Introducing the Eraser Tool by Ribbet! Now you can easily delete areas from layers, textures, frames and stickers on all your favorite Ribbet creations. That means it’s now easy to add another person to a photo, and to customize textures, stickers and frames by deleting areas you don’t want.

Also new in today’s update: Now you can add text using any font from your computer. That means you can download and install thousands of free fonts from websites like dafont.com and 1001freefonts.com and then use them in your Ribbet creations, leading to endless Typographic possibilities. Just click “Load My Fonts” at the bottom of the Ribbet font list to use any font from your computer!

New Pro Editor and Artsy Brush Tools

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… New feature time! Over the coming weeks Ribbet! will be releasing lots of exciting new features to keep your editing juices flowing.

Want to get a little more advanced? Use our new Pro Editor tool to open up your masterpiece in Pixlr, a Photoshop-like editor where you can use fonts from your computer, fill areas with color, create layers and much more. Or try Pixlr Express, a fun, easy editor similar to Ribbet with many additional fonts, filters, frames and stickers.

Once you save your changes your photo will be flattened and you can keep on editing. To use your edited photo as a sticker, click Undo after editing. Note that Ribbet isn’t affiliated with Pixlr, we’ve simply integrated with their API to allow you to use multiple editors from one easy place.

Feeling Artsy? Artsy Brush is an all-new painting feature which lets you add lots of new artsy doodles to your photos.

Both new tools can be found on the “Featured” tab, which we’ve completely revised and now features our Holiday seasonals which include santa hats, beards, snow filters, Hanukkah icons, gift tags and much more.

Tips and tricks

Here are a few advanced tips for Ribbet experts and apprentices:

- Hold shift when resizing a shape to distort it
- When color selecting, click the small rectangle to the right of the color picker to then select a color from your photo!
- Right click on text, stickers, frames etc for more options including duplicate, bring to front and delete
- Use “Advanced Blend Modes” under the color picker to make text and stickers transparent, and use the color picker to change the color of stickers
- When using the “doodle” tool and other brush tools like “blemish fix”, use the [ and ] keys on the keyboard to change your brush size
- Use the photo basket to add custom textures to your photos by dragging items from the basket over your photo and then adjusting the “Advanced Blend Mode” and fade level
