and the timeline seam.

For your product, this means: you can tailor the timeline to match your editing workflow and brand. This is a breaking change in v1.82; the migration guide covers restoring the previous behavior.

Two new UI components make web editor panels easier to create and customize. Tabs switch between sets of controls, like in, out, and loop animations. Stepper inputs add up and down buttons to numeric settings, like a plus and minus on font size.

For your product, this means: you can build cleaner, more precise custom panels in the web editor.

CE.SDK now runs natively in Node.js, with native C++ performance, headless automation, and GPU-accelerated video export to MP4. That covers bulk rendering pipelines, automated video creation, and server-side template rendering for print, social, or commerce.

For your product, this means: faster, more capable backend workflows, with the engine running as native code rather than WASM.

Generate captions automatically, add them manually, or import a caption file. Then style them with presets and controls for font, formatting, color, stroke, and rounded backgrounds. Customize the presets to match your users’ needs.

For your product, this means: users can caption videos directly in your app, with styling that matches your brand.

Built-in video transitions are now available directly in the Android editor timeline. Tap the transition icon between two clips to preview and apply effects without leaving the editing flow, on a single clip pair or across all your clips.

For your product, this means: users can create smooth, polished videos on Android with less manual work.

Video transitions are now easier to find on the web. The inspector includes transition controls, bringing that workflow into your users’ attention.

For your product, this means: faster video editing and professional-level effects, more discoverable inside your app.

Android guides have been reviewed and reorganized across core workflows, including creating compositions and templates, importing media, editing with filters, stickers, and shapes, applying rules, inserting media, and exporting projects. Updated navigation and guide links make it easier to move between related topics and find the guidance needed for each step of an integration.

Want to Move Even Faster?

Quick reminder: Mobile Starter Kits give you a complete, working editor project for Android that you can make your own. Start with a proven setup for your use case, then inspect and adapt every configuration, callback, and UI choice directly in your codebase.

The web video editor now supports clip-to-clip transitions. Add one between two clips on the timeline, pick a type from the library — cross fade, cross blur, wipe, push, slide, and more — and tune it with a live preview. Apply or remove transitions across a whole track at once, and the audio of video clips cross-fades automatically.

For your product, this means: users can produce polished, professional video edits without an extra audio-editing step or an external tool.

The web editor gains a Path control for text blocks. Users can place text on a curve using Circle, Arch, and Wave presets, then adjust position, direction, and offset directly in the inspector. For custom shapes, Edit Path lets users draw their own baseline instead of picking a preset, so text can follow whatever curve a design calls for.

For your product, this means: users can create expressive, layout-driven typography directly in the editor instead of switching to external design tools.

Photo Camera is now part of CE.SDK on iOS and Android. Users capture photos and videos, then move straight into editing — all inside your app. Useful for listing flows, content creation, document capture, or any mobile workflow where capture and editing need to feel like one thing.

For your product, this means: one less integration to manage, and a creation flow that stays inside your product from shot to finished edit.

Text and paragraph style presets are now available on iOS and Android — apply and reuse consistent text styles without restyling everything from scratch. Inline text run editing is also new: select part of a text block and style just that portion, without affecting the rest.

For your product, this means: mobile users get the same expressive text editing capabilities previously only available on web.

Print-ready PDF export now supports PDF/X-4, preserving live transparency and vector text for more faithful, standards-compliant print workflows.

For your product, this means: customers working on print-ready assets can export directly to a broadly accepted standard without manual post-processing.

CE.SDK makes it easier to extend your mobile app with add-on features on iOS and Android. Add background removal, integrate AI image generation, build custom Android plugins, or package mobile features as reusable plugin modules.

For your product, this means: more tailored mobile editing experiences with less integration overhead.

The web editor now comes with typeface browsing. Users can search, filter, and navigate typefaces more easily, making large font libraries feel more structured and easier to manage.

For your product, this means: a more polished typography experience without needing to build your own font discovery UI.

We improved performance for large, image-heavy scenes such as photobooks and other complex multipage projects, reducing bottlenecks and keeping editing workflows more responsive as scene complexity grows.

For your product, this means: users can smoothly work on and scroll through larger projects without hitting slowdowns.

CE.SDK v1.77 extends text positioning and layout capabilities through engine APIs, making advanced text placement, alignment, and layout behavior easier to control programmatically.

For your product, this means: more precise typography handling in integrations that need it, including multilingual and design-heavy workflows.

Importer packages now preserve more structure and styling from real-world design files. PDF keeps inline-styled text as single editable blocks. PSD supports Photoshop stroke layer styles. PPTX imports text decorations and nested lists. IDML imports embedded PDF and AI graphics as editable blocks instead of placeholders.

For your product, this means: imported content stays more editable, more faithful to the source, and requires less cleanup after import.

Background removal is now available on iOS and Android. The same plugin your web editor uses, now on mobile.

For your product, this means: users can remove image backgrounds without leaving your app, on any platform you ship on.

CE.SDK now supports text on curves, with the APIs and layout behavior needed to place and render text along circular and curved paths. This opens up more expressive typography for logos, badges, invitations, and layout-driven designs.

For your product, this means: users can create more flexible text layouts directly in the editor instead of switching to external design tools.

CE.SDK now ships with 30 keyboard shortcuts in the web editor for selection, editing, text formatting, zoom, undo, and playback. Register custom shortcuts through the cesdk.shortcuts.set API with single keys, modifier combinations, or multi-step sequences — each scoped to a specific part of the UI so it only fires when it should.

For your product, this means: users can move faster without leaving the canvas, with shortcuts that match the tools they already know.

The mobile video timeline now supports multiple clips per foreground track. Long-press any clip to drag it within a track, across tracks, or into a gap to create a new track. Split, trim, and move are all gap-aware and respect locked clips.

For your product, this means: users can manage their video edit the way they’d expect — organizing clips in a single track instead of working around single-clip limitations.

A new plugin and demo lets you import PDF documents directly into CE.SDK and turn them into fully editable designs.

With that, users can bring existing PDF assets into your editor without rebuilding them from scratch, opening up workflows around template reuse, document personalization, and print editing.

The Background Removal plugin is now available for Android. Users can remove backgrounds from images directly in the editor, without leaving the app or sending images to an external server.

For your product, this means: Android users get the same background removal capability that was already available on web, closing a gap for teams building cross-platform photo editing experiences. Users stay in your app for design tasks.

Define how far elements can be dragged beyond a page or parent boundary. This is now fairly simple with new movement constraint APIs.

Allow partial overflow where it makes sense while keeping content inside the intended editable area everywhere else.

This means more precise control over template behavior. Useful for any use case where content boundaries need to be enforced.

CE.SDK now supports APNG import. Animated PNG files load and behave in line with GIF import, giving you a second animated format to work with in your editor.

The engine can now extract the most prominent colors from an image already placed on the canvas. The data is available programmatically, ready to feed into palette suggestions.

Clicks now pass through transparent image areas to the element underneath. Selecting stacked elements just got easier.

Instead of selecting the top image, the click passes through to the element below. Now, users can reach and select elements from overlapping images without trouble.

Snapping guides have been refined to better show what is being aligned, using bounded guide segments, clearer visual distinctions, and new anchor-to-anchor feedback, making object placement and path editing more predictable and easier to understand.

The color input system in the web editor has been rebuilt. The user-facing result: gradient editing now works the way you’d expect it to.

Create and edit linear, radial, and conical gradients Add and remove gradient colors, and switch between gradient types without losing the colors. Color picking now works consistently across all contexts: fill, stroke, shadow, and text.

Build and refine complex gradients entirely within your editor, without relying on external tools.

Every web demo is now a Starter Kit. That means 46 fully-fledged, clonable app templates. Starter Kits are production-ready configurations complete with the toolbars, behaviors, and workflows a real product needs.

Clone it, run it, build from there.

Whether you need the core Design, Photo, and Video Editors (and their powerhouse Advanced variants), specialized industry kits for Apparel, or AI-optimized workflows for generative assets, there is now a clonable app for every use case.

Professional print workflows have a high bar for color fidelity. v1.74 raises CE.SDK’s output to meet it.

• Spot colors are written as device CMYK in the exported file, matching what professional print pipelines expect.
• Overprint on text is preserved correctly.
• You can now opt out of ICC profile embedding in the print-ready PDF plugin when your workflow doesn’t need it.

Take exported PDFs directly into production with less manual intervention, making CE.SDK a stronger fit for workflows where color fidelity is a real purchasing factor.

CE.SDK v1.73 adds SVG export.

Text is exported as vector paths for consistent rendering across environments regardless of font availability. Drop shadows, blur, effects, and embedded raster images are rasterized and included as embedded images within the SVG output.

The old model was simple: drop in a solution component (PhotoEditor, VideoEditor, DesignEditor), pass a license key, ship. For most teams, that was exactly the right starting point.

As products matured, teams needed more. Deeper customization. Granular control over behaviors. An editor that felt like theirs.

That’s what Starter Kits for Mobile addresses.

The prebuilt solution components are replaced by a single Editor entry point and a set of Starter Kits: complete, working editor projects for each use case that live in your codebase, not ours. Set it up in minutes.

For your product, this means: you can adapt the editor to fit your product, not the other way around.

Updates for text editing land simultaneously across platforms:

Use Bullet and Numbered Lists to structure text with ordered and unordered lists. Underline and strike text, including custom underline colors.

Web users can now work across design and video in a single scene. Everything you can do in design mode, you can do in video mode too.

For your product, this means a simpler, more coherent editing experience for users who work across both formats.

Note: The feature toggle shown in the video is coming to our demos soon. It is not part of the default CE.SDK setup.

CE.SDK now lets users edit any shape at the path level.

Select a shape and enter Edit Path mode. Manipulate individual anchor points and curves. Move nodes, bend segments, add or remove points. Lastly, apply fills, gradients, and colors.

Build custom icons, illustrations and detailed layouts directly in the web editor, without leaving your app.

The AI image generation plugin now ships on iOS and Android.

This is the first mobile AI plugin for CE.SDK. Users can generate images directly inside the mobile editor through custom plugin panels, without leaving the creative workflow.

For your product, this means: you can now deliver AI-powered creative features on mobile with the same plugin architecture already available on web. One capability, every platform.

Tell your story by giving your videos a voice. iOS and Android users can now record their voice directly over video clips.

Layer multiple voiceover tracks on the timeline. Perfect to record engaging videos, like creators work in TikTok and Reels.

Add dynamic motion to your text and design elements with CE.SDK for iOS. Our Animations for design blocks (images, shapes, stickers) come with a comprehensive library. This release also ships with a sleek UI.

Comprehensive Animation Library Access a full suite of in, out, and loop animations—mirroring the capabilities of our animation for Web and Android.

Tailored Motion Controls Fine-tune animations like duration, easing, direction, and more.

In your web editor, every page in a scene can now have its own dimensions. If enabled, the resize panel automatically adapts to your selection. Resize one page or all pages at once.

For your product, this means: users can design across multiple formats in a single session. Social post, banner, side by side.

Our engine now supports variable fonts! A single font file can represent multiple weight and style variants, eliminating the need to load separate files for each.

For your app this means: leaner asset loading, more typographic flexibility, and better brand consistency for users working with modern type systems.

The color panel for web is now unified: preview, saved colors, and custom editing controls all live in one place. Users can pick, adjust, and reuse colors in a single continuous workflow, without a separate modal or extra clicks.

CMYK Color Mode for Web Additionally, the web editor supports restricting the color picker to a specific color mode: RGB, CMYK. When CMYK is enforced, elements using a different color mode show a clear convert option rather than broken inputs. New pages, asset library blocks, and fill type switches automatically convert colors to match the configured mode.

On Android, Images, stickers, and shapes now display one thumbnail per clip, instead of repeating across the track. The timeline is cleaner and easier to read, keeping complex video compositions tidy on mobile screens.

Audio clips now display actual waveform visualization, replacing the previous placeholder. Users can see exactly where audio peaks and drops — making precise edits faster and more intuitive.

Users can now adjust the playback speed of video and audio clips via a dedicated Speed UI. This has been one of the most-requested mobile features and is now available on both platforms.

Multiple clips can now be combined into a single manageable unit with synchronized timing, trimming, and a unified timeline representation.

This enables complex, multi-layer content production and speeds up the design process.

Install the plugin for Claude Code or Cursor and your AI coding agent becomes a CE.SDK expert with bundled access to guides, API references, and starter kits across 10 web frameworks. No external services, no MCP servers, no context-switching.

What your developers can now do:

• /cesdk:build — Describe a use case in plain language. The agent detects the framework, pulls the right starter kit, and scaffolds a working project autonomously.
• /cesdk:explain — Ask any CE.SDK implementation question and get answers adapted to the specific framework and experience level.
• /cesdk:docs-[framework] — Retrieve guides and API references directly from the IDE, without leaving the editor.

For your product, this means: developers prototype in minutes, not days. Non-technical team members can now build and extend functional editors independently. And onboarding new engineers to CE.SDK shrinks from a multi-day ramp to a single session.

Previously, getting CE.SDK running in a real product meant adapting complex demo projects: stripping features, adjusting architecture, and undoing assumptions baked into example code.

Starter Kits replace all of that with pre-configured, production-ready editor UIs.

Specialized kits for Photo, Video, and Design editors are scoped, clean, and immediately deployable. Each kit starts with a focused feature set. You explicitly opt in to what you need, so your UI stays performant and your users don’t see capabilities they can’t use.

For your product, this means: a functional, shippable editor in minutes rather than days of setup. Clean architecture from day one, without accumulating technical debt.

Some customers don’t start from scratch. They have existing creative assets locked inside PowerPoint and Canva — and until now, bringing those into CE.SDK required manual recreation.

The new PPTX Importer removes that barrier.

Users can import native PowerPoint files or export Canva designs as PPTX and bring them directly into your CE.SDK-powered editor, with layouts, elements, and structure intact.

Non-video tracks now show a single thumbnail per clip, reducing clutter in multi-layer timelines on your iOS app.

The web timeline now automatically adjusts its height based on content. Manual track configuration is gone, and complex projects are easier to pick up for your new users.

Integrate CE.SDK documentation directly into your development environment. By supporting the Model Context Protocol (MCP), we optimize how AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot search and retrieve our latest technical guides and API references in real time.

For your team, this means more accurate, context-aware code suggestions and a significantly faster integration process without leaving your editor.

We have refined our native right-to-left support for languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian with a new “Auto” alignment feature.

The engine now detects script direction on the fly, aligning right for RTL languages like Arabic, and left for LTR languages like English. For your product, this delivers a truly native feel for your users.

We have expanded the “Grow” animation style with new directional controls. Creators can now scale elements from all corners, instead of only the center. This allows for more intentional, fun motion design that aligns with high-end standards.

We’ve expanded our CE.SDK Guides for Web to help developers move quickly from setup to deeper customization and advanced workflows. The guides walk through practical implementation patterns, including AI integrations, automated design-template workflows, and editor UI customization. Each topic is designed to help teams extend CE.SDK in production environments. The CE.SDK documentation guides cover essential developer workflows with working examples and live demos.

Text Designs are prebuilt text elements users can insert into a design, similar to ready-made headlines, callouts, or fun text layouts. CE.SDK Text Designs are now more robust for more complex designs. Each text design is handled as a self-contained component that automatically includes the assets it needs, making templates more reliable and easier to scale.

Archive exports on the web are now more memory-friendly and stable, especially for large, resource-heavy projects. Instead of loading all assets into memory at once, CE.SDK now streams or writes exports incrementally, significantly reducing memory usage during export. For your users, this engine update provides a reliable experience when saving or sharing complex designs.

CE.SDK now fully supports right-to-left (RTL) text input, making it easy to build editors for languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian (Farsi). Text direction switches automatically, characters flow correctly, and cursor movement behaves as users expect when typing and editing. For your users, this means a native text editing experience in their language. For your product, it unlocks multilingual workflows without workarounds.

CE.SDK for Web now supports transparent WebM videos making it easy to layer animations, overlays, and motion elements without a background. This opens up new creative possibilities for effects, lower thirds, UI animations, and branded motion content directly in the editor.

For your web editor, you can control whether an asset library (for example, stock photos) is searchable using the isSearchable field. When no visible library supports search, the search bar is hidden automatically.

When users apply styling without selecting text, CE.SDK for Web now updates the entire text block instead of applying the style only to future characters. This feels more predictable and matches user expectations in formatting-heavy workflows.

Let your users design products like apparel, mugs, phone cases, and more with a real-time, fully interactive product editor made with CE.SDK. The Web Product Editor UI demo shows how CE.SDK handles multiple print areas, live mockups, and print-ready design exports in a streamlined workflow. For your product, this provides a ready-made blueprint for building custom merchandise editors, print-on-demand tools, or any e-commerce customization experience.

Your users can now change video speed right in the web editor. Slow clips down to spotlight important moments, or speed them up to keep content tight and engaging. This removes the need for external editing apps and keeps more creation inside your product.

When selecting any element, the canvas menu appears and contains a “more options” drown-down section. It is now fully customizable using the builder API. You can add, remove, or reorder menu items and include individual actions (flip, copy, paste, etc.). Get more control over the editor UI, and tailor tools and workflows to your users’ needs.

Force Crop is now available for Mobile, as seen for the Web editor: If a user uploads media that does not fit the intended layout, the editor can automatically crop or guide users through cropping, so the final design looks exactly as intended. It is especially valuable for social stories, ads, marketplace listings, and any workflow where the output size must be precise.

Force Crop supports three modes so you can choose how much control you give users:

• silent — Applies the crop automatically without showing the crop UI.
• always — Applies the preset and always opens crop mode, so users can review and adjust.
• ifNeeded — Only opens the crop UI when the media does not match the required ratio.

We are excited to introduce a new platform: CE.SDK Renderer brings production grade exporting to your backend, allowing you to turn CE.SDK templates into finished media with the speed, consistency, and scale required for modern creative automation.

How It Works

Running the CE.SDK engine natively on your server, the Renderer delivers fast and reliable export of images, PDFs, and fully compliant H.264 and H.265 videos. It removes the limitations of browser and Node based exporting and enables automated, personalized, and high volume content workflows. Packaged as a ready-to-run Docker container, CE.SDK Renderer supports GPU acceleration, batch processing, and predictable output fidelity for enterprise production needs.

Perfect For Your Use Case

CE.SDK Renderer is ideal for dynamic ad creation, personalized video variations, template driven print assets such as postcards or brochures, and large scale automated content generation across marketing, e-commerce, and creative automation platforms.

CE.SDK now supports playback and editing video in Safari 26.0 and higher on macOS. Give your users on Mac full access to pristine, browser-based video editing. This update lets your users create, animate, preview, and edit videos directly in Safari with the same CE.SDK features they already know from Chrome and Microsoft Edge. For your product, this means broader reach and platform consistency, enabling you to deliver a pristine editing experience that feels native everywhere.

Our new Audio Export Guide shows how to extract audio directly from scenes or blocks to create auto captions, translations, and automated transcripts. Or process audio externally for creative effects! This makes it easier to extend CE.SDK beyond editing, helping you power smarter, more accessible, and more engaging media tools.

Users can now sample colors from anywhere on their screen and apply them directly in the web editor with the new built-in color picker. Supported in Chrome, Edge, and Opera for Web.

We’re excited to introduce the Print-Ready PDF Plugin for CE.SDK, enabling you to transform your designs into professional-grade PDFs.

Key Features

• PDF/X-3 Compliance for printing industry standards
• RGB → CMYK Conversion for print color output
• ICC Profile Support for your custom profiles, or our shipped profiles
• Client-Side Processing — no backend needed

This plugin provides a straightforward solution for generating print-ready PDFs with your app. By handling the conversion client-side, it simplifies workflows and reduces reliance on external tools.

CE.SDK for Web has a new look: simpler, brighter, and more focused. This visual refresh reduces complexity, improves readability, and helps your users design faster while keeping your product future-proof.

Friendlier and Easier-to-Use Interface:

• The editor now features a flatter UI appearance with size-consistent elements, including buttons and dropdowns, making it feel more intuitive and less “boxed-in.”
• Increased font weight improves legibility.
• More rounded interfaces contribute to a friendlier and more inviting feel, especially for users who are not professional designers.
• A refined color palette provides better contrast.
• Panels now visually step back, so designs take the spotlight.

The result is an interface that feels balanced, easy to use, and blends into brands by default.

The new Export Audio API supports extracting audio from scenes, audio blocks, or video fill blocks. This gives developers full control over audio output for editing, mixing, or automation workflows. For example, you can extract audio for automatic transcription and auto video captions.

Coming Soon: Learn how to generate and translate captions automatically in your editor — our full guide is on the way.

Our CE.SDK engine now supports playback speed control for videos, GIFs, and audio. Developers can programmatically adjust speed using setPlaybackSpeed and getPlaybackSpeed. Within our next releases, your users will be able to fine-tune video speed right inside the editor, using an intuitive user interface for the Web.

CE.SDK now plays a live preview whenever you add or update an animation. Your users can immediately see how their animations behave without pressing “play,” making it faster to fine-tune motion and create polished results. For your app, that means smoother editing workflows, less trial and error, and a more professional user experience out of the box. Try our Animation Demo for Web.

Our Engine now supports .json Lottie files as video fills. Add lightweight, scalable animations to video projects without large asset sizes.

CE.SDK now introduces new Actions and Utils APIs that simplify how you manage editor workflows. With the Actions API, tasks like save, export, load, or upload are managed centrally instead of across multiple places. This reduces repetition and makes it easier to customize how users interact with the editor. The Utils API adds ready-to-use defaults for dialogs, file handling, exporting, and scene management. These save time and cut boilerplate while still letting you override behavior when needed. Explore the Actions API and Utils API.

Our Theming API lets you style the web editor’s user interface, so it matches your brand: toolbars, panels, and other elements. Since CE.SDK v1.60, theming supports the P3 color space and OKLCH color format, giving you modern, more accurate colors for your editor’s UI. This ensures branded themes look vibrant and consistent across today’s wide-gamut displays.

We’ve added official Angular support via @cesdk/cesdk-js/angular, bringing the same plug-and-play experience developers already love in React and Vue.

With Settings API, we’ve consolidated the Settings interface and introduced unified setSetting and getSetting methods, replacing multiple type-specific methods. For developers, this means: Cleaner, more consistent API surface; Easier to learn, easier to maintain; Improved TypeScript support with automatic type inference.

Apple’s new Liquid Glass design system in iOS 26 changes safe-area handling, toolbar sizing, and system banners. CE.SDK v1.60 prepares you for this shift: choose whether to embrace the new look or preserve your current layout.

By default, when you build against the iOS 26 SDK, our editor automatically uses the new system visuals and behaviors for seamless alignment with Apple’s latest design language.

If you continue building with a pre–iOS 26 SDK, nothing changes: your app continues to look and behave as before, and our SDK maintains the previous experience.

If you want to build with the iOS 26 SDK but temporarily keep the classic UI, Apple provides an Info.plist switch: UIDesignRequiresCompatibility to enable UI compatibility mode.

When this is present, your app won’t adopt Liquid Glass, and our SDK will mirror that choice to remain consistent with the rest of your app.

Note: Apple hasn’t published a deprecation date for this compatibility key; plan your migration accordingly.

CE.SDK for Web now adapts to your users’ system settings out of the box. A new system theme option automatically switches between light and dark mode. Because theming works at runtime, you don’t need to reload the editor to apply changes — making it easier to deliver seamless experiences.

CE.SDK now supports MKV (Matroska) files, including H.264, H.265/HEVC, AAC, and MP3 alongside VP8, VP9, AV1, and Opus. More uploads work out of the box, reducing friction for your users.

Get prebuilt editors and smart features out of the box: CE.SDK now ships React and Vue wrappers directly in the @cesdk/cesdk-js package. Just install, import, and skip lengthy setups. This frees your team to ship faster and focus on what makes your app unique in the market. Browse pre-built solutions for React and Vue.

What You Get Out of The Box:

All-in-one integration — With wrappers included, installation is cleaner and simplified. Simply install and import the necessary components.

Prebuilt Editor Solutions — Our wrappers provide ready-to-use editor components. Perfect for rapid prototyping or embedding full-featured editing experiences.

Rich Editing Features — Use built-in support for photo & video editing (crop, filters, adjustments), smart AI tools, template creation, asset libraries. Customize the UI if needed.

CE.SDK for Web and our Engine now support WebM videos. Supported codecs include VP8, VP9, and AV1. This allows you to handle more video formats efficiently, deliver faster-loading videos, and ensure smooth playback across browsers and platforms. Explore all supported formats in our documentation.

We’ve overhauled the iOS & Android default assets in CE.SDK. Let users start creating with inspiring design elements right away.

• Shapes now include gradient and image fills, plus “outline” shapes.
• Stickers have been refreshed to provide a more fun starter set.
• Text comes with curated font combinations for quick, polished typography.

Archiving complex projects with large assets can spike memory usage, causing performance issues or failures in some scenarios. To support more complex or asset-heavy scenes, we’ve improved how archive export works on iOS and Android. This update reduces memory load and helps your app save larger projects more efficiently and reliably.

Configure whether images must be cropped before editing. With Force Crop for Web and our Engine, you set the aspect ratio or format for your users’ project.
