Embeddable Easy To Use Editor: Design Huddle provides an embedded HTML5 editor that is said to offer a clean and user-friendly graphic design experience. Users can reportedly drag and drop image assets onto the canvas, add shapes and social media icons, and easily mask photos to any shape. The editor is said to support custom fonts, undo and redo functionality, and advanced features like drop shadows and color adjustments.

Product Image Background: Users have the option to display the canvas on top of any background image they choose, which is said to enhance the user experience for designing products like t-shirts or coffee cups. The vendor states that the background image in the editor can be easily switched out using the Javascript SDK, allowing for previewing designs on products with different color options.

Advanced Editor Interactions: According to the vendor, Design Huddle allows real-time retrieval of project metadata, such as colors, text, and dimensions. This feature is said to support custom validation or pricing. Additionally, real-time thumbnails can reportedly be received as the user makes changes in the editor.

Custom Canvas Shape: According to the vendor, Design Huddle allows users to create custom canvases of any shape and size, making it suitable for designing apparel, stickers, die-cut printing, and more. They claim to provide support for custom shapes based on SVG or transparent PNG, including die lines and overprint.

Variable Templates: Design Huddle reportedly allows users to easily customize pre-made print templates or create designs from scratch. The vendor states that specific editing controls can be locked to simplify the end-user experience, and user-specific data, assets, and styles can be auto-populated into predefined zones.

No Print Segmentation: Users have the ability to designate specific elements on the canvas to not be exported or printed, which the vendor suggests is useful for custom instructional text directly on the canvas and creating custom safe zone experiences.
