What’s new

2.0.0 — Submariner · September 2026 · macOS & Windows

• Now on macOS and Windows — macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon, and Windows 11 (64-bit).
• Text Studio, 3D Studio, Media Studio and Bubble Designer, with Live Queue and Send to OBS.
• Live alerts for Twitch subs, bits and raids and YouTube Super Chats.
• Asset Store inside the app — File › Library › Asset Store — with free packs to install.
• Free, Creator and Studio plans. Studio adds 4K image exports.
• Build 61 (macOS) is the current download for macOS (since 4 November 2026). An item you export from the Library as a .pli file now carries everything it needs, and importing it brings it all back: a 3D animation with its frames, thumbnail and the model it was made from, a 3D model, a Text Studio item, a speech bubble or a picture. Pop Magics also keeps running at full speed on macOS while its window is hidden.
• Build 59 (macOS) was the download for macOS from 26 October to 4 November 2026. Pop Magics now opens straight on the Free plan, without an account. It asks you to sign in only for the 14-day Creator trial, a paid feature, a store purchase or a licence you bought, and "Continue with Google" comes first. Also: a long headline in a speech bubble now fits, 3D Edit keeps the picture, 3D text is saved, and Facebook Live is no longer offered as a streaming destination.
• Build 61 (Windows) is the current download for Windows (since 5 November 2026). Pop Magics now opens straight on the Free plan, without an account. It asks you to sign in only for the 14-day Creator trial, a paid feature, a store purchase or a licence you bought, and "Continue with Google" comes first. An item you export from the Library as a .pli file now carries everything it needs, and importing it brings it all back. Anything you make on the Free plan moves into your account when you sign in. Also: a long headline in a speech bubble now fits, 3D Edit keeps the picture, 3D text is saved without pressing Make 3D Text, "Span between two Spots" is no longer offered for a speech bubble, and Facebook Live is no longer offered as a streaming destination.
• Build 57 was the download for Windows from 11 October to 5 November 2026 (and for macOS until 26 October). An item you remove from the Library no longer stays in your show as a row called "Gallery item". Editing a 3D animation from the Library and publishing it now updates it instead of making another copy, and Save and add to show no longer adds an edited item a second time. Show opens the Show Builder on the show that is playing, and the arrows beside Now Playing switch between shows. Pop-out scale now works above 100%. Media Studio and 3D Studio have the Spot choice that Text Studio has. Enable public chat replies stays switched on after Apply & Connect. When the camera is busy although everything is switched off, Pop Magics now says what is holding it.
• Build 56 (9 October 2026): when a Twitch sign-in has expired, Pop Magics now stops and tells you once instead of trying to reconnect again and again. Signing out no longer leaves Preview, Send to OBS and the virtual camera switched off the next time you sign in. A .glb model you import in 3D Studio is now kept with the item, so Edit opens it again; an older item whose model was not kept now says so, and can no longer be saved over with a cube. On Windows, build 56 also brings what build 55 changed.
• Build 55 (macOS) (8 October 2026): the picture in the Pop Magics window no longer pauses for a moment every 15 to 20 seconds while a show is running. What OBS, recordings and streams received was never affected.
• Build 54 (7 October 2026): the Bubble Designer now says that the text in its preview is a sample. Check for updates offers a build again even if you chose to skip it, and the update notice now waits until your recording or stream has ended instead of being lost.
• Build 53 (2 and 3 October 2026) fixed the app no longer responding after closing 3D Studio opened from the Library.
• Build 53 (Windows) also addresses the OBS plugin going missing after Pop Magics was uninstalled with OBS open and installed again before a restart: the uninstaller now asks you to close OBS first, and the installer clears what the earlier uninstall left behind.
