We are happy to release the Click-and-Display interaction feature with our graphic elements!

Aside from the existing Drag-and-Drop interaction, the Click-and-Display feature is an additional option on how you want to select and display a graphic element into your canvas.

By clicking a graphic element from a panel, the selected graphic will be displayed to your canvas. This feature is available to Templates, Objects, Backgrounds, Texts, Charts, Media (Unsplash Photos & Upload Photos) and Pictogram.

We have also removed the fade-effect when displaying a selected graphic element to canvas.

Note that the drag-and-drop interface with graphic elements are still available for use.

Our new Text Spacing Feature is up starting today!

This great feature allows you to apply spacing in between texts, horizontally and vertically.

While a text box is selected in your canvas, click the Text Spacing icon and use the slider interface to apply the text spacing feature.

Letter Spacing adds horizontal gaps between texts while Line Height increases vertical spacing in between text lines.

Click Reset to revert the texts space settings to its default state.

This feature is available to Free and Pro accounts!

The Percent Sign (%) is now placed after a number on charts label. 🙌

We have fixed the saving order of canvas in My Visuals dashboard.

In this fix, your canvas will be saved as the latest thumbnail in My Visuals, when:

• A new canvas is created and saved
• An existing canvas is edited and saved
• An existing canvas is copied through the copy tool in My Visuals

We have applied couple of fixes to various Charts in Easelly app.

• Fixed spacing and placement issues of legends and labels on low quality, high quality and PDF download
• Corrected icons of legends on low quality, high quality and PDF download
• Resolved positions of legends and labels of charts in Easelly designer app
• Fixed visibility of X and Y lines in charts
• Fixed colors of labels to make them more visible
• Resolved missing information in Y axis line

Fixes were applied to Bar, Column, Radar, Polar, Doughnut, Line, Stacked, Error, Area, Scatter and Bubble charts.

The Undo and Redo tools for Color Picker feature have been fixed!

You can now see the correct color history of your elements based on previously selected colors by clicking the Undo tool. Likewise, ticking the Redo tool will reverse your last undo action.

As an alternative, you may use your keyboard keys to apply the Redo and Undo commands on color picker.

This fix has been applied to elements that allow color editing such as Background, Objects (One-Tone), Text, Line and Pictogram.

When you lock elements and use keyboard arrow keys such as arrow up, down, left and right, elements remain locked or not movable.

We have added handling of arrow key events to stop moving locked object.

When you are editing objects, images, lines, graphics and pictograms, not applicable tools are not visible anymore in the toolbar.

This gives you a better view of the tools that you can use while editing those non-text graphic elements.

We have fixed the Lock feature bug! 🙌

When you Lock objects, images, texts, charts or any elements in your canvas, those graphics are still not editable or movable even you close and open your artwork.
