Sandbox of Icecat Studio Just Got a Smarter Design Tool to Enhance Your Rich Content Pages

We just did a major update of our Sandbox image editor in Icecat Studio – making it smarter, more precise, and closer than ever to the professional design tools used across the industry.

What’s New in Sandbox?

With the latest upgrade, Sandbox is now equipped with powerful features designed to give brands full creative control:

Canvas ruler – measure distances and align objects precisely for pixel-perfect results.

Undo/redo – quickly step back or forward to fix mistakes or revisit earlier edits.

Alignment guides – smart guides that automatically snap objects into neat alignment.

Lock layers – secure specific layers. So, nothing gets distorted by accident.

Name layers – keep projects organized with custom names for each layer.

These updates make editing smoother, faster, and much more reliable for any brand user – from first-time editors to experienced designers.

A Quick Reminder: What Is Sandbox?

Sandbox is Icecat Studio’s integrated image editing tool, built to let users enrich story visuals with extra elements: icons, text, shapes, or additional image layers.

This is especially powerful for Amazon A+ and A+ Premium syndication, where brands are often limited by predefined modules. With Sandbox, brand editors can design unique, standout visuals directly in Icecat Studio – without being held back by Amazon’s restrictions.

The Game-Changer: Sandbox is powered by AI features

What really sets Sandbox apart is our AI integration. Text that you add inside the Sandbox isn’t static – it’s dynamic. This means:

  • If you create an image with text in Sandbox, the text is automatically translated when you translate the story.
  • No more sending files back and forth between translators, designers, and e-merch teams.
  • Everything can be done in one place, by one person, without requiring deep design or language skills.

This innovation is more than a time-saver. It’s a major step forward for brands and their agencies, helping them speed up processes while keeping consistency across markets.

With these updates, Sandbox is no longer just a basic editor – it’s the place where design meets AI content management.

Instead of juggling between multiple tools and sending files back and forth:

  • Create and edit visuals inside Icecat Studio – no need to switch to external design software.
  • Translate seamlessly – text inside images translates automatically when stories are localized.
  • Publish instantly – connect to Icecat brand cloud, Amazon, and your partners directly, ensuring consistent brand visuals across markets.

This means design and content teams can work together in one workflow, using a single platform to create, localize, and distribute rich content globally.
