  • 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 🥳

    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.

    It’s handy and extremely helpful if you change your mind to choose a different template while designing. And, we’re working on making it even better!

  • Goodbye 2021 | December 31, 2021

    Spotify says our favorite song of 2021 was Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License.” Damn, Spotify seems to know all that we listen to under the shower!

    The year’s drawing to a close and all of us want to review/preview our year. That’s why one of the top features this week is our ‘Preview Slides’ – it lets you review or preview your designs – all in one go.

    Let us dig into it now.

    Preview Slides in a single window 👀

    Creating multiple designs in one deck? Nice work! 👏  What you need is the ability to look at them all at once. Now, view all your design slides in a single window. 

    What’s more? You can duplicate, delete, and create a new slide from one place.


    It’s time to design your own templates 🥳

    Looking to start a business in design? Nice idea, go for it! We’ll be rooting for you from the sidelines. 🙌

    But, you know what you need for your design business to flourish? You need a way to share them and make money.

    That’s why we’ve enabled you to design your own templates and share them with your clients, friends, and colleagues. 

    The “Use as template” feature creates a copy of your design and allows others to edit as a template.


    Bug Fixes & Enhancements

    • A creepy crawly bug was causing the dragging-and-dropping of images onto your designs a little difficult. We’ve now sent it to the savannah grasslands in South Africa. 
    • We heard you. The struggle of adding custom fonts to grouped objects is over. Now you can add your own fonts and group them flawlessly.

  • Legendary Updates | December 15, 2021

    Let’s admit it: At some point in our school days, all of us started a presentation with “So, yeah…!” Whatever that meant, it surely helped oversee the giggles of our classmates.

    Our top feature for this fortnight is the ‘Present with Picmaker.’

    Let us dive right in.

    Awestruck your team with Present 😎

    Use Picmaker’s ‘Present’ feature to present your design to your team and clients, and save precious time.

    Pssst. The next time someone asks you to do their presentation, you know how to present them – with Picmaker, of course!

    Additional reading: We spent an entire weekend writing a blog on how to present with Picmaker. So, please for the love of God, read it! 😄


    Shhh….Share your design

    Collaborate on your designs with friends and colleagues, and create a true masterpiece. Invite people to your workspace using their email IDs, and they’ll be able to view your work or work along with you.

    Bug Fixes & Enhancements
