We're making an
important update to how strokes (outlines) behave on curved text
. Until now, applying a stroke visually increased the spacing between characters, which led to several issues:π€
Current Issues:
- Stroke made curved text look more spaced out than expected.
- Discrepancy between print file and preview due to differences in how stroke was rendered.
- Users often had to apply negative tracking to visually correct the spacing.
π§ͺ
Whatβs Changing:
- Stroke on curved text will no longer visually increase character spacing.
- Print file and preview will no longer present differences in character spacing.
- No need to use negative tracking as a workaround.
- β οΈ Important: Weβre removing the negative tracking previously used for compensation. This may affect how some texts appear.
π
Schedule
: We will release this change on Monday, May 13th

ou now have more control over how customers personalize text on your products!
Instead of letting text move freely across the entire canvas, in your Templates
you can define a specific area where the custom text can be adjusted
π¨π±οΈ.β¨
How it works:
- π Set a bounding box β Define the exact area on the canvas where the text can be moved and resized.
- π― Control initial position and size β Choose where the text starts and how big it is by default.
- π« Prevent undesired personalization β Make sure text stays within the intended design area, avoiding overlaps or awkward placements.
- 𧩠Improve design consistency β Keep the final product looking just the way you intended.
- π οΈ More polished experiences β Let customers personalize freely within limits that protect your layout.
π
Note: Currently available only in Templates. Coming soon to My Designs.
Weβre excited to introduce
Text as Mask
! This feature allows you to set up custom text as a mask
, so the image layer beneath it takes the shape of the text
. Itβs perfect for creating stunning, personalized designs where the text itself becomes a unique canvas for your image.π§ How it works:
- Set up your custom text as 'Use as Mask' in the Advanced props.
- The image layer beneath the text is masked to fit within the text outline, creating a seamless, one-of-a-kind design!
- It works for both Dynamic Images and Image Uploads.
β¨ Great for:
- π Personalized gifts with images inside names, dates, or quotes.
- π Standout designs for apparel, mugs, and home decor.
- π Creative product previews that will truly wow your customers!

Give it a try and see the difference. ππΌοΈβ¨
Check out the sample below:
By default, Customily uses our own Spotify API credentials to power the Spotify player in the Design Studio β so everything works even if those fields are empty in your account.
However, during periods of high traffic (when lots of customers are searching for songs), Spotify may temporarily block our keys. This can cause the player to stop working.
π οΈ Now there's a fix β
you can add your own Spotify credentials!
If you notice the player isnβt working (for example, you type a song and see a βToo many requestsβ error), you can switch to using your own credentials to avoid rate limits.
To do that, just go to Account β Integrations and enter your Spotify API keys.
