Our mission is to embellish the way people vent their feelings to the one they care through message. From “LOL” to “I love you,” you can express yourself in countless visual ways when you’re conversing with your friends. Today, we’re introducing the new UI overhaul and new brushes on Live Message.

Gradient framework

As our engineers have overcome their technical debt, the new render architecture allows us more artistic freedom. With that being said, instead of a lame solid color background previously, we now can replace that with a vibrant background either gradient or animated GIFs

Background color, photo chooser

We bring background and photo choosers to the front to make it for navigation and reduce context switching between the canvas and the choosers

Particle framework

As stated earlier, the new technical improvement put your creativity to the next level. We added three new brushes Heart, Snow, Gradient. With the first two, your strokes are made to animated within a small of time. Is it amazing, isn’t it?

Color picker

At Live Message, we care about our users. We’re open to your feedback. Color picker is one of the top voted requested feature.

MP4 video

We’re excited to add MP4 encoder to the platform. This help us stay away from GIF 256 colors limitation. In addition, we will allow audio to the background which make your live message really enjoyable.
