Product updates and announcements.
We redesigned the admin panel to make it more user-friendly and intuitive. The new design is more consistent with the rest of the app and provides a better user experience.
We improved the placeholder background of images. The gradient now looks more natural and is less distracting. Also it's not pixelated for Safari users anymore.
We improved the image viewer performance by 12x. ¹ You can now load images faster than ever before.
Just go to a Gallery, open the image viewer and navigate through the images. You will notice the difference.
We also added support for animated GIFs. You can now upload and view animated GIFs in Framebird.
¹ - Based on our internal tests with a gallery of 3000 Images.
You can now see all your existing Shares before creating a new one. This way you won't create duplicates by accident.
You can now follow the latest Changes we made to Framebird on our Changelog Page. It's also available in the Admin Panel when you click on your Avatar -> What's New.
You can now customize the roundness of your images. Both the Share Themes and the Admin Panel have a new setting called Rounded Corner Radius. You can completely disable the roundness or increase it if you enjoy the roundness.

You can now choose from light or dark mode for your shares. Switch the Grid Style between regular Grid or Flow Style. Tweak the Grid Gap Tile Size to your likings.
You can now run commands and search for files with CMD+K.
Just press CMD+K (or CTRL+K on Windows) and start typing. You can also use the arrow keys to navigate through the results and press enter to open the selected element.
We will add more commands in the future to make Framebird even more powerful. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.
Want to share your Portfolios, Callsheets or Storyboards? You can now upload PDFs to Framebird and preview them in the browser. You can also share them with your clients and colleagues.
Framebird now supports HEIC images. HEIC stands for High Efficiency Image Container. The format is an updated variant of the High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF), traditionally used by Apple across its mobile devices.
You will now get notified via email if someone comments on your images or rates them. You can disable this feature in the Admin Panel if you don't want to receive emails.
Are you using Star Ratings with Lightroom, Capture One or another App? You can now filter your images by rating. Just click on the star rating you want to filter by and you will only see images with that rating.
(Thanks to Felix)
You can now sort your images by name, date, rating or size.
You can now choose between two different grid layouts. The new layout is called Flow and it's a more compact layout because it does not show any borders for non landscape images. It's perfect for showcasing a lot of images in a small space.
🎉 We're thrilled to announce the launch of Framebird!
You can now sign up for free to showcase your media files through visually striking galleries, gather feedback, and allow others to download the original files.
We now have a Roadmap and a Bug Report Page. Please use them to let us know what you want to see next and what you think about the App.
Thank you for all the Feedback we got during the Beta Phase. We are now removing the Beta Badge from the App. We are still working on new features and improvements, but we are confident that the App is now ready for production use.
We are now counting the views of your shares! No more guessing how many people have seen your share. You can find the view count in the share overview. Every Click counts, even if you click on the same share multiple times.
Only clicks on the shared URL are counted. If you click on the share in the Framebird App, it will not count as a view.
There is a new Share Theme called Forma. It's a minimalistic theme with a focus on the content. It's perfect for sharing images and videos with your friends and family.
Framebird launched in closed beta today! 🎉
I sent out the first batch of invites to our early adopters on the waiting list, and I'm excited to see what you think about the product. If you haven't received an invite yet, don't worry, I'll be sending out more invites over the next few weeks.
I'm incredibly grateful for your support, and can't wait to have you on board! Let's make media sharing more enjoyable together. If you have any questions or need assistance, simply write me a mail, and I'll be happy to help.
