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™.

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.

I love Artflow, i love using it to sketch. Smooth lines, accurate spen pressure. Just one missing feature I find so frustating is it's not compatible for split screen window in my Samsung Note8 or any samsung im guessing. Please have this feature implemented! It would be perfect as the app can be used for multitasking in phones while watching youtube or browsing the internet. Would give 5 stars if this is implemented. Otherwise, i would have to find an alternative to this.

I used to love this app, but I've just spent the last 5 hours trying to draw my Christmas card image and had the app crash every time I tried to add a layer, select anything, merge layers, or just have the temerity to draw for a little too long. Having paid for the pro version, this is frankly annoying and I'm now debating if I can save it out to finish in another app or if I'll have to start again from scratch. Either way, Artflow has become completely unusable.
