• New: light theme, plus an in-app appearance picker • New: canvas size toggle so you always see the exact output dimensions • Watermark now has its own text color • Fixed: crop presets no longer compound when applied one after another • Fixed: the resize preview now matches the exported result • Fixed: full-resolution clipboard copy quality; Paste is disabled when there is no image

Fixed crop aspect ratios: each ratio now always crops from the original image, so switching between ratios no longer stacks crops. "Original" restores the uncropped image. Fixed resize preview: small target sizes (e.g. 10×20) that previously looked garbled now render cleanly at the correct aspect. New option: "Shrink preview to match size" — when enabled, the canvas image scales down to reflect the target size.

A completely redesigned editor. HootShot rebuilds the entire editing experience from the ground up — faster, cleaner and more powerful — while keeping everything 100% on your Mac. NEW EDITOR A redesigned canvas with a focused tool rail, live preview and a calm dark interface. Every adjustment updates instantly. FRAMES & BACKGROUNDS Wrap any screenshot in beautiful gradient backgrounds with adjustable padding, corner radius and shadow — perfect for social posts and docs. 20 FILTERS + PRO ADJUSTMENTS A new Looks panel with 20 one-tap filters, plus 14 real-time sliders: exposure, contrast, vibrance, temperature, highlights, shadows and color balance — with one-click Auto-Enhance. AUTO-REDACT — ON DEVICE Hide sensitive data in one tap. Emails, API keys, tokens, credit cards and faces are detected and blurred locally with Vision. Nothing is ever sent to a server. RETOUCH BRUSH New Smudge and local Sharpen brushes for hand-tuned touch-ups. WATERMARK Add a text watermark with custom color, position, size and opacity — now built right into the editor with live preview. MARKUP & TEXT Arrows, boxes, highlights, blur, auto-numbered steps and editable text labels. SMART RESIZE & PRESETS Resize to exact dimensions or one-tap device presets — iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, Vision Pro, social and web. Smart Crop uses Vision saliency to keep your subject in frame. Star favorites and batch-export them all at once. APP ICON GENERATOR Drop a 1024×1024 image and export a complete iOS + macOS app-icon set. EXPORT PNG, JPEG, HEIC and TIFF, with PNG optimization and 1×–3× export scale. Fixes & improvements • Copied images now keep full resolution when pasted into Gmail, WhatsApp and other apps. • Paste is disabled on the start screen when the clipboard has no image. • Performance and stability improvements. Private by design. Everything runs on your Mac — nothing is ever uploaded.

Now works on macOS Sonoma (14) and Sequoia (15) supports many more Macs. Major memory improvement editing stays smooth even after lots of changes.

Fixed copy paste resolution problem.
