This week’s update brings better multiboard preview, transfer section for brushes and new font support for our Korean creators.

Browsing high resolution canvases on Multiboard

If you’ve ever visited a multiboard filled with high-resolution artworks, you might have noticed that they looked a bit blurry when zooming in — and you had to double-click each canvas to connect and see it in full quality.

Now, canvases display in full resolution right away when you zoom in, no extra clicks needed. Just zoom into a canvas and wait a few seconds to see a high resolution version.

On desktop, this works for all canvases.

On mobile, full-quality zoom works automatically for canvases that are offline with no people currently drawing, but for online canvases, you’ll still need to connect to view them in high resolution.

Korean fonts in Text Tool

To make it easier to create text in Korean, we’ve added two fonts — Paperlogy and Syongsyong — now fully supported in the Text Tool.

Transfer section in Advanced Brushes modal

We’ve added a new Transfer section in the advanced brush settings — bringing Flow, Opacity, Paint, and Stretch controls together in one place.

Please note that some settings may be disabled depending on which tool is selected — for example, there is no Opacity property for Blend Tool, and no Stretch or Paint properties in regular Brush tool.


Bug Fixes

As usual, our engineering team is working hard to fix any bugs and issues found on the platform. This week we:

  • Fixed blocking users on multiboard (it was not possible to permanently kick and block users from multiboard)

  • Fixed large participant lists not displaying correctly (for canvases and jams with a lot of participants button with users has not been styled correctly)

  • Fixed background color selection when creating new drawings (on some screens it was not possible to choose colors from the bottom of the list as they were cut off by the edge of the modal)

As always, let us know what you think — feel free to send us your Feature Requests, reach out to us on Discord or send us a message.
