> Weekly changelog covering extra credits purchase, cross-session reference images, inline @ mentions, annual billing, and embedded Stripe checkout.

<Update label="September 29 – October 5, 2026" description="v1.0.34" tags={["Feature", "Improvement", "Fix"]}>
  ## New features

  **Buy extra credits** — You can now purchase additional credits beyond your plan allocation. A new "Buy Credits" option is available from the [billing page](/billing/credits), so you can top up whenever you need more without changing your plan.

  **Cross-session reference images** — Reference images are no longer tied to a single session. Upload images once and reuse them across any session from a shared upload library. See [reference images](/image-generation/reference-images) for details.

  **Inline @ mentions for reference images** — Type `@` in the prompt editor to insert reference image chips directly into your prompt text. This makes it easy to specify exactly which reference image you want the model to use.

  **Inspiration feed** — New sessions now show a feed of recent community creations and style presets to help you get started. Browse what others are making and jump into a generation with one click.

  **Report images** — You can now report inappropriate images directly from the asset detail panel, helping keep the community gallery safe for everyone.

  ## Updates

  **Annual billing and redesigned pricing page** — The [pricing page](/billing/plans) now defaults to annual billing with a clear comparison to monthly pricing. A sticky navigation bar makes it easier to browse plans.

  **Embedded checkout** — Upgrading your plan or purchasing credits now happens in an embedded modal instead of redirecting you to a separate page. The entire purchase flow stays inside Open Canva.

  **Simplified credit pricing** — Image generations now cost whole-number credit amounts (e.g., 1 credit per image), replacing the previous fractional pricing. Video credits scale by duration. See [credits](/billing/credits) for the updated rates.

  **Explore page for visitors** — Unauthenticated visitors can now browse the Explore page with a scroll limit and a clear sign-up prompt, making it easier to see what Open Canva can do before creating an account.

  **Session status indicators** — Sessions in the sidebar now show status icons for generating, complete, and error states so you can monitor progress across multiple sessions at a glance.

  ## Bug fixes

  * **Duplicate video cards** — Fixed a race condition that could cause the same video to appear twice in your generation history.
  * **Stuck processing state** — Resolved an issue where some images in a multi-model batch could get permanently stuck on "processing" if part of the batch failed.
  * **Terminal errors polling forever** — Generations that hit a provider error now fail immediately instead of polling indefinitely.
  * **Clearer error messages** — Provider errors now show a friendly description instead of raw technical output.
  * **Video aspect ratio in lightbox** — The video modal now displays videos in their correct aspect ratio instead of forcing 16:9.
  * **Batch size auto-clamp** — When selecting multiple models, the batch size now adjusts automatically to a valid value.
  * **Mobile tap targets** — Fixed invisible hover buttons on mobile that could block taps on image and video cards.
  * **Video fullscreen flicker** — Resolved a visual glitch when entering or exiting fullscreen video playback.
