Swift Publisher 5.7.6

Swift Publisher 5.7.6 for Mac

Swift Publisher is desktop publishing software from BeLight Software for macOS. You lay out print-ready pages—brochures, flyers, business cards, labels, disc covers, calendars—in a visual editor without the learning curve of professional DTP suites.

Typical projects

• Bi-fold and tri-fold brochures, catalogs, and newsletters
• Business cards and social-media-sized graphics
• Address labels, envelopes, and barcode or QR sheets
• CD/DVD labels and jewel-case inserts
• Booklets with imposition handled inside the app

How you work in the app

Start from one of 500+ templates or a blank document. Drag photos from Apple Photos, iTunes, or Finder folders. Add text boxes, circular text for disc designs, vertical text, and flowing linked boxes for multi-column layouts. Master pages repeat headers, footers, and backgrounds; unlimited layers keep complex jobs organized in the Inspector.

Design tools include gradients, shadows, smart shapes, over 100 image masks, a built-in Core Image editor, and optional Art Text 4 integration for custom headings. Mail merge pulls names and addresses from Apple Contacts or a text file so you can batch-print labels or badges in one run.

Printing and handoff

• Home printing on Avery, Memorex, Neato, and many other label and card stocks
• Direct-to-disc printing on supported Epson, Canon, HP, and other drives with a disc tray
• Label-roll printers from DYMO, Zebra, Brother, Seiko, Primera, and similar brands
• Export to PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, or EPS with RGB or CMYK, bleed settings, and optional text-to-curves for print shops

Licensing and version 5.7.6

BeLight sells Swift Publisher with a free trial and a one-time purchase (about $19.99 on the vendor site; Mac App Store pricing may differ). It runs on macOS 10.12 or later on Intel and Apple Silicon. Version 5.7.6 (April 2026) mainly fixes a hang on MacBooks with a Touch Bar, plus minor stability improvements—no large feature drop in this build.
