The editor below is live — it runs the Polotno SDK in your browser, the same way it would run inside your own app. It opens on a template, and you can upload a photo, edit on the canvas, and export to PNG, JPEG, PDF, SVG, HTML, or JSON.
How it's built
This is the standard Polotno editor with the side panel scoped to still images. Animations are switched off, so the SDK never adds its video or animation panels, and the panels are the still-image set:
- Photos — search stock images or drop in your own.
- Text, Elements, and Draw — the usual building blocks for a composition.
- Background, Layers, and Resize — set the canvas up and reorder what's on it.
- Effects — filters, adjustments, and cropping appear on the toolbar when you select an image.
The Download button carries the full set of still formats — PNG, JPEG, PDF, SVG, HTML, and JSON — the same list as polotno.com/studio. The Videos and Animations sections, the timeline, and MP4 export are left out by not enabling animations.
Adapting it to your product
- The interface — the side panel, toolbar, and canvas are ordinary React components. Show whichever sections fit your product and hide the rest.
- What's editable — you choose which elements customers can change and which stay fixed to your design.
- The output — a design is a single JSON object, so you can create or update it from code and render it to PNG, JPEG, PDF, or SVG, in the browser or on your server.
- The look — the editor is white-label, so this plain theme can be styled to match your brand.
Where it fits
An image editor like this suits social-post makers, marketing and e-commerce tools, photo-personalisation flows, and any product where customers need to edit or compose still images without leaving your app.
