Less friction. More making.

From “what if”
to “look at this.”

A few thoughtful tools. A whole lot of possibilities. Keep your attention on the thing you came to make.

01 / TAKE IT WITH YOU

Your work shouldn’t
stay on your canvas.

Export SVGs for free. Keep your drawings scalable, save them to Files, and share them with your next project.

Free SVG export, built in.

02 / A DIFFERENT STARTING POINT

Every PDF is
a new possibility.

Bring in a PDF page, choose the quality, and draw above it on separate layers. A reference, a rough idea, a starting point. Make it your own.

Import. Layer. Create.
PDF import dialog with page selection and resolution controls
03 / ROOM TO CREATE

Turn your phone.
Open up your canvas.

Draw on iPhone in portrait or landscape. Turn it sideways for a wider view, with scrollable drawing tools on the left and quick controls on the right.

Small screen. More room for your ideas.

Follow your hand.

Sketch with touch on either device, or Apple Pencil on a compatible iPad. An idea doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth drawing.

A little room to play.

Separate your ideas with layers. Undo, redo, and try that other direction.

Pick up where you left off.

Save your project on your device and return when inspiration does. No account required.

Good questions

A few things
you might wonder.

Can I export SVG files for free?

Yes. SVG export is unrestricted in Paintlustrator. Save your artwork to Files or share it directly from your iPhone or iPad.

Can I import a PDF?

Yes. Choose a PDF page and its import quality, then use it as a reference beneath your drawing layers. PDF import does not automatically convert the original page into editable vectors.

Is Paintlustrator available on iPhone?

Yes. Paintlustrator is free on iPhone and iPad, with touch drawing, layers, PDF reference import, and free SVG export. No subscription or account required.

Does it work with Apple Pencil?

Yes, on compatible iPads. On iPhone, draw with touch. Organize your artwork with layers, and use undo and redo as you go.

Do I need an account?

No account or sign-in is required. Projects are saved locally on your device. Export a copy to keep a backup.
