Pick which version everyone sees, and get closer to your work
An asset's variants can now take over the picture — or the clip — that everyone already sees, without a single link changing. The editor also got a new canvas you can zoom all the way into.
What's new:
- Set as Default, on any variant. One click makes a variant the version the asset shows. The one it replaces stays in the variants list, so you can put it back whenever you want.
- Nothing to re-share. Pages, documents, and decks that already use the asset pick up the new version on their own — nothing to re-copy, re-upload, or re-embed. Integrations and AI agents can set the default too, so an approved edit can go live without anyone opening Raster.
- Videos get variants too. A re-cut, a caption burn-in, a lighter delivery copy — a video now carries alternate versions the same way a photo does, with the same navigator, upload, archive, and download controls, and Set as Default works on it. A variant always matches the kind of media it belongs to, so a video never swaps in for a photo.
- Names that stay put. Promoting a variant carries its name onto the asset, and the version it replaced keeps the old one. The original renames inline too, with the same hover pencil every variant has.
- A canvas you can zoom into. Pinch or ⌘-scroll to zoom the editor, drag to pan, and click or press
Zto jump between fit and full size. Motion carries its own momentum and settles at the edges, and the image resolves to real full-resolution detail as you go in. - Everything about your videos. The details panel now reports codec, frame rate, bitrate, and the audio track alongside duration and dimensions — and those details come back over REST, GraphQL, and MCP as well.
