Overview
PureRef is a standalone, lightweight application for organizing images, notes, and visual references. Version 1.11.1 (64-bit) continues its legacy of being an essential tool for artists, designers, and creative professionals. It runs on Windows (the -x64 denotes native 64-bit architecture), macOS, and Linux. F1 toggles the main menu (saving screen space)
Power User Tips & Hidden Hotkeys (1.11.1 Specific)
- F1 toggles the main menu (saving screen space).
- Shift + Drag to pan the whole board.
- Double-click the background to create a blank text note.
- Ctrl + Alt + Scroll changes the opacity of the background canvas (not the images).
- Middle mouse button pans instantly.
- S (Hold) is a "ten-foot view"—it zooms out entirely so you can see where you placed an image three weeks ago.
Version 1.11.1 introduced the "Smart Alignment" guides. When you move an image close to another, a purple line snaps to align the edges perfectly. To turn this off (if it annoys you), go to View > Snapping > Disable.
