Changelog

What is new and improved in SudoMock: new capabilities, rendering improvements, integrations, and breaking changes. Updated as we ship.

  1. New

    Recolor every outline in a text stack

    • Recolor each outline independently, including a halo behind the front outline, while keeping every width and position intact.
    • stroke_color now accepts a front-to-back color list, with null for any outline that should stay as designed.
    • Upload responses now report stroke_count so stacked outlines are clear before you render.
  2. New

    Recolor text and outlines per render

    • Setting a text color now changes the color you actually see, even on layers the designer styled with a color effect. Requested by a customer personalizing city merch, live for everyone.
    • New stroke_color field recolors a text layer's outline effect while keeping its width and placement. The upload response now tells you which layers support it (has_stroke_effect) and which take their visible color from an effect (has_color_overlay).
    • No silent surprises: if a layer has no outline or an effect covers your color, the render succeeds and the response says so with a clear warning.
  3. Improved

    Longer text now fits the layer by default

    • A longer name or headline now scales down to fit its text layer automatically, so personalized text stays inside the design instead of getting cut off.
    • Need the exact size kept? Set fit to "clip" to cut the text to what fits, or "overflow" to keep the size and let it run past the layer.
    • More of your fonts are recognized automatically, so a font that is already in the catalog renders as itself instead of falling back to a default.
  4. New

    Warped and rotated text render live

    • Rotated text layers render live with your new text and keep their exact angle.
    • Ten text warp styles now render live with your new text, matched to the curve the designer set: Arc, Arc Lower, Arc Upper, Arch, Bulge, Flag, Wave, Fish, Rise, and Squeeze.
    • The remaining warp styles render with their original appearance for now, each with a one-step workaround in the support matrix.
  5. Improved

    Text rendering verified against Photoshop

    • Text rendering is verified against Photoshop's own exports: side by side, the output is indistinguishable across sizes, styles, diacritics, and warp shapes.
    • Sizes, weights, tracking, caps styles, sub and superscript, area text, and warp shapes all hold up under close comparison, so personalized text looks like the designer set it by hand.
  6. Improved

    Predictable hidden layers

    • A hidden text layer is now kept as a fillable slot, so one template can carry optional lines, personalized fields, or language variants that appear only on the renders you choose to fill.
    • A hidden smart object stays out of the render instead of showing blank, and your upload flags any hidden smart objects so you know exactly which layers to turn on.
  7. New

    Text layers and fonts

    • Personalize the text layers in your PSD by API: swap the wording, font, size, and color at render time.
    • Character styling carries over: bold and italic toggles, underline, strikethrough, letter spacing, caps styles, sub and superscript, baseline shift, character scaling, text stroke, and multi-line text all render true to the original design.
    • Render from a full 2,000+-family open-licensed font catalog, or upload your own TTF and OTF fonts on Pro and Scale plans.
    • Original fonts render automatically when available; a missing font falls back and flags the render, so nothing is dropped and nothing fails silently.
    • Layers that mix styles in one line, like a thin name beside a bold surname, are now editable segment by segment, and every segment keeps its exact styling.
    • Area (box) text wraps inside its box exactly as designed, and anything past the box renders clipped, matching the original.
    • Point text, styled segments, and area text are editable; a few layer types like vertical and justified text render with their original appearance, each with a one-step workaround.
  8. New

    Video mockups

    • Turn any mockup into a short product video for ads, listings, and social posts.
    • Pick a duration and optionally add audio; you get a finished, downloadable clip.
    • Long video jobs run in the background so they never block your request.
  9. New

    Signed webhooks for async jobs

    • Get notified the instant a render, video, or upload finishes or fails, with no polling required.
    • Every delivery is signed and timestamped so you can verify it came from us and reject tampered or stale events.
    • Failed deliveries are retried automatically, and you can replay any past event on demand from the dashboard.
    • Subscribe an endpoint to the exact events you care about or to all of them, and send a test event to confirm your setup.
  10. New

    Job history

    • Browse your async render, video, and upload jobs in one place, newest first.
    • See each job status, result, and what it cost, and filter the list to a single job type.
  11. New

    Smart Filters, generally available

    • Render Photoshop smart filters, including Perspective Warp, Curves, Gaussian and Box Blur, Brightness/Contrast, Invert, Displace, and Find Edges, with Adobe-level fidelity.
    • Keeps all 27 layer blend modes and one-click filters accurate, verified to match Photoshop's own output.
