Artboards
2022-04-25 19:49:33
Someone asked an interesting question in Pixelmator Pro Facebook group - are there "artboards" in PP?
Seems like there are none. As a workaround, this is what I'd do:
1) create a rectangle for each "artboard"
2) create a group above each rectangle, add all artwork there, mask the group within the rectangle below;
3) manually add slices for each rectangle, so that I could export them as separate images.
However, Photoshop has artboards, and Figma has frames. It is probably inevitable for Pixelmator to evolve in similar direction.

I agree with all above comments! Artboards would be incredibly helpful to use and make an already great software even better! Thanks for the continuous updates and information!

Yes, we need an "artboard" feature

Searching for a quick tool to generate a simple white border for digital printing. Many print suppliers no longer include
white borders. Nothing fancy, just sufficient to be able to mount photos behind precut matts, when framing, without intruding
on photo subject.
I have looked to see if there was such a SHORTCUT available, but if there is, it has eluded me. Love to be able to batch a
group of photos, without fussing with layers individually.

Hello,
I was searching if there was a way to do this in Photomator over on the iPad?

Any updates on this? Tbh from a workflow pov it just makes sense. I hate moving from one app to another. I dont wnat to do anything in figma, other than prototyping but the lack of artboards on pixelmator forces me to do small things over there

+1 on this, will we help make social media carousel posts without any workaround like masking in rectangles or grouping layers

I wrote some Applescript for Pixelmator Pro that gives some similar export ability to an artboard. Check this out - it helps with social media exports of various sizes:
