What's New in Kumo
1.0.5
October 16, 2026
More accurate masks, better-protected faces. • Better-fitting stickers: smaller and better placed on the head. • Blur and pixels now follow the shape of the face, up to the hairline. • Distant faces: Kumo now finds small faces in the background of a photo or video. • Video: much steadier face tracking when the camera moves (panning, zooming). Analysis takes a little longer. • New layout on wide screens: photo on the left, tools on the right. • Fix: analyzing a long video could close the app. Thank you for using Kumo.
