Image insertion in design edit mode now uses the full conversion flow — conversion method → noise reduction → color reduction — the same steps as regular canvas conversion. Settings apply only to the inserted region.
Added rotation for inserted images (1-degree slider with 90° snapping and ±90° buttons).
Inserted images now default to 100% opacity.
Fixed inserted images not being draggable on smartphones.
Added site introduction content and guides (image conversion tips / noise & color reduction / using designs in Heartopia) plus an About page.

Added free-size canvas mode: create pixel art at any dimensions, beyond the Heartopia-specific canvases.
Improved multilingual search engine optimization (per-language titles, descriptions and metadata).

Stability and security improvements (hardened share page rendering, data protection fixes).
Migrated to a new hosting infrastructure for better speed and reliability.

Launched the core features: image-to-pixel-art conversion, numbered blueprints, block work mode, the pixel editor, and design saving/sharing with a public gallery.
