Version 2020-1.3.4

December 2, 2020

Please check out the full release article for an overview of all the marvelous improvements we made with this release.

New features

  • Touch Support
    • Introducing the much-awaited version of Gravit Designer optimized for touch-enabled devices – available for iOS and Android devices, and also for Chrome OS and laptops with touch displays.
    • The minimum screen size required is 1024 x 768 pixels. Also, please see the Downloads page for the minimum system requirements for the touch mode.
    • To switch to the Touch interface, please go to View > Touch Interface. On touch devices there is an automatic detection, so this switch is not necessary.
    • In case the touch version is accessed on an unsupported browser or device, a warning message is shown.
    • The touch version is fully compatible with the Apple Pencil and other pen devices.
    • Please see this article for a complete overview our new touch feature or check out our user guide.
  • Real-time collaboration with comments and annotations
    • With this new feature, users can collaborate with each other in real-time when sharing a file, with comments and annotations, on the new Comments panel.
    • A new Sharing dialog is available, where it’s possible to create a link for public sharing or a link for private sharing, inviting the other users via email. Please note that Private sharing is a Gravit Designer PRO feature.
    • For public or private sharing, the file owner can delegate a specific role to the users opening the shared file. It’s possible to choose from Viewer, Developer, Reviewer, Approver or Co-Author. To remove the access granted previously, choose No Access.
    • The file owner can invite collaborators with no Gravit Designer account through the Guest Access, where the guest receives an email and can access the file, with limited actions on the interface.
    • Using the Comment tools available at the top of the panel, users can leave comments about specific parts of the file, interacting with each other. The tools available are Notes, Line, Highlighter, Pen, Rectangle and Ellipse. Each commenting tool has its own settings such as color or line-width to be customized. Please see this video.
    • For a full overview of the functionality of this brand new collaboration feature, please take a look at this article or check out our user guide.

Improvements

  • Massively improved the performance of Gravit Designer when panning and zooming. Our CTO achieved this by caching rendered areas so that they are not re-rendered again.
  • Now it’s possible to save files locally on the PWA version and web version, as you are used to from the existing desktop versions. We are also working hard to bring system fonts to the PWA as quickly as possible, to make the PWA a fully-featured alternative to the desktop versions.
  • Removed restrictions for Copy and Paste functions from the Edit menu in the menu bar. Please note that, as against using the keyboard shortcuts with Ctrl/Cmd + C/V, the options in the menu bar just work for content inside of Gravit Designer.
  • A series of improvements were made to avoid memory issues.
  • When an anonymous user accesses a shared link now, a dialog is shown to allow the to enter his name. Please see this screenshot.
  • Several improvements to auto-save:
    • The dialog that shows for unsaved or local files now has a “Don’t show this again” checkbox to be less annoying. Also added a setting to disable this warning message.
    • Added a dialog that asks if auto-save should be enabled, informing our customers about this new feature.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a problem with the export dialog considering objects from disabled pages, showing an error message.
  • Solved a problem where the text on exported PDF files was duplicated.
  • Fixed an issue where the Color Adjust effect, in some cases, lowered the quality of the exported image.
  • Fixed an issue where opening an older version of the file in Version History, without making any changes, would make the file “dirty” (as if there would be changes).
  • It is possible to correctly reset your Gravit Designer account password again.
  • Fixed a problem where Inner Shadows applied to objects in the back of the canvas would be rendered in front instead.
  • Fixed an issue where the Save option would be disabled if the Saving dialog was opened and then closed without actually saving the file.
  • Issue fixed, when Gravit Designer appears as being offline but the user is actually online.

Version 2020-1.3.3

September 10, 2020

Please note: All of the following is only available in the web app and the PWA.

New features

  • More reliability with the long-awaited auto-save function:
    • Gravit Designer now automatically saves your Cloud files every 5 minutes, after they were first saved. Please see this video.
    • Every auto-save creates a new entry in the Version History of the file.
    • Auto-save won’t happen for local or downloaded files, only if files are opened from the Cloud. Otherwise, a message is shown as a reminder.
    • When offline, auto-save is not active, but a message is shown as a reminder.
    • Files are only auto-saved if there is actual progress.
    • The auto-save function can be disabled in the Settings, and it’s possible to change the interval for saving from 5 to 10 or 15 minutes.
    • Of course, saving manually still takes precedence over auto-saving, especially when loading a file.
    • We are working hard to make auto-save also available in Safari – where it’s not supported yet.
  • When dragging an object and reaching the edge of the canvas/viewport, it now pans automatically. The same goes when drawing a shape or path, dragging an anchor point, or making a selection.

Improvements

  • The color mode (RGB, CMYK, HSB) is now a global setting:
    • Instead of the previous way of changing the color mode for each object, the color mode is now a global document configuration, similar to units and DPI.
  • Added rich tooltips to more items of the UI (menus for PRO and Free versions).
  • Added multiple precautions to retain files during a possible crash of the application.

Bugfixes

  • Solved a problem with the Color Adjust effect lowering an image’s quality.
  • Fixed some problems with PDF import and export:
    • Colors not being exported correctly for some objects.
    • Fixed an issue where paths with arrows and a gradient fill were exported as all black.
    • Inner Shadow effect missing on the exported objects.
    • Solved a problem where the color code of borders changed when exported in CMYK.
    • Fixed an issue with a PDF generated on Adobe InDesign not opening correctly on Gravit Designer.

    • The “Save” button is now disabled while the file is being saved.
    • Changes made to the file while it’s being saved or synchronized now make the file “dirty”, meaning that these changes will be shown as not saved, in order to avoid losing any progress. Please see a this video.
  • Improvements to File tabs:
    • Previously, new files were named as “Untitled” on the files tab. Now, every new file is named and ordered numerically, as in “Untitled-1”, “Untitled-2”, and “Untitled-3”, and so on. Please see this screenshot.
    • New context-menu for each File tab on right-click, with easier access to many file options.
    • Managing file tabs is much easier now, as the current active file is always visible no matter how many tabs are open, and a dropdown on the right shows all opened tabs. Please see this video.
    • It’s also possible to freely rearrange the file tabs now. Please see this video.
  • Many improvements to the Pages Panel user interface and workflow:
    • When on Multipage mode, pages are now highlighted when hovering it on the Pages Panel (and vice-versa). Please see this video.

  • “Scale Font on Resize” is now called “Autoscale Font” to go in line with other settings.
  • The color code is now shown when moving the color picker over any element.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed some Linux issues.

Version 2020-1.2

April 22, 2020

New features

  • Ability to use Gravit Designer as a PWA (Progressive Web App).
    • Our new PWA allows you to run Gravit Designer as a desktop-like application right from your browser, no download or extensive installation required.
    • The PWA works in the latest versions of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. It can be installed by clicking on the + icon in the address bar or from File → Install to Desktop in the menu bar.
    • After confirming the installation, Gravit Designer is opened in a separate window and can now be found in Chrome apps (after entering chrome://apps in the address bar).
    • Besides the desktop-like feeling, the main advantage of the PWA is that it can be fully used offline.
    • Furthermore, the PWA is kept up-to-date automatically.
    • We are already working hard to bring the other features you are used to from the regular desktop app to the PWA too, like system fonts and saving right to your local file system (currently, you just have the File → Download option, like in the web app). Stay tuned!
  • Miter limit for borders in the Advanced Border Settings, when Joins is set to Miter. With sharp angles, it’s possible for the “miter” to extend far beyond the thickness of the path, so the new miter limit is used to define when this limit is exceeded, converting the joint to a Bevel type. Please see this video.

Improvements

  • In consequence of Google’s deprecation of OAuth authentication for non-standard browsers, we’re now using the native browser to prevent any login errors in the desktop app.

Bugfixes

  • Solved some translation issues with the UI.
  • Fixed the features Bring to Front and Bring Forward from the Arrange menu.
  • Using several instances of text attached to a path works properly again.

Version 2019-2.7

October 10, 2019

New features

  • Google Drive integration. Now you can access your Drive files directly from within Gravit Designer.
    • First, you need to connect to your Google account. This can be done in the Cloud dialog (File → Open from Cloud… or Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + O), after clicking at the top-left and selecting Connect new Cloud Drive… and then Connect Google Drive.
    • Now you are prompted with a message and clicking on Open additional files (or later on via Open files in the header of the Cloud dialog) lets you open files from your Google Drive. Due to security restrictions, files and folders (and each file in a folder) need to be opened separately and not the entire Google Drive can be accessed. This also includes the containing folder and its parents.
    • When selecting multiple files from your Google Drive, they are added to the Cloud dialog instead of directly opening them (as it happens when selecting just one file). To make it easier finding files, they are shown in Recent files when being in the root folder (“My Cloud”). If you already added the containing folder (and all of its parents) before, the respective folder is directly shown after selecting files.
    • It’s not only possible to access existing files from your Google Drive, but you can also save new files via File → Save to Cloud as… (or Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + S) or existing files from your Gravit Cloud.
    • The options of the Google Drive can be changed with a click on the Settings icon. There it’s possible to rename the Drive or disconnect it.
    • To switch back to your Gravit Cloud drive again, select it in the top-left just like you switched to the Google Drive before.
    • Please take a look at this video to learn more about the Google Drive integration.
  • Added a new Recent files section in the root folder (“My Cloud”) of the Cloud dialog (File → Open from Cloud… or File → Save to Cloud as…), that shows the files you have worked on lately (opened or saved).

Improvements

  • “My Cloud”, the root folder of your Gravit Cloud, is now represented as a real folder in the folders list.
  • Provided a new DMG installer on macOS (instead of the ZIP version), that simplifies adding Gravit Designer to your system.
  • Further improved the performance of the Gravit Cloud.
  • Added a new message informing that it’s not recommended running Gravit Designer on devices with a screen size below 1280 pixels.
  • In the Cloud dialog, files now also show the time when they were saved last and for truncated filenames parts of the filenames’ end is shown. Also, improved the sorting options a bit, in that the “Created” date is shown for the file if this option is selected.
  • When trying to save a file with a filename that already exists, an overwrite warning is shown.

Bugfixes

  • Having multiple elements selected in the Layers panel and hiding some of them doesn’t remove the elements from the selection anymore.
  • Solved various rendering issues.
  • Saving files from other accounts to your own account works properly now.
  • Solved more problems with distributing elements vertically.
  • In the Cloud dialog, the folder that was selected last time is remembered now.

August 12, 2019

New features

  • Support for numbered and bulleted lists:
    • The Advanced Settings of text layers have a new List Type option, that lets you choose between bulleted and numbered lists with various styles.
    • Pressing Enter adds a new list item, Shift + Enter adds a soft break without creating a new list item.
    • Tab indents a list item to the next level, Shift + Tab does the inverse.
    • To change the spacing between list items either use Spacing → Line in the Inspector or Paragraph → Spacing After in the Advanced Settings.
    • Pressing Enter twice at the end of a list item or the Down arrow key closes the list.
    • To change the indentation of a list, use the Paragraph → Indent setting in the Advanced Settings.
    • You can either switch entire text layers to a list or select individual lines/paragraphs.
    • Learn more about lists in this video.
  • After signing up for a new Gravit account you now have two options: You can start the trial of Gravit Designer PRO right away, which lets you try out all PRO features for 15 days. Or you can go into free mode, where no PRO features are available at all, but you can switch to the trial at any time at the bottom-right.

Improvements

  • Significantly improved folder navigation. You are now presented with a list of folders on the left of the Cloud dialog (File → Open from Cloud… or File → Save to Cloud as…) like you know it from your operating system’s file explorer.
    • Folders can be opened with a single-click.
    • Sub-folders can be opened with the arrow in front of the folder name or a double-click.
    • The options of a folder can still be shown by clicking on the “kebab menu” (the three dots on the right of a folder name).
    • For bulk operations (copy, cut, delete), multiple folders can be selected while holding Ctrl/Cmd.
    • The root folder of your Gravit Cloud files is now represented by the My Cloud folder.
    • We have summarized everything you need to know in this video.
  • Multiple improvements when saving a file to the Gravit Cloud:
    • The viewport on the canvas isn’t altered anymore.
    • Similarly, no other settings, like the currently active page, are changed.
    • To prevent confusion, no new file tab is created after saving to the Cloud, but the current file/tab is saved.
    • In the desktop applications, when saving a local file from Save to Local File as…, the actual name from the file tab is used now. The same goes when downloading a file in the Cloud dialog.
  • Removed the option for syncing files to the Gravit Cloud in the Inspector to prevent confusion and moved it to a less prominent place in the File menu: Sync file to Cloud (or Unsync from Cloud when it’s already synced).
    • The date the file was synced last is shown below this new menu entry (Last synced at).
    • Syncing files to the Gravit Cloud is only available for downloaded files, local files (saved in the desktop app) or when they were synced specifically before.
    • Cloud files saved to a local file and downloaded files are synced automatically.
    • In turn, local files need to be synced to the Cloud specifically.
    • Furthermore, fixed a couple of bugs with syncing files.
  • When being offline, a message is now shown for areas that need an online connection, like the Libraries, Web fonts, or the Cloud dialog – clarifying that these features are not available when having no internet connection.
  • Improved Scale font on resizing for text layers: When switching this option on, the bottom-right handle on the text layer changes to orange, indicating that: any changes done with this handle will change the size of the text (instead of the text box) will update the font size in the Inspector. Please see this video.
    • Tip: Hold Shift to change the text layer proportionally.
    • Note: This method doesn’t work for text layers in groups yet, but we are aiming to fix that in an upcoming version.
  • The desktop versions have a File → Quit option now.
  • Improved the syncronization dialog that is shown after opening a downloaded or local file that was changed meanwhile on the Cloud. It has a bigger preview now and indicates which one the latest version is.

Bugfixes

  • Downloading a file includes images again instead of just referencing them.
  • Fixed that the export preview in the Export dialog (File → Advanced Export…) isn’t distorted anymore.
  • The Replace function in the Inspector works correctly again when having an image selected.
  • Fixed a bug that the entire file gets redrawn when just making minor changes.
  • Detaching a Symbol instance doesn’t tag the involved elements as PRO anymore and makes them available again for non-PRO users.
  • Made another attempt to fix the problem that certain images in files were lost after version 2019-2.
  • Cmd + O didn’t work in Safari to open files so we changed it to Alt + Cmd + O for this browser (which also works in other browsers additionally now).
  • Adding effects can be properly undone now.
  • The desktop application is now properly displayed in the dock on Linux.
  • In Multipage mode, dragging with the mouse correctly draws a selection again instead of moving the entire page.
  • Fixed that Gravit Designer is a “trusted application” again on macOS.
  • Updating the desktop version of Gravit Designer should work correctly again. Furthermore, the update notice in the web app will only be shown if there’s actually a new version available.
  • Fixed a couple of issues with Shared styles (proper undo, copy/paste, etc.).
  • The account activation email after signing up for a Gravit account is now sent properly.

Version 2019-2.3

Version 2019-2.1

July 2, 2019

New features

  • By popular demand, we added a number of templates of Print on Demand (POD) services. They include: Amazon Shirt/Pullover, Amazon Popsocket, Teepublic T-Shirt, Cafepress T-Shirt, and Redbubble T-Shirt.
    • These templates are available from Print on Demand in the slightly revised Welcome screen (Help → Show welcome screen), that also combines mobile and tablet devices into the Devices category now.
    • Amazon and Redbubble Shirts come with two different templates, that are available from the Pages panel.
    • Each template includes instructions in a locked layer.
    • To get a better sense of the final appearance, the Outline layer comes with different Shared Styles, that let you preview the shirt’s color. Please note that these colors are just an approximation and that you need to unlock the Delete/Hide layer group to be able to change the style.
    • Furthermore, the Amazon Shirt includes different shirt types. To show them, unlock the Delete/Hide group and show/hide the type you want to preview.
    • For more information about the new Print on Demand templates, please take a look at this video.
  • Share designs. Every design that you have saved to the Gravit Cloud now provides a handy Share button that lets you share it with your peers and stakeholders. Clicking on this button presents you with a dialog with multiple options:
    • Probably the most important element is the URL – which can be conveniently copied with the COPY button.
    • Allow to Save lets you define whether it’s possible to save the design to the account of the person who is seeing your design. This also includes downloading, exporting, and copy/paste.
    • Allow to Inspect on the other hand opens your design in a “view-only” mode. This mode doesn’t let the viewer select the individual layers and hides both the Layers Panel and the Inspector. The page that was selected when saving the design will be shown after opening it. Please note that exporting is still possible when this option is switched off.
    • If you shared a design before and don’t want to do so anymore you can switch it off with the Sharing is On toggle.
    • Even anonymous users can check out your design, no matter if they are not logged in or signed up yet.
    • When opening such a shared design, a note at the bottom shows information about the designer and possible restrictions.
    • To learn more about the new Share functionality, please check out this video.

Improvements

  • Added some missing translations of non-English languages.
  • Keyboard shortcuts now also work in the Cyrillic keyboard layout.
  • Prevented that clicking an element can move it slightly unintentionally.
  • Improved the Help link (?) on the login/signup screen so that it can also be clicked.
  • Unified the file options in the Cloud dialog (File → Open from Cloud… and Save to Cloud…): When clicking on a design, the context-menu (available from the three dots) and the bottom menu now show the same options.

Bugfixes

  • When setting the vertical alignment of a text layer with a defined height to center or bottom, the content doesn’t vanish anymore.
  • Fixed a problem with display errors of text layers under certain circumstances.
  • Fixed that lines don’t show the correct rotation and size in the Inspector.
  • Adding a “Space” character at the beginning of a text layer doesn’t remove its line spacing anymore.
  • Fixed that Safari can be properly changed from the beta to the regular version again.
  • To prevent unintentional movement, elements can’t be moved with the right mouse-button anymore. This also fixes that elements sometimes moved slightly when just clicking on them.

  • Downloading a file from the Cloud dialog works correctly again.

  • When changing the size of polygons and having the Autoscale Corners option switched on, the corners are now correctly resized with the element.

Version 2019-2

June 5, 2019

New features

  • Hallo, Bonjour, もしもし and Merhaba: As already teased (by accident) in the last release, Gravit Designer now comes with these twelve additional languages, available from Help → Language: German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Russian, Chinese simplified, Chinese traditional, Czech, Dutch, Japanese, and Turkish. This makes a total of 14 languages in your favorite design tool.
    • On top of that, the correct language is automatically detected from the browser language, so you should see the correct translation by default.
  • Unsplash photo integration: To give you even more options to work on your projects without needing to leave Gravit Designer, you can now add photos directly from the Unsplash photos category in the Libraries. Either click on a photo to insert it or drag it to the canvas.
    • When having a shape selected on the canvas while clicking on a photo, it gets added as a texture fill.
    • Additionally, when holding Alt it gets masked to the selected shape.
    • Of course you can also search for photos and for some inspiration the dropdown list lets you choose from a range of categories.

Improvements

  • To simplify adding images to your designs, JPEGs and PNGs can now be opened directly from File → Open file… without needing to use File → Import → Place.
  • Generally improved PDF import.
  • Multiple improvements to duplicating pages in Multipage Mode:
    • Duplicating with Ctrl/Cmd + D places the page after the last page, not in between other pages.
    • Duplicating with Alt-dragging or moving it places the page exactly where dragging stops.
    • A subsequent number now gets added to the name of the duplicated page (MyPage → MyPage 1). If duplicating a page that already has a number in the name, “.1” is added (MyPage 1 → MyPage 1.1).
    • The bounding box of subsequent pages is now correctly respected.
    • Hovering over pages now shows a selection box to clarify what will be selected when clicking (unrelated to duplicating).
  • The interface font of Gravit Designer now includes Cyrillic characters.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed some last bugs for printing.
  • Window functions (Minimize, Restore Down and Close) work correctly again in the Windows desktop version.
  • Pages that have a Master Page assigned show the content outside of the page’s boundaries correctly.
  • Solved a problem that JPEGs were exported with wrong header information.

Version 2019-1.7

May 8, 2019

New features

In addition, we also included many other non-Latin characters sets, including Japanese, Chinese, Bengali or Georgian, to name a few.
But we didn’t stop there: The Cloud dialog received a massive overhaul with some new functionality and we have some new controls for text layers in the Inspector, including some advanced options like subscript, fractions, and paragraph spacing.

Version 3.4

Jul. 09, 2018

We are back with the first big release of Gravit Designer after the acquisition by Corel, and it features massive improvements to exporting, mainly for SVG and PDF files. But we also have a bunch of other goodies for you. Please download Gravit Designer 3.4 here. Have got questions or found some issues (or just want to congratulate on the awesome release)? Please visit our forum.

Improvements

  • Improvements to SVG export:
    • All layers names are exported as IDs now. This can be switched off in the export dialog (“Retain attributes and add IDs”).
    • The class and type of imported SVGs are now retained when exporting as an SVG. Can also be switched off from the same option as above.
    • Added a new option “Preserve editing capabilities for SVG files” in the Export dialog. When switched on, it ensures that SVGs can be properly re-imported into Gravit Designer.
    • Ellipses and circles are now created with the appropriate and tags when exported as an SVG.
    • Showing a warning message when trying to export an SVG with unsupported effects/features.
    • Enhanced the importing of SVGs considerably, including shadows, gradients and borders. This also includes improvements to the exporting capabilities.
    • The extended area caused by certain effects (blur for example) is now considered when exporting.
  • Improvements to PDF export:
    • Massively improved exporting of PDFs at high resolutions (150 and 300 dpi). The exporting process can now be canceled at any time and in case a file can’t be exported at all (if the dimensions are too large), a message is shown.
    • Drop shadows and inner shadows are now exported with the best possible quality in PDFs.
  • Optimized duplicate and copy/paste behavior.
    • Replaced clone tool with duplicate ( Ctrl/⌘ + D) and enabled smart duplicate, also for Alt-drag and groups.
    • Improved Paste in Place, in that it pastes content at the top-left of the currently selected element (shortcut ⇧ + Ctrl/⌘ + V).
    • Improved Paste inside Selection, which still clips content to the selected shape, but also pastes it at the top-left corner (new shortcut ⇧ + Ctrl/⌘ + Alt + V).
    • Added a new “Paste” sub menu in Edit in the menu bar.
    • Added a new right-click Paste Here option, that pastes content exactly at the position of the mouse cursor.
    • Added a new right-click Paste Style option, to make it more discoverable. As a reminder, the styling of an element can be copied with Ctrl/⌘ + C.
    • Content pasted onto an infinite canvas is always placed at the center of the viewport.
    • Alt-dragging now also works in the Layers panel.
  • Massive improvements to the workings of compound shapes ( Merge), including shapes with holes, compound operations involving shapes that touch each other at the edges, and compound paths intersecting multiple times in one place. Also optimized speed and performance.
  • Renamed Shading tool to Freehand shaping for more clarity and improved it, especially when holes are involved. Also, drawing a counter-clockwise shape now removes it from the original shape, drawing a clockwise non-intersecting shape adds it. Please see this video: https://cl.ly/2F2r361T3G2o. Tip: Be sure that the shape has a border applied for the Freehand shaping tool to work correctly.
  • Improved saving, to prevent loss of progress when saving fails. Also, it’s now ensured that files have finished saving when closing the application.
  • Opening a panel in the Inspector (color picker for example) now dims the background for more visibility. This also simplifies closing panels. Please see https://cl.ly/472j3U1o343Y.
  • The background color can now be set for pages with an infinite canvas.
  • All file formats allow to set the background color now in the Export dialog ( File → Export → Export…)
  • Improved Light and Dark themes with additional icons in the toolbar, to make these functions more discoverable. Furthermore, you can now change between the new left-aligned icons and the former grouped appearance of the icons in the Settings.
  • Brought entire signup/login workflow as well as the user settings to Gravit Designer. No popups or external pages anymore.
  • New elements are now added on the correct position of the hierarchy in the Layers Panel, for example when adding a rectangle shape.
  • Removed all inappropriate graphics from the Libraries, to make them suitable to a wider audience.
  • Improved display of images clipped to text layers.
  • Optimized “pinch to zoom” on Mac trackpads.
  • Paths now also have proper handles to resize and rotate.
  • Improved importing of EPS files with text layers.
  • The Knife tool now also works on compound paths.
  • Renamed Shading tool to Freehand Shaping for more clarity.

  • Fixed that slices are smaller when being exported.
  • Vertical and horizontal paths (or lines) can now be rotated and flipped properly.
  • Ensured that SVGs are opened with the correct dimensions.

  • Fixed rounding off anchor points with the right mouse button for shapes converted to a path.
  • Switching between different types of anchor points now works correctly.
