When an existing CHILI GraFx user is invited to a new subscription, they now receive an email notification showing the subscription name and guiding them to sign in with their existing credentials.

Some Photoshop documents contain groups that have effects applied (such as Drop Shadow or Bevel & Emboss) but no layers inside them. These empty groups caused the import to fail. They are now skipped during import, so affected packages load into GraFx Studio without issues.

Documents with many images now generate more reliably. A fix prevents memory from building up during output runs, reducing the chance of failures on complex jobs.
PDF images are now cached during output generation, so they no longer need to be re-processed on each run. Documents that reuse the same PDF images across multiple outputs will be noticeably faster.
This release continues ongoing work to reduce memory consumption during output generation, building on previous improvements to font handling. Documents with many fonts or images should run more smoothly.
Template designers and environment admins can now use Tags to organize and filter templates in GraFx Studio.
As your template library grows, Tags let you group templates by brand, campaign, or product line — so every designer can filter down to exactly what is relevant to them, without relying on naming conventions or scrolling through unrelated content.
See Tags concept
Resolved an out-of-memory issue caused by the font cache growing unbounded during document processing. This fix improves reliability when working with documents that reference a large number of fonts, reducing crashes and failed output jobs in those scenarios.
Watermarked renders are now shown as a separate category in the renders overview — both at environment level and at subscription level. Previously, watermarked renders were included in the total renders count, and the breakdown was only available per environment.
This gives subscription owners a clearer view of actual billable renders versus watermarked output across all their environments.
Platform API changes:
The following endpoints now exclude watermarked renders from totalRenders and expose them via a new totalWatermarkedRenders property:
GET /api/v1/environments/{environmentId}GET /api/v1/environments/{environmentId}/rendersGET /api/v1/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}GET /api/v1/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/rendersYou can now fully remove the authentication configuration from a connector. A new [None] option is available in the Authorization dropdown when configuring a connector. Selecting [None] and saving removes the existing authentication from the connector.
Previously, once an authentication type was set, it could only be replaced — not removed.
GraFx Labs is a dedicated space where you can explore and validate experimental features. These capabilities are designed to test functional value and technical feasibility before becoming part of the core platform.
Warning
Features in GraFx Labs are experimental.
They can change or be removed at any time.
The goal is to validate and capture feedback from you.
This tool enables you to quickly create high-quality product visuals, with or without starting from a predefined asset.
Product shot composition builder.
Background selection from:
Product image input from:
User-friendly composition interface for positioning and layout.
This tool allows you to combine products and backgrounds into ready-to-use product shots in a controlled environment.
Subscription Admins, Environment Admins, and Template Designers have access to GraFx Labs as a controlled space to experiment with AI-powered image creation and product composition capabilities.
These features allow you to validate new workflows and creative possibilities before they become part of the standard CHILI GraFx platform.
See our Trust section for details on how AI is used in the platform.
v2026.0.2.0
This update improves PDF output stability under heavy processing by reducing font-related memory consumption.
Note
This update is rolled out progressively, starting with multi-tenant environments and then to eligible private cloud environments.
v1.38
When you build complex design systems with many variables, it can become a challenge to see where each variable is applied.
With variable highlighting, you can temporarily highlight a selected variable directly on the layout. This lets you instantly see every place it is used, so you can review, validate, and adjust with more confidence.
Asset names are shown as tooltips in media-related panels, helping Design System creators pick the right asset faster when working with larger libraries.
You can now set color values directly in actions using supported color spaces such as RGB, Hex and CMYK.
This allows you to programmatically control colors across different output requirements, ensuring consistent on-screen and print styling when templates apply automated logic.
Fixed Smart Crop behavior related to subject area settings in GraFx Media, resulting in more consistent image placement.
Fixed several issues that could cause unexpected behavior when undoing actions, including cases involving deselecting frames.
Fixed an issue where watermarked renders were displayed incorrectly.
Added PDF version selection in postProcessing.pdfVersion (1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7), enabling explicit control over the generated PDF standard.
Added configurable color transformation in postProcessing.colorTransformation, allowing you to define:
intendedIccProfiledestinationIccProfile
This enables precise control over color conversion behavior during PDF generation.
Added configurable Output Intent embedding via postProcessing.colorProfileEmbedding.iccProfile, allowing you to define the ICC profile embedded in the PDF.
