BrandBird UI Revamp ๐Ÿš€

Iโ€™m very excited to introduce you to the brand new BrandBird editor UI!

The main reasons behind the radical design update are:

  • Enhance the user experience
  • Speed up future development time
  • Prepare the ground for two new features ๐Ÿ‘€

Letโ€™s dive in!

๐Ÿ‘‹ย Say hi to the new sidebar

You can choose the sidebar section without having to scroll down the entire section - letโ€™s be honest it was really annoying!๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Now you can see one section at a time, and focus more on your graphic creation process!

Plus, you can quickly add an annotation layer by simply hitting the blue โ€œPlusโ€ button at the bottom of the sidebar.

Add mooore images ๐ŸŽ‰

You request it! We provide it!

Adding more than one image on your canvas was the most requested feature. Now you can add up to 4 images to your creation.

To make your life easier and save you some time the border, shadow, mockup, and 3D effect options apply to all your images automatically.

โšก
New shortcuts! Cmd+V to change the main image, Cmd+Shift+V to add extra images. If youโ€™re on Windows use the Ctrl button instead of Cmd

Layouts are here ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Another exciting feature is Layouts!

The layout option is available only when you add more than 1 image to your canvas. Essentially, it allows you to arrange the images on a predefined layout.

๐Ÿ‘‰ย Submit your layout ideas here!

Undo, redo functionality

Speed up your flow, and avoid frustration (!!!), with our undo and redo buttons. They come with two new shortcuts Cmd+Z for undo and Cmd+Shift+Z for redo.

If youโ€™re on Windows use the Ctrl button instead of Cmd

Export panel changes position

Be careful! ๐Ÿšจ

The export panel is located at the top right corner of the screen now! It felt more natural to place it there.

Of course, all the export shortcuts for exporting your image are still working nicely!

โšก
Cmd+C to copy to your clipboard and Cmd+B to download as PNG. If youโ€™re on Windows use the Ctrl button instead of Cmd
ย 

Thatโ€™s all for now. Stay tuned for more ๐Ÿ”ฅ features in the future!

I don't know when it happened but Brandbird is now my all-in-one SaaS & social media design tool.
