Board

A canvas where every piece stays editable

Drop in characters, props and backgrounds, draw over them, and move every object as its own layer. One search finds scene templates, characters, props, icons and stock photos, and everything you place stays editable, so a change is a nudge, not a redraw.

One search for everything you place

One search box in the canvas toolbar finds scene templates, characters, props, icons and stock photos. Click a result and it lands on the canvas, scaled to your project, with every part still editable.

Customising a character in the character editor

Characters you can pose and dress

Add a character, open the editor, and swap hairstyle, face, top, arms, legs and extras; turn the head and body to face the action. Favourite the parts you use most and they sort to the front in every project.

Layers, guides and locks

Every object on the shot is a layer you can restack, hide, lock or rename. Blue guides snap edges and centres as you move or resize, and Shift keeps things straight. Select several at once to move, group or duplicate them together.

Adding a background to a shot

Backgrounds, photos and your own drawing

Set a background colour, or place a stock photo, your own upload or a Tribe AI image and send it to the back. Draw over anything with the pen tool, then style the lines like any other shape.
