The Artboard Manifesto
Simple. Powerful. Fun.
Artboard is simple to use to get you going fast, yet powerful enough to meet your everyday drawing needs.
Plays Nicely with Others
Copy & paste your graphics between popular productivity apps such as iWork™ Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
WYSIWYG Drawing
Artboard produces fully editable, smooth vector graphics with complete what–you–see–is–what–you–get (WYSIWYG) drawing. Get beautifully rendered text available with outline, mask, and text on path. Thanks to Artboard’s swift object editing, you can move shapes, adjust curves, add text, rotate directly, and add or remove vertices along your paths with ease.
Colors
Artboard uses calibrated color throughout for repeatable results that will satisfy the most exacting professional print standards. Play with beautiful color combinations and gradients to create styles that let your masterpiece soar.
