Polotno
Embeddable Canva-style image and video editing SDK for web apps — 300+ businesses ship on it.
About
Polotno is a developer-friendly JavaScript/TypeScript SDK that embeds a full Canva-style image and video editor inside your own product — multi-layer canvas, rich text, image tools, templates, and export — so SaaS teams don't build design tooling from scratch. It ships as modular React/Vue/Angular/Next.js components plus a programmatic API for template automation, bulk operations, and AI-driven design generation, with self-hosted rendering inside your own infrastructure.
The company reports 300+ active businesses (including Amazon, BMW, and Expedia per its site) and 100,000+ monthly active users on Polotno Studio, its free showcase app. It is built on Konva.js by the same author (~1M+ npm downloads/week). Licensing is quote-based (from low hundreds to $20–30k+ for enterprise rollouts) with a 30-day free trial; production requires a paid license. Polotno also publishes an official agent skill (polotno-project/skills) so coding agents can integrate the SDK correctly.
