• Cloud sync fix — resolved an issue where editing a design synced through a cloud folder (Dropbox/iCloud) could create duplicate "conflicted copy" files. Your work now saves cleanly across your Mac and iPad. • Refined iPad layout — a more compact, readable Layers list; a tidier Library where every control fits; and a roomier top bar. • Stability improvements.

• Syncing reliability — the app now always shows your true sync status and prompts you to sign back in if you're ever signed out, so your work keeps syncing.

• Signatures, right where you need them — place any motif you've marked as a signature straight from the Canvas tab, under your color key. No trip to the Library. • Resize by any amount — scale a design to an exact percentage (5–400%), not just the fixed presets. • Center-bottom signatures — a new Lower center placement, with the same clean margin options as the corners. • Smoother MacStitch imports — encrypted or stacked .chart files now guide you to the OXS workaround instead of failing quietly, and multi-panel charts import in full. • Color accuracy — corrected the Silk & Ivory "Plum" swatch. • Clearer Help & FAQ, plus polish throughout.

• Reorder your palette — drag threads into any order, and your stamped color key prints in that order. • Smarter photo import — art comes in at its true finished size, keeps its proportions, and drops transparent areas out (with a typeable width). • Fixes & polish — custom colors stay exact on reopen, locked layers are fully protected, rotating a selection no longer disturbs nearby stitches, blank canvases no longer save themselves, plus trackpad pan & pinch-to-zoom.

• Lock a layer — protect finished work so a stray tap can't move, paint over, or erase it. • Size in inches or cm — start or resize a canvas in real measurements, not just stitches (both are always shown). • Rotate & flip a selection in place — turn or mirror part of your design right where it sits, without disturbing the stitches around it. • Place a signature in a corner — drop it a precise ½", ¾", or 1" from the edge, on its own layer. Plus: match a whole palette to one brand in a tap, open Stitchly charts, trackpad pan & pinch-to-zoom, and polish throughout.

• Signatures — mark a motif as a signature: it goes on its own layer and stays out of the color key and your finished-design size. • New Custom color tab — pick from a color spectrum or enter an exact HEX / RGB value, with a "closest real thread" suggestion. • Eyedropper now matches a photo color to This brand, Any brand, or the Exact color — and any custom color can snap to the nearest real thread. • See your finished-design size alongside the full canvas size. • Redeem a code in the app, faster syncing, clearer Help, and polish throughout.

• Print at true finished size — PDF and JPEG now print your chart at its real dimensions, so you can lay the canvas right over the printout and paint your sample. (Print at 100% / Actual size.) • Real-size tiled PDF — charts too big for one page print across tiles you tape together into a full-size template. • Clearer export options that tell you exactly what you'll get for your canvas size.

• Painted Canvas view — preview your design on a realistic hand-painted, woven canvas. Switch Block / Canvas / Stitch from the View menu. • Curved text — a new Curve slider arcs lettering into a clean, readable arch. Made for names and monograms. • Export any view as an image — Block, Canvas, or Stitch. • Refinements — canvases open centered, switching tabs keeps your place, plus polish throughout.

Export charts of any size: a multi-page PDF (overview + readable, labeled tiles) or one large sheet for kit printing — with a heads-up before a chart tiles. Plus: symbols now show reliably on large charts.

New in this update: • Bring in a reference photo as its own layer — move, scale, and rotate it under your grid. Saved with your canvas, never in exports. • Eyedropper now matches colors straight from a reference photo to the nearest thread, within your brand or across all of them. • Set per-layer opacity while you work (exports stay at full strength), and rotate any layer 45° for diagonals and lettering. • Reorder your left-hand tools in Settings, cleaner two-finger pan and zoom on iPad, and Undo/Redo now within easy reach. Plus fixes and polish throughout.

Even, reliable layer centering. Smoother launch. Send charts to painting & printing services with paired OXS + PNG export. Plus fixes and polish.

Bring your work in, and send it anywhere. Open Open Cross Stitch (.oxs) files from other charting software, right in Needlepoint Studio. Export your charts as .oxs to send to painting services, or any software that reads OXS. Export a finished-size JPEG of your design, ready to print or share. .oxs files now preview your actual design in Finder, so you can spot the right chart at a glance. Plus stability and polish throughout.

Smoother on the desktop, and better with your existing charts. • Improved MacStitch & WinStitch (.chart) import — larger charts now come in complete. • Refined the Mac experience — smoother motif placement, cleaner window resizing, and more reliable Save, Export, and Open dialogs. • New canvases started from a template now use the template's name. • Fixes and refinements throughout.

Design on every device, in sync. • Folder sync (new): Save your designs into an iCloud Drive or Dropbox folder and keep them in sync across your iPad, Mac, and the web app — just point each device at the same folder. Your work stays in your own cloud; the app hosts nothing. • More reliable syncing: Designs made on another device now appear on their own, and duplicate copies clean themselves up. • Fixes and refinements throughout.

Try before you subscribe — now you can design a full canvas with every tool, free, before you decide. We've also made your first launch smoother, kept sign-in steady on slower connections, and added a helpful nudge when you start drawing. Thanks for stitching with us.
