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

• 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)

• 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™.

Pretty good drawing app, however: 1) Drawing tools randomly stop drawing, restarting app/ phone doesn't help. thought it was tied to an ad cus it happened after watching the ad, but after reinstalling the app it randomly occured again while I was just drawing. 2) There's no option to paste PNG into your project. 3) There's an "export" option upon clicking the three bars while you're on a project, but there is no "import". The import is only visible when clicking the plus button in the gallery.

UPDATE JULY 2025: The app just got an update. I’m updating my review to 4 stars, hopeful that the developer will keep improving it, because this app truly deserves to keep going. UPDATE: The app hasn't been updated since 2023, and the developer doesn't respond any emails. The website and social media accounts haven't had any news for years, so unfortunately, the app has been abandoned.

My go-to drawing app. My only complaint (and this is quite a large complaint) is that when zooming in and rotating on a drawing, the aspect ratio will occasionally stretch as I'm trying to zoom in. There seems to be no way to permanently lock the aspect ratio, so the app occasionally thinks I'm trying to stretch the drawing, instead of just zooming in.
