Updates in Kittl
4. Faster template browsing with multi-artboard previews
You can now preview every artboard in a template without opening the editor.
Why it matters: faster scanning, faster picking, less clicking.
5. AI images are private by default with option to publish
Previously, you could set AI images to public and new generations would follow that setting. Now, AI images are private by default for all users, and you could publish your selections to the AI gallery. Our team will review and curate the best ones to showcase in the AI gallery.
Why it matters: more intentional sharing, and your public posts reflect what you actually want to put out.
6. Contextual toolbar + right-click upgrades
We’ve updated the toolbar and right-click menu to bring your most-used tools front and center — right when you need them.
- Contextual toolbar: key tools surface based on what you select
- Contextual (Right-click) menu: cleaner layout, smarter grouping, easier to scan
Why it matters: fewer clicks, faster edits, less hunting for tools.
7. Faster workflow with improved copy & paste
Copy and paste elements without shifting their position so alignment stays intact.
Why it matters: faster iteration, consistent layouts, less re-aligning.
8. Plans & token updates: More generations for the same tokens
- Token costs dropped across key models, roughly 2× more images for the same tokens:
| Model | Now | Before |
| Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra | 15 | 20 |
| Flux Kontext Pro | 15 | 20 |
| Flux 1.1 Pro | 10 | 20 |
| Google Imagen 4 | 10 | 20 |
| Ideogram 2.0A | 10 | 20 |
| Ideogram 3 Quality | 20 | 40 |
| Seedream 3 | 10 | 20 |
- Now some plans have daily credits:
- Expert: 200/day
- Max: 600/day
- Business got renamed to Max
Why it matters: you stay in the creative flow instead of watching the token meter. Daily credits give you more room to experiment, and lower image costs let you generate and iterate more per token.
