BrandBird May 2022 Updates

In May, BrandBird introduced many major (and even more, smaller) handy features that can ease your design workflow.

In a nutshell, the core features are:

→ Unsplash integration for images

→ Pixelate sensitive information

→ Export with transparent background

→ Chrome Extension beta (!!!)

But let's have a deeper look together!

🌅 Unsplash Integration & Image Layers

You can search & use free Unsplash images for your graphics. Add them either as a background image or **drumrolls** an image annotation layer.

Yes! Now, BrandBird supports image layers for annotation.

💡
Search for terms like "background""black/white gradient" to find great images for your background.

🕶️Pixelate sensitive data

Easily hide your sensitive information with the new pixelate feature.

Its main benefit is that it's not reversible so it's more secure than the default blur option.

🔍Transparent Background

Now you can completely remove the background of your graphics with a single click.

Really useful when you want to:

→ Use the image as overlays above other graphics

→ Import the image to other design tools, like Figma

→ Create transparent landing page graphics

🖱️Drag-n-Drop images

Flawless image import process. Simply drag them inside the editor and drop them at the image you want to replace.

🔥Brand new Chrome Extension (Beta)

The BrandBird Chrome extension is getting a major update.

It's still in beta but already includes many new handy options:

→ Capture visible tab

→ Extract elements from the page

→ Highlight a specific element

→ Create OG images for a page

Excited to share the beta version with anyone interested to check it. Please, send me an email and I’ll share the installation instructions.


That’s all for now! Talk soon!

I don't know when it happened but Brandbird is now my all-in-one SaaS & social media design tool.
