Product features
A serious canvas for creative direction
Scan the essentials, then explore the full set when you need more detail.
A canvas, not a template
Move, resize, rotate, and layer every element freely. Use snap-to-grid when precision matters, or keep the composition loose while ideas are still forming.
Mixed-media direction
Combine images, playable video, PDF pages, and styled text on the same board so the whole creative brief lives in one visual space.
Image finishing built in
Apply masks, borders, corner radius, opacity, and colour adjustments directly on the canvas instead of preparing every asset elsewhere.
Presentation-ready output
Export a high-resolution PNG for decks and handoffs, with zoom and fit controls for presenting the board live.
Private client links
Ultimate adds browser-based share links with optional password protection. Clients can view the work without creating an account.
Feedback in context
Ultimate also adds pinned canvas comments and threaded replies, keeping decisions beside the visual instead of buried in email.
