  • What’s new this week

    • Faster design generation: Designs now generate noticeably faster, so you spend less time waiting and more time editing.
    • Resize text boxes from the sides: Text boxes now have drag handles on the left and right edges. Drag them to set the width and control where your text wraps, so a headline can sit on one line, two, or three.
    • Reorder layers with a right click: Right-click any element and choose Bring to front or Send to back to move it in front of or behind other elements in your design.
    October 9, 2026
  • More manual editing functionality

    • Double-click on a text box to change the text.
    • Change the color and the transparency level of any shape or decoration.
    • Right-click on any element to copy, duplicate or delete it.

  • Format text when manually editing a design

    Every graphic design platform that respects itself should allow full design editability. Not every small change should cost you money or credits! And sometimes it's just easier to drag an object a little to the left.

    In this latest update, Grafista allows you to format text using the new toolbar on top of the design, visible when you select any text element. Change the font family, the font size or the color of any text on your design.

    September 16, 2026
  • New keyboard shortcuts

    We’ve added new keyboard shortcuts and functionality to make editing designs easier:

    • Hold Command/Control + drag to move around the canvas.
    • Hold Command/Control while selecting elements to select and move multiple elements simultaneously.
    • Hold Command/Control + scroll to zoom in and out of the canvas.
    August 21, 2026
  • More controls when editing designs manually

    - Delete elements: Users can now manually delete content from generated designs. Previously, content could only be edited through our AI assistant.

    - Improved group editing: Select multiple elements to move them simultaneously holding command/control.

  • We've simplified the design generation flow

    Creating marketing material isn't always easy. There are all sorts of scenarios to handle:

    • Sometimes you need a presentation built from text in a Word file
    • Sometimes you need an Instagram post with your text and 3 images
    • Sometimes you need to generate the text first, then build the design

    Your design tool should handle all of these with the same ease and that's exactly what our Guided Flow delivers. Find it via the Create with AI button in the dashboard.

  • Meet URL Import: Build your Brand Kit in seconds

  • Meet Brand Kits: Consistent branding on every design

    Creating a consistent brand image across all your designs, no matter who from your team creates them, has always been a challenge. Brand Kits are here to make this way easier.

    With Brand Kits, organizations can save time when generating designs and ensure that all of the designs created by the team adhere to the brand guidelines.

  • Meet Blueprints: The end of template editing

    A Blueprint isn't a file you edit like traditional templates. It's a style based on a design someone else has created.

    When you pick a Blueprint, Correctify looks at what makes that design work: how the elements are composed, the typography, the color palette, the spacing, the overall visual rhythm. Then it builds a brand new design from scratch, in that same style, using your content.

    July 14, 2026
