Graphics & Design

VizRef

VizRef builds visual reference boards for use alongside drawing and animation apps on iPad.

Our take

Choose it to keep still images and animated references visible without adding reference layers to a drawing.

GIF frame stepping, cropping and grayscale tools support close study of a reference.

Keep in mind: It is a board for reference material rather than an illustration or animation production editor.

What you can do

  • Drag or import images and GIFs
  • Step through animation frames
  • Crop, flip or export board images

Good for

  • An illustrator or animator using an iPad reference workflow.

Consider alternatives for

  • Someone needing multi-user whiteboards or finished artwork tools.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 13.2.
  • It is a board for reference material rather than an illustration or animation production editor.

Privacy & permissions

Photos and Files can supply references; exports may move them to a cloud provider you choose.
