Changelog
What's new, what's fixed, what's changed.
MAY 20, 2026
- PuffKit: the Layers panel now shows a thumbnail of each shape instead of just a color code, so you can tell layers apart at a glance
- PuffKit: precise value editing — type an exact value into any slider's number box or nudge it with ← / → arrow keys, and the depth slider is less twitchy for small tweaks
- PuffKit: fixed shapes sometimes disappearing behind the icon body
MAY 14, 2026
- Aura: Gradient — a new 9th shape alongside the 8 3D objects. Renders a mesh gradient built from your palette: 5 color regions, softmax blending, grain texture. For flat-design covers when you don't want a 3D centerpiece
- Aura: color picker — pick an anchor color, one of four harmony rules (Analogous, Complement, Triadic, Mono) builds a 5-color palette. Updates live as you drag
- Aura: simpler UI — Palette, Shape and View now open as inline popovers right above the toolbar. The right-side Tuner panel and the upload modal are gone. Material moved into Shape. Variation, Background and curated-palette buttons removed
MAY 8, 2026
- InkKit launched — browser-only generator that turns photos, logos and icons into hand-pressed stamp impressions in one click. Three opinionated presets (Sketch line work, classic Stamp, worn Vintage), auto ink-color detection, smart background removal, and 1200/2500px PNG export. Made for Etsy sellers, handmade brands and small studios making sticker sheets, product stamps and branded labels
- Pro upgrade: branded stamp text — top/bottom arc and full circular ring layouts with letter-spacing control, $5 one-time
APR 27, 2026
- Aura launched — free, browser-only generator for premium 3D abstract covers. Upload any image to extract a brand palette, then sculpt 8 organic shapes in chrome or candy materials. Made for Notion, Linktree, Bento and landing page heroes
- Published the Aura tutorial
APR 24, 2026
- AutoKit: Templates — one click to apply a hand-crafted entrance + loop combo instead of picking both separately. 17 presets so far: Heart, Star, Checkmark, Loading, Pin Drop, Jiggle, Balloon, Alert, Sparkle, and more
- AutoKit: Surprise me inside Templates rotates through every preset — each click lands on a genuinely different vibe instead of the old same-feeling Shuffle. The separate Shuffle button is gone; everything animation-related now lives in one place
- AutoKit: motion feels less templatey — each entrance uses its own physics curve (spring overshoots, drops bounce on settle, reveals snap). Bigger shapes animate with a touch more weight than smaller ones
- AutoKit: three new loops — jello (squash-stretch Q-bounce), sparkle (multi-property twinkle for stars and awards), sway (gentle pendulum for balloons and hanging elements). Plus blink (eyes) and heartbeat (badges)
- AutoKit: new Roll In entrance — elements roll in with a spring, great for refresh icons and wheels
APR 24, 2026
- PuffKit: Chrome — metallic polished surface with neon reflections, for cyberpunk hero icons
- PuffKit: Glass — transmission-based crystal with real volumetric refraction; transparent body lets the backdrop show through the shape
- PuffKit: Holo — iridescent thin-film shimmer (rainbow rim at glancing angles), for Y2K / dreamy pastel outputs
- PuffKit: Clear — studio-lit tinted glass, for water drops, perfume bottles, product-shot aesthetics
- PuffKit: background toolbar simplified — 5 direct picks (transparent, dark, light, mint gradient, night gradient). Gradient backdrops now pass through Glass and Holo refraction so you actually see the gradient bending through the shape
APR 23, 2026
- AutoKit: the element list now shows a thumbnail of each layer, so you can actually see which one you're picking — no more guessing from "path" / "ellipse" / "el_3"
- AutoKit: Fluent Emoji and 3D-style icons now work out of the box — layered gradients merge into one unit instead of flickering into pieces
- AutoKit: manual grouping — tick multiple layers with checkboxes and group them as one unit. Finally handles emoji with separate hand + arm paths that should animate together. Works across filter wrappers too, so grouping hand + sleeve + arm on a Fluent Emoji preserves the soft-shadow effect
- AutoKit: Shuffle is emoji-aware — picks one hero entrance + 1-2 subtle accents (eyes, nostrils, ears) instead of making every decorative layer jitter at once
- AutoKit: symmetric features animate in pairs — no more one eye blinking while the other sits still
- AutoKit: soft-focus glows and drop-shadows no longer drift during breathing loops
- AutoKit: removed the over-eager auto-spin default that sometimes made hand silhouettes and emoji faces rotate
- AutoKit: cleaner layer names (Shape, Oval, Rectangle)
APR 21, 2026
- PuffKit launched — dedicated 3D puff sticker generator for flat SVG icons. Handles multi-color, multi-layer artwork (not just single-color logos); purpose-built for the claymorphism aesthetic; browser-only PNG export
APR 18, 2026
- Color Swap launched — free, browser-only bulk-recolor for Freepik / unDraw SVGs. Auto-groups colors into Primary / Accent / Neutral; related shades shift together so shading is preserved; ZIP batch export
- Published the Color Swap tutorial
