    Product highlight · Jul 7, 2026

    Novus PDF Studio is live: fill, sign, scan, and export PDF forms

  2. Two paths from one photo — a real ML model (background-removal segmentation, super-resolution upscaling) on capable hardware and a labelled classical fallback on modest hardware — both running on-device with no upload

    Product highlight · Jun 15, 2026

    When the fallback becomes the real thing: real AI models vs classical baselines in the browser

    The v1.7.0 "real models everywhere" shift explained: what a real model (a segmentation network for background removal, a super-resolution model for upscaling) actually buys you over a classical baseline like a bicubic resize, why the fallback still has a job, how the app decides which to run, and why telling you which one ran is the whole point of "honest everywhere".

    • Real models where hardware allows
    • Honest classical fallback elsewhere
    • It tells you which one ran

  3. A live visualizer preview and the exported video file shown side by side as identical frames, both beat-synced, with a seekable timeline — rendered in the browser with no upload

    Product highlight · Jun 15, 2026

    Why the preview now matches the export: rebuilding a music-visualizer render engine

    A deep dive into the v2.0 export engine: why preview and export drift apart in the first place, what "seekable" means and why scrubbing used to break, how beat-sync stays locked between the live preview and the rendered file, why every mode is now visually distinct, and what an honest in-browser render pipeline owes the user.

    • The export equals the preview
    • Seekable MP4/WebM output
    • Beat-sync locked end to end

  4. A phone running the Novus Visualizers mobile editor — upload track, pick a vertical format, tune the look, export a beat-synced video

    Product highlight · Jun 14, 2026

    Make a music visualizer on your phone, start to finish

    The full phone workflow: why the v2.0 mobile editor makes a desktop optional, picking a track and a format, choosing an engine and syncing it to the beat, adding text and a logo, exporting on-device, sharing to Reels and TikTok, and getting good results within mobile's limits.

    • No desktop needed
    • Vertical & Canvas formats
    • Export & share on-device
