About this app

Convert your device into a digital sketchbook with more than 80 paint brushes, smudge, fill and an eraser tool. This fast and intuitive painting and drawing application will unlock the full power of your imagination. With support for pressure sensitive pens (like Samsung's S Pen) your device will be transformed into a real canvas.

Important: this is a free application with advanced features requiring a pro license in-app purchase. Single licence purchase will activate all devices associated with your Google account.

• High performance (GPU accelerated) paint engine
• Canvases up to 6144x6144 with 50 layers*
• Stylus pressure support
• Pressure simulation for touches
• 100+ brushes and tools (including smudge tool and gradient fill)
• Create custom brushes from imported images
• Selection and selection masks

• Material design inspired, fast, fluid, intuitive and accessible user interface
• Import and export supports PNG, JPG and PSD (Photoshop Document)
• NVIDIA DirectStylus support
• Palm rejection - no more accidental zooming and panning when drawing

*) depending on device and available memory
†) some devices are incompatible with pressure simulation and palm rejection


You can paint, sketch and draw with ease thanks to fast and fluid brush engine. ArtFlow aims to replace your physical sketchpad and become universal art studio type application for Android™.

I love artflow and have being using it for years. It's so much more user friendly that PSP, yet it still has so many useful features, like layering. However this last week, for some unknown reason, I've lost the ability to erase a layer. What's going on? Also, I can't find any dirty of option to update the app, or report an issue.

Constant crashing and lost work. I would spend hours on a base sketch and finally get lines and shading in for it to crash. At first it would just blip out and I would open the app back up and try to begin working again only for it to crash. This process repeats itself a few times until I open the app and the project I have clicked save every five minutes at most just ....poof....gone. does not exist. I bought this app and loved it for YEARS. But I have now cried for hours over lost effort.

It's a good app, im able to do everything i have to within the free version, although more layers would be nice, but i get it. my only real problem is that this will be the second time I've had to reinstall the app. it works fine for a while, but after some time, the brush just stops working. other brushes will work, but not with the chosen color, and it's barely visible (you have to squint). I've checked the opacity on everything, but it's fine. please help or just don't get if this bothers you
