- 📦ChibiStudio: Chibi Maker updated to version 4.0.1- Addresses an issue that could cause missing items on chibis created in previous versions of the app
- Improves the visibility of different item packs in the editor
- Improves reliability of in-app purchases - 🆕ChibiStudio: Chibi Maker first spotted by AppInsiderUnited States (found via search)
- 📦ChibiStudio: Chibi Maker version 4.0ChibiStudio 4.0 brings a fresh design for Liquid Glass, full support for iPhone Duo, a more playful canvas, and new ways to find and personalize your chibis.
Requires iOS 26 or later. Some features require iOS 27. Apple Intelligence features require a supported device in an eligible region.
LIQUID GLASS
Every part of the app has been redesigned around Liquid Glass: a new toolbar, a consistent item drawer on iPhone and iPad, and a categories browser you can scrub across with magnification. The faster gallery opens chibis with a zoom transition. Enjoy a new app icon, redesigned Settings and Timeline, and a welcome tour hosted by the little face from the app icon.
MADE FOR IPHONE DUO
ChibiStudio adapts to how you hold your iPhone Duo, keeping the canvas and controls clear of the fold and camera, with support for the outer display too.
- Laptop pose: partially open on a table, your chibi fills the top half and the item drawer fills the bottom. Browse and tap items like a keyboard while the canvas stays in view.
- Book pose: the canvas sits on one side and the drawer on the other, with categories along the outer edge for easy thumb browsing.
- Fully open: make the most of the large display with an iPad-style editor.
- Fold or unfold mid-edit without losing your selected category, active tool, zoom level, or search.
- A little something extra: in laptop pose, your chibi casts a live reflection onto the lower display that follows every edit and color change.
A BETTER EDITOR
- Exploded View separates layers in 3D to help you select items hidden behind others. Drag with two fingers to rotate.
- Pinch to zoom, double-tap with two fingers to zoom in on part of your chibi, and tap the zoom indicator to reset.
- Edit in landscape on iPhone and every orientation on iPad, with the drawer beside the canvas.
- Search for items right inside the editor.
- The redesigned color tool includes Automatic coordinated colors for select items, individual color editing, and custom colors with the system color picker.
- A machine learning model creates more varied, balanced random chibis, with a new animation.
- Improved VoiceOver support in the canvas.
BACKGROUNDS
Choose a random, preset, or custom background color for new chibis, or no background, in Settings. On supported devices, generate backgrounds with Image Playground using a prompt created with Private Cloud Compute to suit your chibi. Share or save chibis without their backgrounds from the gallery.
FIND YOUR CHIBIS
The new Search tab finds chibis by their contents using Apple Intelligence descriptions. On iOS 27, descriptions use Private Cloud Compute when available; otherwise, they are generated on your device. Descriptions sync through iCloud, so each device doesn't need to index your library again. Search still works without Apple Intelligence, with less precision.
Find your chibis in Spotlight or open one with the new Open Chibi action in Shortcuts. A single Settings toggle controls all Apple Intelligence features.
GALLERY, SHARING, AND WIDGETS
- Select multiple chibis to share or delete together. Save directly to Photos or drag chibis out of the gallery.
- Initial iCloud sync shows chibis as they arrive, with progress in the gallery. Pull down to sync any time.
- Choose High Efficiency or Most Compatible image exports.
- Improved link creation and a unified interface for receiving links, chibis of the week, and chibis from widgets.
- Extra large Chibi Calendar on iPad and, with iOS 27, extra large portrait on iPhone. Widgets have a refreshed layout and use less memory for better reliability.
- A Control Center control opens the gallery or jumps straight into the editor.
The Tip Jar and Chibi Builder widget have been removed. Thank you to everyone who tipped over the years! This update also brings smoother animations, updated localizations, and smaller fixes throughout the app.… more - 🆕ChibiStudio: Chibi Maker released on the App Store
