Remove Background's Best quality is now free to try. Anyone can pick Best and preview the sharper, hair-and-fur-accurate cutout on their own photos before deciding to buy; saving a Best result is what needs Pro. Save cutouts and erases for free, three a day. Remove Background's Standard cutouts and Object Eraser results can now be saved on the free plan, drawing from the same shared daily limit as the other free tools. Object Eraser previously could not save at all without Pro. Two of Voice Clone's lightweight preset voices sounded identical on Macs using the lightest voice mode. They are now clearly different voices. Anonymous usage statistics. The app now keeps simple anonymous counts, launches, tool runs, and upgrade-screen views, tied to no account and never used to train AI or for advertising. On by default, and you can turn it off anytime in Settings under General. The complete list of what is counted, and why, is at toolmatic.app/privacy. The review request is politer. Choosing Ask Me Later brings it back after a few more finished jobs, when you are actually around, instead of on a timer. Answering No now offers a way to email us what went wrong.

GIF Maker grew an Edit Frames tab. Open any GIF or WebP as a frame strip: drag to reorder, delete or duplicate frames, and set the timing for one frame or the whole animation. Drop several files at once and they load as one strip, in order. Pick a frame delay instead of a frame rate. Both GIF Maker tabs now ask how long each frame stays on screen, which is how GIFs actually work. Video to GIF re-processes GIFs. Drop an existing GIF to change its speed, size, or looping. Trim video with frame accuracy. The trim handles are slimmer, the timeline zooms in far enough to cut a single frame, the preview follows the handle while you drag, and the export lands exactly on the frames you chose. Once you have a selection, drag anywhere inside it to slide the whole range along the timeline without changing its length. Audio trims are now precise to a hundredth of a second. Trim opens MKV, WebM, AVI, and every other format Convert supports. The editor prepares a playable preview automatically, and your original file is what gets cut. Cropping is far easier to aim. Grab any edge anywhere along its length instead of only near the middle, pull a corner past the opposite side without the selection jumping away, and crop down as small as you like. Each file you open starts with the whole frame selected. Your files are never replaced. When a result would land on a name that already exists, it saves alongside it as a copy instead of overwriting what was there. Every tool fits on screen. Once files are loaded, a tool splits into Files and Settings tabs, and long file lists scroll in place instead of pushing the Run button out of reach. Every launch starts clean. Text you typed and options you picked are cleared when you quit. Remove Background previews on its own. Drop an image and the cutout appears without pressing anything, and picking a different quality re-renders it. The button is now just for saving. Remove Background adds a Best quality: a far more detailed cutout that keeps flyaway hair, fur, and fine edges the standard cutout misses. Best runs on a 1 GB model you download once and can remove at any time, and the quality picker is now simply Standard and Best. Fixed: very long file names could push a row's remove button out of view, switching between queued images while cropping could leave the previous photo on screen, removing a finished job from the list could close the file you were still working on, clearing a tag lookup in Metadata could remove the file instead of just the result, a few labels that stayed in English are now translated, embedding subtitles as a separate track could produce a file with no subtitles in it, Speed with pitch preservation turned off ran faster and higher-pitched than the chosen speed on many songs, and a network hiccup at launch could briefly make an active subscription look expired.

Search your tools. A search box now sits at the top of the sidebar: type a few letters and matching tools appear from every category, press Return to open the first one. Favorites. Point at any tool in the sidebar and a star appears on the right; click it and the tool joins a yellow Favorites group at the top of the category list. Your picks stay put across launches, and one click shows them all together. The free plan now shows where you stand. Voice and mastering tools display how many free previews you have left today from the moment you load a file, and the upgrade notice takes each tool's own color. Voice and mastering tools now save to OGG out of the box, a format every plan can export. Voice Clone starts clean. Some voices opened a render with a tap, a click, or a few garbled words before settling in. Every built-in voice now begins exactly where your text does. Error messages are shorter and tell you what to do next.

Toolmatic now speaks 50 languages, up from 33. Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Slovenian, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu are new. British, Australian, and Canadian English, Mexican Spanish, Canadian French, and European Portuguese now get their own wording instead of borrowing from a neighbour. Saved voice and mastering profiles: choose an icon from every symbol macOS offers rather than a short list, and search by meaning. Type "loud" and the speaker and megaphone icons come up even though neither is named that. Preview a saved voice in your own words. Type the sentence you want to hear, the profile speaks it in the cloned voice, and that preview travels with the profile when you share it. The window now opens to fit your display the first time you launch, instead of a fixed small size. Compress PDF: your text stays text. Pages are no longer flattened into images, so the result stays selectable and searchable. Only the embedded images are shrunk, and the result is never larger than the file you started with. Merge PDFs: no longer inflates the result. Fonts shared by the files you combine were stored once per file, which could nearly double the size. A 42-page document that came out at 3.5 MB now comes out at 2.1 MB, with every page and all its text intact. Batch runs: clearing finished rows no longer cancels the job that is still running. Subscriptions now work with Family Sharing, and if yours lapsed the purchase screen offers to renew it instead of treating you as new. Dismissing the rating request now keeps it away. Not in this version while they get more work: Audiobook Maker, Colorize, Move to Trash.

See how long every job will take: all tools now show a live progress bar with percent and time remaining. It stays visible above the main button while work runs, and big file loads, previews, and renders show real progress too. Audiobook ready: every audio tool now opens M4B audiobooks directly. Trim, convert, master, or transcribe them, and chapters, cover art, and details ride along. Copy-protected audiobooks are detected up front with a clear message. "Original" now truly means original: outputs keep their container and extension (an m4b stays an m4b), plus every tag, cover image, and chapter. Images keep their camera details through Resize, Crop, Rotate, Watermark, and Convert. PDF tools keep the document title and author. Lossless audio stays lossless, and video edit tools keep the original container. Cover art survives every change: artwork embedded in your audio and video files is preserved through every tool. Waveform editing on long files: hour-plus recordings load with a percent progress bar, and the timeline labels stay readable instead of piling up. Resize your way: pick the scaling method for images, and video resizing is sharper. AI Mastering: output level stays safely below clipping, and tweaking a slider during a preview no longer flashes an error. Intensity starts at 50. Voice Clone and Voice Cleanup: cloning intensity starts at 100, cleanup gets stronger at high intensity, and both tools open on your Library after a restart. Audio to Text: Copy Text puts the finished transcript straight on your clipboard, and the copy button on completed files always works. Keyboard shortcuts: press Space to play or pause any preview, and Esc to stop a run. Plus a refreshed Home screen and many fixes, in all 33 languages.

Trim: new timeline zoom for long files. Drag the round handles under the strip to zoom in, drag the middle to pan, and set trim points with 0.1 second precision even on hour-long videos and audio. Voice Clone: emotion takes. Save several takes of a voice, each with its own emotion, and switch between them when you render. New info circles explain every setting, and the app remembers your last model choice. Convert: video conversions now match the source bitrate instead of a fixed one, and audio and image exports use the highest quality settings. Normalize: rebuilt to studio standards. Your audio is analyzed first, then normalized in a single pass, so it never clips. New Sound FX preset joins Music and Podcast. Waveforms: every audio waveform is redrawn with pro-editor detail. Audio to Text now shows real progress while it works, and direct downloads report exact progress. Every quality setting now defaults to the best option your Mac can run. Fixed: a Voice Cleanup file could get stuck near the end after changing settings while adding more files. The upgrade pill no longer flashes at launch for paying users. Free plan: Audio to Text, Video Caption, and Remove Background now share the free daily file limit. Pro and Max are unaffected. Voice Cleanup: no more big one-time download. Cleanup starts the moment you drop a file, runs much faster, and quiet recordings come through clearly. Under the hood: speech recognition now runs on the newest version of its engine, and the third-party acknowledgements are up to date.

Fixed: Voice Cleanup now saves your results correctly with Max Lite. Faster: GIF Maker previews load quicker, and trimming and cropping feel smoother. Improved translations across the app.
