"A Flexible, Easy-to-Integrate Image Editor That Just Works"

4/5

What do you like best about IMG.LY?

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.

What do you dislike about IMG.LY?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IMG.LY solving and how is that benefiting you?

IMG.LY solves the challenge of building and maintaining a robust image editing solution in-house.

Instead of dedicating significant development resources to create and continuously update an editor, we can plug in IMG.LY and focus on our core product.

This saves us considerable time and engineering effort while still delivering a polished, feature-rich editing experience to our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth Migration and Excellent Support with Creative Editor SDK"

4.5/5

What do you like best about IMG.LY?

They offered a very good direct support during our migration from the PhotoEditorSDK to the new Creative Editor SDK.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IMG.LY?

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.

What problems is IMG.LY solving and how is that benefiting you?

IMG.LY has enabled us to incorporate a photo editor SDK directly within our app. The ability to customize the color scheme means the SDK fits perfectly with our app’s overall design system. Having the option to integrate an SDK like this is a unique advantage in the market and significantly enhances the user experience for our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pro-Level Creative Tools with Seamless Integration and Customization"

5/5

What do you like best about IMG.LY?

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.

What do you dislike about IMG.LY?

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.

What problems is IMG.LY solving and how is that benefiting you?

IMG.LY solves the problem of adding high-quality photo/video/design editing inside an app without having to build and maintain a full editor from scratch. For Bevoly, that means we can offer users a polished, feature-rich creation experience (templates, text, stickers, adjustments, exports) much faster, with consistent results across devices. It benefits us by reducing engineering time and long-term maintenance, letting our team focus on Bevoly’s core product, while still delivering professional-grade output and customization where we need it.

"A top choice for anybody looking for design automation"

5/5

What do you like best about IMG.LY?

For us, the ability to tailor and extend the editor’s functionality allowed us to perfectly fit it to our platform’s needs.

In addition, the CreativeEngine running in headless mode lets us build powerful automations, allowing us to automatically format AI-generated content into polished graphics without requiring manual editing. It streamlined our workflow significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IMG.LY?

Given the SDK’s extensive range of functionalities, there is a learning curve. As powerful as it is, getting comfortable with more advanced use cases took some effort. The documentation is decent, but it sometimes requires a bit of digging to understand certain features or uncover hidden functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
