Siteboards for Adobe CCTools
Stop setting up the same artboards, comps, and parent pages, over and over.
Siteboards instantly generates perfectly-sized templates for social media and print—across Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, and InDesign—from a single, centralized database.
What it creates:
- Illustrator: Artboards with layer templates, safe zones, and guides
- Photoshop: Correctly-sized documents ready for design
- After Effects: Compositions organized by platform in folders
- InDesign: Master pages with automatic unit conversion
Why you'll love it:
- One click to generate TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn—and dozens more
- Automatic naming enforces consistency across your team
- Safe zones & bleed built right in (where applicable)
- Custom database support for your own specs
Perfect for:
- Social media managers juggling multiple platforms
- Agencies with strict naming conventions
- Designers tired of looking up pixel dimensions
Set up jobs in seconds, not minutes. One extension, (currently) four apps, complete consistency.
Part of the CCTools extension; Siteboards is unlocked when the key is entered in the free CCTools app. If you purchase a site license, we'll set it up for you so that your users will auto-validate and help you define your own apps script if desired. Contact us for site licensing quotes.
Just some of the back end artboards you can generate:
I'll continue to update and add to this list. And you can, if desired, use a personal apps script and spreadsheet to set up your own categories, or deploy one at the site level for all your users!
When you click create in Illustrator, your artboards will be labeled, safe-zoned, and the layer structure set up logically---complete with print turned off for guides , notes and safe zones!
Do the same in After Effects, and you'll get Comps---neatly arranged, named, and to your settings you've set in the extension:
In Indesign, you'll get Parent Pages:
And Photoshop will produce separate files each properly named (Artboard handling is a bit harder in Photoshop, so development to support them is ongoing; I have the creation of them figured out but not the dynamic sizing).
