Release notes for Mac app beta
Sketch 2025.2 (204586) released on June 26, 2025
Documents you open with this update will be incompatible with older Sketch versions — this may affect anyone you collaborate and share documents with.
Introducing: Glass
This update brings a new glass effect to Sketch. Yes, the one you’ve been asking for. You’ll find it under a new Effects section of the Inspector, where you can give a tint, choose automatic settings, or tweak every parameter to your liking.
Concentric corners
You can now set a layer’s corners to Auto, so they visually align with the corners of the nearest container that has corner properties. We calculate this based on the layer’s distance to that container — or the container’s padding if it’s a stack.
Progressive blurs
In the Effects section of the Inspector, you’ll find new layer and background blur options. Choose from Uniform (previously Gaussian or Background), Linear Progressive, or Radial Progressive. Progressive blurs support multiple adjustable stops—like gradients—that you can move freely on the canvas.
New Apple UI Libraries
Apple have updated their Sketch Libraries for both macOS 26 and iOS 26. You’ll find them in Settings > Libraries if you want to enable them.
·Improvements (8)
- We’ve added menu and command bar items for changing a layer’s corner style, and resetting its corners to their default settings (Rounded, 0).
- You can now use the eyedropper tool to add or change a page’s canvas color when you haven’t selected anything on the canvas.
- We’ve added a menu item and shortcut ?6 to view Graphic Templates in the Components View.
- We now install updates for Libraries with a license agreement that hasn’t changed automatically, instead of requiring you to accept the license agreement again.
- You can now add search keywords to any component in the components view. This gives you more control over and better results wherever you search for components.
- Container titles on the canvas now dynamically adjust to contrast with dark or light canvas colors.
- We’ve improved Sketch’s performance when you work with background blurs.
- We’ve improved Sketch’s performance around rendering shadows on image layers.
·Changes (3)
- The Gaussian Blur type is now called “Layer” and has three new options; Uniform Blur (previous Gaussian Blur), Linear Progressive Blur, and Radial Progressive Blur
- The Background Blur type is now simple “Background” and has three new options; Uniform Blur (previously Background Blur), Linear Progressive Blur, and Radial Progressive Blur
- We’ve adjusted the radius value for background blurs to better match current web standards. Existing background blurs have a new radius value but will look the same.
·Fixes (8)
- Fixes a bug where the Data button wouldn’t work when you selected an individual text override.
- Fixes a bug where exporting a frame might ignore fills on symbol sources nested inside that frame.
- Fixes a bug that reparented nested frames unexpectedly within other frames in your selection, as you dragged your selection on the canvas.
- Fixes a bug where a symbol instance, that you set as an alpha mask, would switch to being an outline mask if you used it as part of another symbol.
- Fixes a bug where editing layers inside a frame which uses Zoom blur could leave artifacts on the canvas.
- Fixes a bug where, in some cases, a shadow on a group wouldn’t appear if the group only contained a blurred layer.
- Fixes a bug where you couldn’t copy and paste a blur style.
- Fixes a bug where a shadow on an image layer could clip unexpectedly.
