Polotno SDK embeds a customizable editor in your product; Abyssale provides a hosted platform for generating banner sets and visuals from templates. Use the editor when you need in‑product creation and schema‑driven automation. Use the hosted platform when you want server‑side generation from feeds and forms.
ㅤ
Core philosophy
Polotno SDK focuses on control and a single JSON schema for editing and automation, with rendering that can be local, self‑hosted, or via the Polotno Cloud Render API. Plans are on Request API key.
Abyssale focuses on template‑driven banner automation through a managed service and no‑code flows.
ㅤ
Architecture and integration
Polotno SDK integrates as a browser editor with customizable UI, roles, and asset sources. Rendering paths are interchangeable under one schema: browser, self‑hosted, or cloud. Elements are explicitly modeled, including image, text, and video.
Abyssale integrates via API and no‑code tools; templates and rendering run on the vendor platform.
ㅤ
Automation and templating
Polotno SDK represents projects in JSON for code‑driven generation and variable mapping, plus reusable templates, then rendering locally, self‑hosted, or in the cloud.
Abyssale automates banner sets by applying parameters to hosted templates and exporting images.
ㅤ
Rendering and export
Polotno SDK supports PNG, JPEG, PDF, PPTX, GIF, and MP4 across in‑browser, self‑hosted, and Cloud Render; see import and export.
Abyssale renders on a managed backend with plan‑based limits; video is limited compared to image banners.
