Create and manage digital signage designs with Polotno SDK

Polotno SDK brings a complete design layer to digital signage platforms. It enables users to create, update, and export signage visuals — from image-based layouts to motion graphics — all within your own system. Designs are stored as structured schemas, so you can modify or regenerate signage content automatically through API or data inputs, while keeping every display fully on-brand.

Key features

Embedded signage editor

Embed Polotno directly into your signage platform or CMS. Users can design layouts using text, images, and video layers without switching to external software.

Multi-format support

Handle static and video compositions with the same schema. Perfect for display networks that mix digital posters, LED walls, or animated screens.

Template-driven creation

Offer predefined templates that match different screen sizes or locations. Users can update text or media while brand elements remain locked.

Brand consistency

Control logos, fonts, and colors across all signage layouts. Franchises or retail chains can let locations customize content while maintaining unified branding.

Automation and data input

Update signage visuals automatically using structured data or API calls. You can generate new designs or refresh existing ones based on product catalogs, pricing data, or campaign updates.

Rendering and export

Render signage layouts as static images or MP4 videos. Use Polotno Cloud Render API for large-scale content generation or self-host rendering for private infrastructure.
