The name was changed to Maailman Kuvalehti Kumppani (In English: World's Pictorial Magazine Companion) in 2009.[5] It was further reported by Kepa that "Kumppani" would be eliminated from the title.[5]
The magazine was previously published six times per year.[8] In 2024, the print magazine appears four times. Maailman Kuvalehti has about 5,000 readers in print.[9] In total, the magazine reaches more than 120,000 readers each year.[1]

For example, it has competed in the "Best magazine of the year" category in a competition for the Finnish magazines called Editkilpailu and received honorable mentions in 2017, 2018 and 2022. Also, the stories published in the magazine have received awards in Editkilpailu and many others.[1]
