What is Mudboard?
Mudboard provides a platform for illustrators to process and manage photos efficiently, focusing on tasks like eyedropping images and handling reference libraries. It allows users to build a reusable library of images, eliminating the need for multiple Pinterest boards or folders, and offers flexible viewing options in grid or freeform canvas layouts with features like pinning images and splitting into sections.
The tool helps artists keep all ideas in one place, facilitating easy switching between projects without opening new files. It differentiates from platforms like Pinterest by emphasizing fast access to saved images without digging, and from tools like PureRef by combining freedom with speed for building and sharing. Mudboard supports exporting sections to share ideas with friends or clients, and all boards are private by default unless links are shared.
