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.

Features (some functions require pro license):
• 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
• Layer clipping mask
• 10 layer filters (HSV adjust, brightness & saturation, color curves and more)
• 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™.

This app is fantastic, been using it for over a decade as my on-the-go art / photo editor app. But it could use some layer organizasion features and a bit better file organization and viewing tools. I'm working on a comic series and its becoming very very cluttered and disorganised due to lack of sorting and quality of life folder options.

This has been my go to sketching app for a few years now. The paid version is cheap, works like a charm and is nice and lean with a few minor quirks. It's easy and fast to import and export as psd to send to a more robust program for retirement. The biggest drawback: no folders, and no selecting multiple layers at the same time. I could get so much more done before exporting. If they add that in the future, i'll gladly change to a five star rating!

This drawing & painting app is full of features and is one of my favorites. I use several, but this one is in my top tier, and I am thankful I found it. I don't understand complaints about a paywall. This is a nice piece of software, and nothing is truly free. You have options to watch ads to unlock a feature for a time if you don't want to purchase the license outright. I hate wasting my life watching ads. Ads ≠ free. It was six dollars for the pro license, which seems very reasonable to me. 🙂
