Polygonflow has released FrameRef, its reference board software for creative professionals. FrameRef is designed to organize images, videos, GIFs, and PDFs within a single infinite canvas workspace and is positioned as a general-purpose reference tool for visual work.
FrameRef supports drag-and-drop importing from local files, browsers, clipboards, and direct URLs. The software handles common image formats such as JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, and WebP, along with multipage PDFs. Video clips and animated GIFs can be played back directly on the canvas, trimmed to selected segments, and used to extract still frames. Imported media can be arranged manually or organized using automatic layout tools, tags, grouping, snapping, and grid alignment.
The workspace is built around an unlimited zoomable canvas with pan and focus controls intended for large reference boards. Notes, text labels, arrows, lines, shapes, and freehand drawing tools are available for markup and visual annotation. Media items support non-destructive transformations such as scaling, rotation, cropping, and flipping, with quick reset options. An always-on-top mode allows the board to remain visible over other applications.
FrameRef includes a built-in URL video downloader that supports content from platforms such as YouTube, X, and Twitch. Boards are saved without a proprietary file format, using standard media files alongside a JSON data file. Boards or selected regions can be exported at full resolution.
The software is currently available for Windows, with macOS and Linux versions listed as planned. FrameRef is offered with a 30-day free trial, followed by a perpetual license priced at USD 19
