What changed in Snipbook, newest releases first

You always run the latest version. Snipbook updates in the background, whether you installed it or use it in a browser.

7 September 2026

Groups. Several elements can be grouped together hierarchically.
Freehand crop. Cut out any shape out of a photo.
15 more fonts. 45 families in total, including Roboto, Roboto Slab, Schoolbell, Short Stack and League Script; Neucha is replaced by Playpen Sans, which also has a real bold.

Shades. Every element may cast a customizable shadow.
Blur. Shapes can be turned into coloured glass, blurring what's under them.
Stroke smoothing. Pen strokes come out as curves rather than shaky lines, with adjustable smoothing degree.

Photo cropping. Photos can be cropped to a shape: circle, square, star, blob, or a jagged star.
Multi-selection. Add a Select tool to sweep multiple elements, then move, scale, or rotate them together.
Pocket tabs. The pocket tray is split into tabs, and photos can be uploaded straight into it.
Templates. A template from the Pocket lands fitted to the page.
PDF export fixes. Exported text is drawn the way the canvas draws it, with multi-language support.

Fonts picker. Fix font picker so it's usable on mobile.
Sticky Pen. The Pen stays selected after a stroke, allowing freehand drawing.
Popover fixes. Panels move out of the way when the on-screen keyboard resizes the view.

Diary export. A diary can be exported to a file and imported back on another device.
Drag and drop. Photos can be dropped onto a page from the desktop.
Hugging text. The text box fits its text instead of starting at a fixed width, reset after resizing by double-clicking the edge.

Simpler urls. The address bar stays clean while a diary is open.
Better dragging. A selected element can be dragged even if something covers it.

Pre-filled pocket. A new install comes with a few stickers already in the pocket.
Home screen. Snipbook opens on a special home screen.

Square corners. The page is drawn with square corners instead of rounded.
Store layout. The Store sizes tiles per category — large for backgrounds and templates, small for stickers.

8 more fonts. 31 families in total.
Font picker. Families sit under group dividers and step with the arrow keys.

Subcategories. Store categories split into rows you can scroll individually.

Snipbook went live at snipbook.app with:

The canvas. Photos, text, rectangles, ellipses, lines, arrows, and freehand drawing on an open page.
Text. Four bundled fonts, bold, italic, underline, alignment, and colour.
Element controls. Move, scale, rotate, reorder, duplicate, lock, and fade anything, with unlimited undo and redo.
Snapping. Alignment guides, equal spacing, and 15° rotation detents, all bypassed by holding Alt.
Diaries. Many pages per diary: add, duplicate, delete, reorder, rename, and step between them in the editor.
Page formats. Nine formats, chosen per page, A4 in both orientations included.
Local storage. Everything saves to your own device as you work, and nothing is uploaded.
Export. A page as a picture or a PDF, a whole diary as one PDF.
The Store. A library of stickers and backgrounds you collect into a pocket and place later.
Offline use. Installable as an app, and usable without a connection apart from the Store.
