Screenfully 1.8.0 Is Live: Audio Editing, Custom Frames, and Smarter Exports

August 15, 2026

Screenfully 1.8.0 expands iOS editing with audio tools, generated status bars, custom frames, transparent PNG export, and stronger project reliability across save, preset, and export flows.

What Changed in 1.8.0

More Pro Controls, Clearer Defaults, and Transparent Export

This release sharpens the line between free and Pro while simplifying common editing defaults.

Highlights:

  • Moved image overlays, video backgrounds, higher export quality, and several advanced styling controls behind Pro where appropriate
  • Made square the default free aspect ratio and set portrait as the default editing preview for both video and screenshot flows
  • Simplified export UI for free users and removed extra explanatory text below export actions
  • Added transparent PNG export with a no-background option for image output

Generated Status Bars, Custom Frames, and Better Background Editing

Visual editing is substantially more capable in 1.8.0, especially for polished app mockups and exports.

Highlights:

  • Added a generated status-bar overlay system for templates and exports with automatic color sampling, screenshot support, and video rendering support
  • Added custom device frames, device-frame calibration, rounded-corner adjustments, and shadow alignment fixes
  • Added recent custom images and gradients plus removal flows for custom image, gradient, frame, and video backgrounds
  • Added background image adjustment tools for video editing with better switching, persistence, and preview behavior
  • Improved outlines, focus handles, zoom previews, toolbar ordering, and inner-toolbar centering for more precise editing

Audio Editing and Stronger Timeline Controls

Creators can now bring more of the final composition workflow directly into Screenfully.

Highlights:

  • Added audio import, selection, waveform trimming, placement, volume control, and deletion for audio tracks
  • Improved timeline rendering and track behavior for audio editing
  • Added a playback speed tool with editor controls that reflect speed changes more accurately
  • Reworked timeline and playhead handling to fix trim resets, placement mismatches, and track-ordering issues
  • Updated tool ordering so audio, zoom, shadow, and background controls behave more consistently across editor surfaces

Better Persistence, Presets, and Editor Reliability

A large part of 1.8.0 is about making complex projects survive save, reload, and revision more reliably.

Highlights:

  • Added persistent background state per project and expanded save/load behavior for media-specific editing state
  • Improved project-save dialogs, unsaved-change prompts, and save-mode-aware handling for image and video projects
  • Expanded preset coverage so more settings are captured, reused, overwritten safely, and restored consistently
  • Fixed undo, redo, and auto-save regressions affecting presets, screenshot image state, and background persistence
  • Improved project discard handling, layer ordering reliability, preview lag, and editor parity issues

Notifications, Localization, and Marketing Refresh

This release also adds more product infrastructure and updates supporting website messaging.

Highlights:

  • Centralized newly added user-facing copy and updated localized resources across English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese
  • Refreshed website pricing, FAQ, feature, terms, and testimonial copy to match the current product and subscription presentation

Why This Release Matters

Screenfully 1.8.0 improves several critical parts of the iOS creation experience:

  • More advanced editing with audio tracks, generated status bars, and custom device frames
  • Clearer free versus Pro behavior across backgrounds, overlays, and export controls
  • More dependable project persistence for backgrounds, presets, save flows, and undo history
  • Better product messaging across both the app and the marketing website
