IMG.LY Reviews & Product Details

The SDK integration into our Flutter-based mobile application was remarkably smooth. IMG.LY's creative editing engine gave us production-ready photo and video editing capabilities without having to build from scratch, which saved our engineering team months of development time. The customization options are extensive — we were able to tailor the UI and feature set to match our brand identity seamlessly. What really sets them apart is the direct access to their engineering team for custom adjustments. When we needed specific modifications for our social media platform's content creation flow, they were responsive, collaborative, and delivered solutions quickly. The cross-platform consistency between iOS and Android is excellent, and performance on lower-end devices exceeded our expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation could be more comprehensive in certain edge cases, particularly around advanced customization scenarios in Flutter. There were moments during initial integration where we had to rely on direct support rather than self-serve docs. Pricing can feel steep for a growth-stage startup scaling rapidly, and it would be helpful to have more flexible tier options that align with user growth milestones rather than fixed thresholds.

IMG.LY offers an excellent balance of ease of implementation and deep customisation options.

We integrated it into our platform to provide users with a powerful image editor, and the entire implementation process was remarkably smooth.

The SDK is well-structured and flexible enough to adapt to our specific needs.

The team has been responsive and genuinely helpful throughout our journey, from trial to production. The extensive customisation capabilities allowed us to tailor the editor to match our product's look and feel seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation could be better organized, finding specific information sometimes requires more digging than expected. Additionally, the dedicated Slack channel for direct communication with the team is only available during the trial period, which would be valuable to have ongoing for faster support on implementation questions.

They offered a very good direct support during our migration from the PhotoEditorSDK to the new Creative Editor SDK. The transition was very straightforward, and now we are benefiting from a client SDK that runs more smoothly and is well-prepared to accommodate any future feature requests we may have.

At times, I found it a bit challenging to locate the specific information I needed in the documentation. However, everything I was looking for was ultimately available—it just required knowing exactly what to search for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the amount of features offered by IMG.LY and the ease of integration it provides. Additionally, I am very satisfied with the quality in terms of performance and stability. The installation was very easy, and I appreciate how IMG.LY has allowed us to provide customers with advanced photo editing features. Being a photo printing company, this has greatly improved our service. Previously, we used an internal library that was very limited and expensive to maintain or evolve.

Nothing in particular to report Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to integrate their engine. Their documentation is very good and straightforward to follow. We’ve been using it in our products, and it’s been working as expected. I also like the customer support: they always respond and help us whenever we have a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe it lacks some common features found in design/video editing tools, like, for example, speed changes, reverse, and snap guides between pages. I know they’re working on improving this, but overall it feels good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer Support is great, and the product works well and is easy to integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation especially around React Native Expo customization should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about IMG.LY is how it gives you a pro-level creative toolchain without making you build everything from scratch:

Excellent SDKs & UI kits: The editing experiences (photo/video/design) feel polished and modern, and the components are flexible enough to match your app’s look and flow.

Fast integration: You can get to a working editor quickly, and then gradually go deeper with customization as your needs grow.

Deep customization: It’s not just “drop-in and hope”—you can tailor tools, workflows, presets, and output behavior to fit real product requirements.

Quality output & performance: Results look professional, and the editors generally hold up well even for heavier use cases.

Strong docs and support: Clear documentation and solid support make a big difference when you’re integrating something this complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few things I disliked (or found challenging) about IMG.LY mostly come with the territory of a powerful, highly customizable SDK:

Learning curve: There are a lot of concepts and configuration options, so it can take a bit to feel “fluent,” especially if you’re doing deeper customization.

Customization can get complex: The flexibility is great, but once you move beyond defaults (custom tools, panels, export pipelines, design system alignment), the implementation effort can ramp up quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
