Tools for drawing and painting
The Brush is the main tool: set its size, opacity, hardness and smoothing, and with a stylus it responds to pen pressure. The Pencil draws hard pixel lines for pixel art and outlines, the Airbrush sprays soft color that builds up, and the Eraser removes. Fill pours color into an area, with tolerance and expand settings so fills tuck neatly under anti-aliased line art. Gradient paints linear or radial blends for skies and backgrounds. Line, Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon and Star draw clean shapes, and the Text tool adds lettering.
Layers for cleaner artwork
Work the way digital artists do: sketch on one layer, ink on a second and color on a third below the line art, so you can fix the colors without damaging the outlines. There is no limit on the number of layers, and 17 blend modes, such as Multiply for shading or Screen for light effects, help you build up a painting. Lock a finished layer to protect it, hide one to compare, and merge or flatten when you are done. Undo goes back up to 80 steps, fewer on very large canvases.
Painting on a tablet, Chromebook or phone
Everything runs in the browser, so Paint Studio works on school Chromebooks, iPads, Android tablets and phones as well as on computers. Pinch to zoom on a touch screen, and go up to 3200% for detail work. Apple Pencil and other styluses give pressure-sensitive strokes where the browser supports them. It is simple enough for kids to doodle with and complete enough for adults to sketch and paint. Your work is autosaved in the browser, so an accidentally closed tab isn’t a disaster.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. The painting app runs in your browser as soon as the page loads. If you like, you can install it as an app from the browser menu for quick access and offline use, but that is entirely optional.
How do I save my painting?
Use Save project in the File menu to keep a .paint file with all layers, so you can continue later. To share the picture, click Export and choose PNG, JPEG or WebP; you can also save a layered PSD. Unsaved work is autosaved in your browser too, unless the document is extremely large (more than about 192 megapixels across all layers and masks).
Is it suitable for kids?
Yes. There are no ads, no accounts and no chat or sharing features, so children can draw freely. The Brush, Fill and shapes are easy to understand, and Undo fixes any mistake. On a tablet, painting with a finger or stylus feels natural.
Can I change the canvas size?
Yes. Choose Canvas size… in the Image menu to make the canvas bigger or smaller, with an anchor that decides where your painting sits. You can also start a new document from the File menu with your own dimensions, up to 8000 × 8000 pixels, or about 16.7 megapixels in Safari on iPhone and iPad.
