You can use Devices and Devtools for each device, create custom Device Sets, use Url and Scroll sync, manage Auto-refresh, monitor for page errors, use Captures (screenshots and screen recorder), control Cache and appearance, use built-in Image editor.

User feedbacks and bug reports are highly appreciated. We reward users with free licenses for finding critical issues and providing great ideas on improving Blisk.

New shopping cart

Blisk starts supporting the new shopping cart with an improved user experience and new features. As a result, it should become easier and more convenient for users to purchase Premium licenses. Licenses for a single user now do not require a full address. Customers are now able to define company details from the section Billing details > Company tab.

Transparent background of screenshots

In version 15, we implemented one of the most requested features by our users - support for screenshots with a transparent background. Starting with this version, you can again use screenshots with transparent background created in Blisk for mockups and demos.

Quick switching of devices

Blisk finally starts supporting quick switching of devices on all platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux). Now users can change the device in two clicks.

To quickly change the devices in the existing device set:

• Click on the device name.
• Select a new device from the drop-down list that appears.

Auto-refreshing the current tab

Update Blisk to the latest version in case you need use Auto-refresh for the current tab only. This feature is now available in Blisk v.15+ in Advanced settings of Auto-refresh for any domain. By default, Blisk automatically refreshes all tabs with Auto-refresh enabled.
