Product features

A serious canvas for creative direction

Scan the essentials, then explore the full set when you need more detail.

01

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.

02

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.

03

Image finishing built in

Apply masks, borders, corner radius, opacity, and colour adjustments directly on the canvas instead of preparing every asset elsewhere.

04

Presentation-ready output

Export a high-resolution PNG for decks and handoffs, with zoom and fit controls for presenting the board live.

05

Private client links

Ultimate adds browser-based share links with optional password protection. Clients can view the work without creating an account.

06

Feedback in context

Ultimate also adds pinned canvas comments and threaded replies, keeping decisions beside the visual instead of buried in email.
