  • Bye Bye Palindrome | 01 March 2022

    Yay! We have successfully passed the shortest of 2022 🥳

    We even witnessed a Palindrome day (22-02-22) 🔁 and an ambigram – both rolled into one – that too in the month of love. 🤟 The fun was real. The next palindrome is going to be only on 03 Feb 2030 (03-02-2030). So, hell yeah!

    And to add more mirth to it, here are the awesome feature releases that we rolled out in the second half of February. 

    From ruler and guidelines to multi-size downloads, we have given more power to you that helps to take your designs to the next level 😎

    P.S. A palindrome is a word that reads the same forward and backward. An ambigram is any text that can be read anyways – straight, inverted, and mirror image. 😎😎


    Ruler 📐 of the Graphic Land 

    Are you concerned about the placement and size of elements in your artboard 🤔? Don’t worry!

    Here comes the ruler of the graphic land. Measure 📐 the size (width and height) of elements using two rulers (top and left). 

    To show the ruler, check out the “Artboard Settings” in the file menu.

    Guide-lines ⎸⎹ to Guide You

    We didn’t stop just by adding the ruler to the artboard. Sprinkling more spice to a feature is our habit 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Introducing Guides – An exciting feature that comes in handy with the ruler 😎

    Drag out guides from the ruler to perfectly place elements on the artboard. Enables ✅ guides from the “Artboard Settings” in the File menu.

    Between Grouping and Ungrouping

    Grouped components never stop you from deleting the individual elements from now on.

    That option is just a click away!
