Visual Reference Board Studio
Drag, arrange, and annotate inspiration in a responsive board built for design teams. Snap to grid, reorder layers, duplicate ideas, and save the whole workspace locally.
Infinite canvas
Zoomable grid with snap + freeform move and resize.
Layer aware
Bring forward/back, duplicate, and keep items stacked cleanly.
Note-friendly
Sticky notes with inline editing beside your references.
Local-first
Save or load boards as JSON; nothing leaves your browser.
Updated interaction model
Snapping, layering, duplication, and keyboard-friendly controls.
Board themes & snap
Choose blueprint or soft grid backgrounds and keep items aligned as you move or resize.
Layer order controls
Bring to front, send back, or duplicate selected elements without losing alignment.
Faster flow
Keyboard delete, zoom presets, and status hints keep focus on arranging visuals.
Start your board
Drag & drop images/videos, paste from clipboard, or click Upload to begin. Use Shift to multi-select.
Drag & drop anything
Drop images straight from your desktop. Resize, rotate, and keep them snapped to a clean grid.
Plan compositions
Layer references, notes, and color ideas together so your board reads like a storyboard.
Sticky notes in context
Add ideas directly beside each reference without breaking flow or switching tools.
Working tips
Drop and snap
Drag files from Finder/Explorer; keep snap on for quick alignment and toggled off for freeform.
Layer smartly
Use bring-forward/back plus duplicate to iterate without recreating spacing.
Save locally
Export JSON snapshots to revisit compositions and keep work on-device.
