1 August 2026

v2026.06.27.1 - Clearer tool pages and export information
27 June 2026
- Updated public copy across the Music Visualizer pages so free 720p, watermarked test exports, and paid clean HD/4K exports are easier to understand.
- Refreshed the How to Use, Pricing, Private Workflow, and Spotify Canvas pages with clearer descriptions of the browser workflow.
- Cleaned up the Tools Hub so it works more like a simple tool chooser instead of a long feature list.
- Kept old YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram resizer links pointing to the main Image Resizer, where the social presets now live.
