June Updates: New Personalization Features in Customily

June focused on giving merchants even more flexibility when building personalized products. We introduced Groups for Layers and Layouts, making it easier to organize complex designs and manage related elements in the Design Studio. We also enhanced one of our newest styling tools with the ability to add blur to text shadows, creating softer, more dynamic text effects. Together, these updates help you design faster while unlocking even more creative possibilities.

Let’s dive into what’s new! 🚀

Groups for Layers and Layouts 🔥

We've added Groups, a new way to organize your templates. Select multiple layers and group them to move, copy, duplicate, lock, or hide them together, just like grouping in any standard design tool.

Add blur to your text shadows ✨

Text shadows now support blur. You’ll find it as a new option within the existing Shadows section, alongside the current shadow controls. Adjust blur intensity anywhere from 0% to 100% to create anything from subtle softness to dramatic glow effects.

Mix this with other text effects like Stroke and cool fonts to create mind blowing customizable texts for your products!

New Ways to Style and Display Your Swatches 🎨

We’ve introduced two new improvements to help you customize how swatches look and behave in your store:

🅰 Custom Text Swatch Styles: Text swatches now have their own dedicated style settings. Previously, all swatch types shared the same style configuration, making it difficult to customize text swatches independently from color and image swatches.

↔️ Horizontal Swatch Slider: Choose how your swatches are displayed: keep the classic wrapped layout or switch to a horizontal slider. This helps reduce the amount of space swatches take up on your product page while creating a cleaner browsing experience.

Face Cutout – Smart Face Placement (with Cutout Pro) 😄

Customily now automatically detects the face position within a cutout image and places it precisely inside the bounding box defined in the template, centered and properly scaled, no manual adjustment needed. It even supports image rotation.

Hide Option Values Temporarily ⏸️

Options can now be hidden temporarily, making it easy to remove them from the customer experience without losing their configuration.

This is especially useful when:

• A material, finish, flavor, or other option is currently out of stock but will be available again soon.
• An option is only available during certain seasons or promotional periods.
• You need to pause an option without rebuilding it later.

Layer Group Selection Now Supports Lock and Hide 🔒

The Lock and Hide actions are now available when selecting a group of layer, such as Layouts, Files, Groups, and Shopify Elements, saving you time and effort when managing complex designs and multi previews.
