Organize Your References.

Early Testing • Come Check it Out!

For illustators that want to use references fast, and don't like digging through dozens of folders to find something.

Find your References Easily

Build a library of images you can use again and again. So you don't need to maintain 50 Pinterest boards or 200 folders.

View them However you want

View your images in a grid or freeform canvas. Pin an image. Split things into sections. You're not constrained to a single canvas (but you still can).

Come back to where you left off

Keep all your ideas in one place, so you don't need to open new files everytime you switch projects.

How is Mudboard different?

Mudboard lets you use images that you like by making them easy to find.

Pinterest

Great for collecting and discovering ideas. Mudboard helps you use what you saved — fast, without needing to dig or rebuild every time.

PureRef

Offers deep control and flexibility. Mudboard keeps the freedom and adds speed, so you can build faster and share it too!

Drawing Apps

Mudboard doesn't replace these. Instead, it helps organize references so you can focus on drawing.

Mudboard M

Mudboard

Built for artists by an artist. Organize faster, reuse your best images, and build a visual library you'll actually use.

Exports in the Wild

Export your sections to share ideas with friends or clients!

I used to reference photos Photoshop, but this is just way faster and easier to come back to.

FAQ

Do I need to sign up to use the app?

No sign-up needed to make and share boards! You only need to sign up if you want to save a board.

Who can see my board/sections?

All boards and sections are private by default. They can't be found unless you share the link, and can't be edited by others (at the moment).

Will you train AI or sell my artwork/data?

No.

Will you add [that feature I’m hoping for]?

Probably! You can check out this public roadmap of what's planned/prioritized.
