  • Updates as sweet as (Pi)e – 15 March 2022

    Last week we thanked all the incredible women out there in the world who’re crushing it💃. If you haven’t watched our video for International Women’s Day, then shame on you! 😄 Just kidding, watch it here.

    Did you know that 14 March is Pi Day? 𝛑 Well, what the hell is that? Ask the math lovers. Because the value of Pi can never be calculated. Yes, it is rounded up to 3.14, but it is, actually, infinite. Like our love for you. ❤️ And, it was also Albert Einstein’s 143rd birthday. 

    We care about you more than the math lovers care about Pi. How do we show that? With feature updates 🥳

    Enjoy the exciting updates of this Fortnight 👇


    Pick what you want 🧐

    Have you ever been in a situation when you download all the slides in a presentation and notice that one of the slides needs to be reworked? 😅

    That pain is real. What’s even worse? Downloading all the slides just for the sake of one. 

    We get it. We always feel the pulse of our users. So, here we go.

    Introducing “Specific Slide Download” 🥁. Now you can choose to download a specific slide from your presentation design. 

    That’s not all. You can also set a range to download – like 1 to 6 slides. This way, you can present only your finished designs. 

    The download section is getting advanced 🚀 over time. And we are happy to bring a lot to the table.

    Specific Slide Download

    Suit up…Oops…Link up 🔗

    What if the design elements like objects and text can be linked 🔗 to a website or another slide? Fun, isn’t it? 

    No need to open a new tab and manually type a link. No need to scroll through numerous slides to show a reference.

    Just add hyperlinks to any design element in your artboard. We said it right. ANY design element!

    Interlink for better reference 😇

    Hyperlink

    Templates say “Search Me” 🔍

    Picmaker template search bar is a powerful engine that helps you to find a relevant design from thousands of templates. You know that.

    The search bar is now available inside the workspace 🥳. You can find the right template for your design right from the sidebar.

    Show me the money, Oops, margins!

    Remember how you got rapped on knuckles for not maintaining margins while writing?

    Well, that’s why we brought Margins to Picmaker. Now, you know where to draw the margins for your designs.

    I don’t bleed in war, neither in peace 😜 – Print Bleed

    Staying on the lines of margins, we’ve also gotten you the Print Bleed feature.

    We know it is near impossible to print exactly to the edge of the paper.

    That’s why you can use Picmaker’s Print Bleed to print your designs on oversized papers and cut it to size while your design ‘bleeds off the paper.’

    One more option to stay organized – Move to Folder 📁

    Being organized is being in control. But steering clear of an unorganized workspace is tiresome in graphic design.

    We get it. And what do we do about it?

    Here comes the option in the File menu to move your design directly to your desired folder from the workspace. So, no more clutters, no more chaos!

    Move to folder

    Text Prebuilts have become clever 🧠

    We talk about our AI-based MAD button which suggests different unique designs.

    The intelligence is not just limited to the MAD button.

    Now, Text Prebuilts change the text color automatically based on the background. The text changes to white for the dark background and black for the light background.

    Save time and spend more on creativity!
