Enable drag-and-drop canvas editing to your product

Integrate a responsive canvas with zoom, layers, and grid controls using Polotno SDK — self-hosted, schema-based, and made for design automation.

Polotno SDK lets you embed a complete drag-and-drop canvas editor inside your app. Users can move, resize, and layer any element — text, image, video, or shape — with precision and fluid control. The canvas is fully interactive, supporting zoom, pan, rulers, and grid snapping for exact positioning. Everything runs client-side or on your infrastructure, so you keep control over UX and data. The canvas follows Polotno’s schema architecture, meaning every layout, element, and transformation can be stored, edited, or automated programmatically.

Key features

Drag-and-drop editing

Move and resize elements freely on the canvas with pixel-level precision. The interaction engine ensures smooth manipulation even with complex multi-layer designs.

Zoom and pan

Navigate large designs easily with zoom and pan controls. The canvas maintains crisp rendering and stable performance regardless of zoom level or element density.

Layers panel

Organize, reorder, lock, or hide elements using a full layers panel. It provides a structured view of every canvas object — text, image, video, or shape — for easy editing and automation.

Snap to grid

Align elements automatically with grid snapping or guides. This ensures consistent spacing and layout accuracy for templates, print, or marketing assets.

Multi-page support

Create, duplicate, and manage multiple pages or frames within one project. Ideal for presentations, print layouts, and multi-format creative workflows.

Bleed and trim

Define bleed and trim regions for print-ready exports. These visual boundaries help designers maintain production accuracy without leaving the editor.

Rulers and measurements

Display rulers and position indicators to maintain alignment and spacing. Useful for precise template design or enterprise production standards.

Undo and redo history

Track every change with a complete undo/redo stack. Developers can integrate this state history into custom workflows or autosave logic.

Automation and schema control

Every canvas action — position, scale, rotation, layer order — is reflected in the schema. This allows programmatic creation, modification, or synchronization with external data sources, making the canvas a foundation for creative automation.
