# Key Capabilities

This guide gives you a high-level look at what CreativeEditor SDK (CE.SDK) can do—and how deeply it can integrate into your workflows. Whether you’re building a design editor into your product, enabling automation, or scaling personalized content creation, CE.SDK provides a flexible and future-ready foundation.

[Launch Web Demo](https://img.ly/showcases/cesdk)

It’s designed for developers, product teams, and technical decision-makers evaluating how CE.SDK fits their use case.

*   100% client-side processing
*   Custom-built rendering engine for consistent cross-platform performance
*   Flexible enough for both low-code and fully custom implementations

## Design Creation and Editing[#](#design-creation-and-editing)

CE.SDK provides comprehensive tools for creating and editing images, videos, and multi-page layouts directly in the browser with full feature parity to desktop applications.

### Core Capabilities[#](#core-capabilities)

*   Create, edit, compose, and customize visual content
*   Dual control: Use the built-in editor UI or programmatic API
*   Rich editing tools: filters, text styling, stickers, layers, and layout controls

### Supported Workflows[#](#supported-workflows)

*   Social media content creation and user-generated content flows
*   Marketing tools for creative teams
*   Branded asset creation (slides, product visuals, templates)
*   Composition tools for multi-page layouts, collages, and background blending

## Programmatic and UI-based[#](#programmatic-and-ui-based)

You get full control over how your users interact with CE.SDK.

*   Use the built-in UI for manual workflows
*   Call the same editing and rendering functionality programmatically
*   Combine both for hybrid use cases (e.g., users edit manually, backend creates variations)

Whether you’re serving designers or developers—or both—CE.SDK adapts to your product’s needs.

## Templates and Reusable Layouts[#](#templates-and-reusable-layouts)

Define reusable templates to simplify design creation. These templates support:

*   Role-based editing (lock/unlock elements based on user type)
*   Smart placeholders (predefined image/text drop zones)
*   Preset styles for consistent branding
*   Programmatic or user-driven updates

Templates make it easy to scale consistent design output while keeping editing intuitive.

## Automation and Dynamic Content[#](#automation-and-dynamic-content)

You can generate visuals automatically by combining templates with structured data.

Common use cases include personalized ads, localizations, product catalogs, or A/B testing. The SDK works in headless mode and supports batch workflows, making it easy to automate at scale.

## Multi-modal[#](#multi-modal)

CE.SDK supports a wide range of content types and formats:

*   Input types: images, video, audio, structured data, templates
*   Output formats: PNG, JPEG, WebP, MP4, PDF, raw data

All operations—including export—run client-side, ensuring fast performance and data privacy.

## AI Integration[#](#ai-integration)

Instantly bring best-in-class AI-powered image and video editing to your application with just a few lines of code. All tools run directly inside the existing editor interface—so users stay in the flow while benefiting from powerful automation.

Examples of what you can enable:

*   **Text to Image** – Use prompts to generate original visual content directly in the editor
*   **Text to Graphics** – Create crisp, scalable illustrations from simple text input
*   **Style Transfer** – Change the mood or style of an image while preserving its structure
*   **Create Variants** – Generate endless visual variations of a single subject for campaigns or personalization
*   **Image to Video** – Transform static images into dynamic motion content with a click
*   **Text to Speech** – Turn written copy into natural-sounding voiceovers, with control over tone and speed
*   **Smart Text Editing** – Rewrite or refine text using intelligent editing suggestions
*   **Swap Background** – Remove or replace backgrounds in seconds
*   **Add / Remove Objects** – Modify images with generative precision—no external tools required

These capabilities can be integrated connecting to any third-party AI model or API with minimal setup.

## Customizable UI[#](#customizable-ui)

The built-in interface is designed to be fully customizable:

*   Rearrange or rename tools
*   Apply theming and branding
*   Show/hide features based on user role
*   Add translations for international users

It works across desktop and mobile, and can be extended or replaced entirely if needed.

## Extensibility[#](#extensibility)

Need to add a custom feature or integrate with your backend? CE.SDK supports extensibility at multiple levels:

*   Custom UI components (or build a completely custom UI)
*   Backend data integrations (e.g., asset management systems)
*   Custom logic or validation rules
*   Advanced export workflows

The SDK’s plugin architecture ensures you can scale your functionality without rebuilding the core editor.

## Content Libraries[#](#content-libraries)

CE.SDK ships with a robust system for managing reusable content:

*   Built-in libraries of stickers, icons, overlays, and fonts
*   Integration with third-party providers like Getty Images, Unsplash, or Airtable
*   Programmatic filtering and categorization
*   Access assets from both code and UI
*   Organize by brand, user, or use case

This makes it easy to deliver a seamless editing experience—no matter how many assets you manage.
