Abyssale Changelog

Hi there,

Sending a client one link per format makes reviews slow and scattered. The share view now opens on an All formats board: every format of your design side by side, so reviewers see the whole set in one place and can still open any single format to comment.

The whole set on one board

Open a share link to a design with several formats and you land on All formats. Each format sits on the board with a label showing its name and size, such as "facebook-post 1200x1200". Use the zoom buttons at the bottom right (Zoom out, Zoom in, Zoom to fit) to get the view you want.

Play everything together

Animated design? Press Play all formats and every format plays at once on a single timeline, with Loop if you want it on repeat.

Jump into one format

Click a format's label, or pick it in the Formats list on the left, to open it on its own with the Comments panel. Click All formats in the list to go back to the board.

Also smoother: video playback and comments in the single-format view.

Tip: Share a design with 3 formats (for example 1200 x 1200, 1080 x 1920 and 300 x 600) and a 5 s animation: one link, one Play all formats click, and your client reviews all three in 5 seconds. In Share, set the access (Everyone at Abyssale, Project members or Public) and keep Enable comments on.

Hi there,

Eyeballing the space between layers is slow, and a few pixels off is all it takes to make a design look unbalanced. Snapping in the Design Editor is now smarter: layers snap to equal spacing, snap while you resize, and you can check any distance in one keypress. The result is cleaner layouts with a lot less nudging.

Equal spacing, found for you

Drag a layer between two others and it snaps to the exact spot where the space on both sides is the same. The distance is shown on each side, so you can see at a glance that the gaps match.

Snap while you resize

Snapping is no longer only for moving. Drag a resize handle toward another layer and the edge snaps right onto it, so widths and edges line up without guesswork.

Measure any gap with Alt / Option

Select a layer, hold Alt (Option on Mac), and hover another layer to see the distance between them in pixels. When layers sit diagonally, you get both the horizontal and the vertical distance. Snap guides and rulers also have a refreshed look.

Prefer to place things freely? Snapping can still be turned off any time: open the zoom menu (the zoom percentage at the top right) and untick Enable magnets.

Tip: On a 1080 x 1080 design with a 220 px wide block at x100 and another at x760, drag a third 220 px block between them. It snaps to the middle, leaving 110 px on each side. Need it wider? Drag its right handle toward the block on the right: from 220 px it snaps to 330 px, with its edge landing exactly on the neighbour's left edge.

Hi there,

Need text that reads cleanly in your AI visuals, or a 4K image that holds up when you zoom in? Flux.3, from Black Forest Labs, is now available in Text to image. It is built for precise local edits and sharp text rendering, and it generates natively in 4K.

Sharp text, native 4K

Flux.3 renders text cleanly, which helps for banners, covers and any visual with a headline in it. It also makes precise local edits, so you can change one area without redoing the whole image. Add up to 10 reference images to guide the result.

Find it in two clicks

Select an image layer and click Text to image in the AI toolbar below the canvas. Open the model picker: Flux.3 is listed first with a NEW badge. Then choose your ratio and quality (1k, 2k or 4k).

Know the cost before you generate

The credit cost is shown next to the generate button, so there are no surprises. At a 1:1 ratio, Flux.3 costs:

• 1k: 6 AI credits
• 2k: 23 AI credits
• 4k: 89 AI credits

Tip: Explore at 1k first. Try 3 prompt ideas for 18 credits (3 × 6), then re-run your favorite at 4k for 89 credits. That is 107 credits in total, instead of 267 for three 4k tries.

Hi there,

Checking a design meant switching formats one by one and hoping nothing broke along the way. The editor now has an All formats view: every format of your design, side by side on a single board.

Compare every format at a glance

Click the All formats button in the top bar, right next to the Select tool. The board shows all your formats in the same order as the Format Manager. Each one has a label with its name and size, for example facebook-post 1200×1200, so a cut-off headline or an off-balance layout stands out straight away. Zoom in and move around the board to inspect the details.

On multi-page designs, the button is called All pages and the board shows every page side by side.

Play animations in place

On an animated design, press the play button above any format. Its label turns mint green, and a progress bar with the elapsed time shows where you are in the animation. Play one format or several, without leaving the board.

A view for checking, one click from editing

The board is read-only: it is there to check your work, so nothing moves by accident. Spot something to fix? Click Select in the top bar to go back to the editor.

Tip: on a design with a 1200×1200 post, a 1080×1920 story and a 300×600 half-page, play the animation on each format and check that the headline stays readable in the narrowest one (300 px wide) before you export.

Hi there,

Two API releases this week. You can now manage designs entirely through REST, and the design import is more reliable.

Manage designs through REST

Three endpoints that were only available through MCP are now part of the REST API:

• PUT /designs/{designId}/name: rename a design.
• PUT /designs/{designId}/project: move a design to another project. This resets its approval status.
• DELETE /designs/{designId}: delete a design. It cannot be restored.

All three are in the Write rate-limit tier.

Smoother design imports (alpha)

• Skew: the import now supports skew on rounded-corner and window masks, and on frame and window shapes. Export returns it too.
• Layer names follow the editor rule (a-z, 0-9, - and _). Older names are converted, with a layer_renamed warning.
• Auto-layout groups: members are placed by the import, as the editor does when you save.
• No more endless polling: a stuck import times out after 60 min for the build and 30 min for previews.

Fixes

• Export as import now returns min_font_size, so text auto-resize survives a round trip.
• Skewed text renders with the same slant as in the editor, in images and PDFs.
• A failed import no longer leaves a half-built design.

Tip: the new endpoints make it easy to tidy up a workspace from a script, for example moving every design of a finished campaign to an archive project.

Hi there,

Framing a photo, a logo or a product shot used to mean stacking an extra shape behind it. Image layers now have a Border: set a width and a color and the frame is drawn for you.

Switch it on, set two values

Select an image layer and turn on Border in Styles (between Mask and Blur). Two settings:

• Width: set it with the slider or type a value (default 1).
• Color: pick it in the color picker (default #000000).

The border is drawn outside the image box and follows the mask, so a rounded or circle mask gets a border of the same shape.

Good to know

• Works in the editor and through the API: set stroke_width and stroke_color on an image element when you generate.
• Borders are included when you export a design with the API and when you import it back.

Tip: for a thin outline on a profile photo, try a width of 4 with a white color, then set the same values through the API to keep every generated visual consistent.

Hi there,

Ragged right edges look untidy on longer blocks of text, like descriptions or legal lines. Text layers now support justified alignment: every line stretches to the full width of the box.

Three ways to justify

In the editor, select a text layer and open Styles > Text alignment. The fourth icon (justify) opens a dropdown with three options:

• Justify, last line left
• Justify, last line centered
• Justify, last line right

Every line fills the box width, except the last line of each paragraph, which keeps the alignment you picked.

Good to know

• Works in the editor and through the API: text_align accepts justify-left, justify-center and justify-right on text layers.
• The last line of each paragraph keeps its alignment (left, centered or right).
• The existing Left, Center and Right options are unchanged.

Tip: justified text looks best in wide boxes where each line holds several words, like product descriptions or legal mentions.

Hi there,

Generating variations from a form is fast, but a different brand or market often needs a different typeface. Quick generation now lets you choose the font of a text layer, right in the form.

Change the look, not the design

As the designer, turn on Enable Font Selection for each text layer in Settings > Layers configuration > Quick generation Settings (it is off by default), then click Save changes. In the Quick generation form, that text field now shows a font dropdown with search, so you can adapt the tone of a visual in a few clicks.

Good to know

• Available in Quick generation only, not in spreadsheet generation.
• The font list offers Google Fonts.
• Font selection is enabled per text layer by the designer.

Tip: generate the same banner twice, once with a clean sans-serif for a corporate audience and once with a playful font for social, without touching the original design.

Hi there,

Adapting one print design to a flyer, a poster and a business card by hand takes time. Auto format AI now works on print designs too, so you can restructure a layout for new print formats in a single click.

Print formats, adapted by AI

Open your print design, click Add new formats, pick your target formats and turn on Ai-powered formats. Each action costs 10 AI credits, whether you create one format or several. The AI reads your layout and rearranges your layers for each new format, instead of simply stretching them.

Good to know

• Works with the print formats from A0 to A4 and with Custom sizes.
• Review each new format before sending it to your printer.

Tip: turn a portrait A4 flyer into a landscape poster in one action, then fine-tune the layout if needed.

Hi there,

Revealing a headline one letter at a time is not always what you want. The Typewriting text effect now lets you choose how your text appears and when it plays, so your animated banners match the pace of your message.

Reveal per letter, word or line

A new Split dropdown in the Animation tab lets you reveal your text per letter, per word or per line (Letter is the default). Short punchy headlines work well word by word, and multi-line captions read nicely line by line.

Play it in, out, or both

The new Timing option offers In (the default), Out or In & out. Out plays the effect in reverse, with the last unit disappearing first, so your text can leave as smoothly as it arrived.

Decorations that type with the text

• Underline, strike-through, diagonal and per-character highlight now appear together with their characters, instead of showing from the first frame.
• A paragraph background stays whole.
• Arabic and Hebrew texts now animate too, per word or per line.

For developers, the API accepts the optional textEffectSplit and textEffectTiming fields on textEffect keyframes, and the export returns them. Nothing breaks for existing integrations.

Tip: set Split to Word on a 6-word headline and use In & out, so the message builds up word by word and then clears the screen at the end of your banner.
