Key Features
Resize to Guide
Resize layers to nearest guides.
Match Size
Match the size of selected layers to a target layer.
Resize to Exact Size
Resize layers to an exact pixel size.
Align to Anchor Object
Align selected layers to an anchor object, similar to Illustrator's Align to Key Object.
Align (Consider Linked Layers)
Align layers while keeping linked layers grouped together as a unit.
Better Distribution
Distribute objects with a specified spacing while aligning them simultaneously.
Better Move — Guide Mode
Snap objects to the nearest guide in any direction — set guides, select objects, click a direction, done. Perfect for figure panel layout without manual dragging.
Guide Mode — Anchor Object
An advanced sub-mode of Guide Mode: designate an anchor object, and its corresponding edge snaps to the nearest guide — ideal for aligning large panels to each other for a balanced, visually anchored layout.
Resize & Preserve Text Size
Scale panels to fit your layout without affecting text size — by guide, percentage, or exact dimensions.
