What Unlayer is

Unlayer is a developer platform for embedding content-creation experiences into software products. Its builders cover email, page, popup, and document workflows, and the platform also includes templates, AI workflows, Elements, and export APIs.

The product is aimed at teams that want users to design and export branded content inside their own app rather than sending them to separate tools. The site emphasizes embeddable builders, one JSON design schema across builders, and developer surfaces such as SDKs, REST APIs, a CLI, and agent skills.

Core capabilities

Embeddable visual builders

Embed email, page, popup, and document builders inside your product so users create content without leaving your app.

AI-assisted creation workflows

Let users generate, rewrite, translate, personalize, and refine content inside the builder instead of switching to separate tools.

Template management

Create, lock, reuse, and manage branded templates across workflows, with support for starter templates and reusable blocks.

Export and generation APIs

Export content to HTML, PDF, image, plain text, and ZIP, with server-side or client-side generation supported.

Developer platform

Use SDKs, REST APIs, React Elements, a CLI, and agent skills to integrate the platform into product code and internal workflows.

Customization and governance

Support brand control and workflow fit with white-labeling, custom storage, localization, themes, collaboration, and related controls on paid plans.

Common use cases

  • In-app email creation

    Embed a responsive email editor in a SaaS or CRM product so users can build newsletters, onboarding messages, and transactional emails without leaving the app.

  • Website and landing page building

    Add a page composer for landing pages, pricing pages, product pages, or registration pages, with responsive layouts and editable page metadata.

  • Document workflow automation

    Let teams create proposals, reports, and contracts that start as structured content and export to PDF-ready documents.

  • Conversion and campaign assets

    Give marketing or product teams a shared builder for popups, banners, and lead-capture experiences that can be managed under one platform.

  • White-label content tooling

    Support white-labeled content creation experiences where the builder, templates, and controls are embedded under the host product’s brand.
