What is new in IconWorkshop 6.97?

The current changelog confirms WebP image support, improved Axialis IconVectors integration, and general stability and performance improvements.

Can I keep SVG as the master artwork?

Do Photoshop and Illustrator workflows still matter?

Yes. The current product material still treats those bridges as core workflows. The 6.96 changelog confirms Illustrator plug-in compatibility through the 2026 release, and the 6.95 release material highlighted Photoshop and Illustrator 2024 plug-ins.
