Built by artists, for artists.

A fast, native canvas built for the way you actually work — serious tools, a calm workspace, and it's free to paint.

Free to paint — Pro ($9.99, one-time) unlocks unlimited layers.

The Paintform brush library beside a wolf illustration

A brush for every mark.

A full set ready to go — or import your own and build custom ones in Brush Studio.

The Paintform layers panel and stabilization controls

Stack it up, smooth it out.

Unlimited layers, blend modes and clipping — with stroke stabilization for clean lines.

Perspective and symmetry guides in Paintform

Guides that do the hard part.

Perspective, symmetry and shape guides your strokes snap to — no ruler required.

Reference images pinned around the canvas in Paintform

Pin references, jot notes.

Import references around your canvas — no second window — and scribble notes as you plan.

The Liquify tool reshaping an illustration in Paintform

Push paint like it's still wet.

Nudge, smear and reshape anything — warp a whole shape without redrawing a stroke.

And the essentials

The details, sweated.

GPU-fast engine

A Metal-powered engine that keeps pace with your fastest strokes.

Stroke stabilization

Streamline smoothing for clean, confident lines.

Puppet warp

Pin, bend and pose — reshape any shape with a mesh warp.

Perspective tools

1-, 2- and 3-point perspective guides — strokes snap straight to them.

Save & export

.pform keeps every layer intact; flat PNG when you're done.

A real Mac app

Native and Metal-fast — no Electron, no web wrapper, no bloat.

+ many more!

Free to paint. Pro when you want more.

Every brush, Liquify, Puppet Warp, guides, references, PSD import and PNG export — the full painting app is free, up to 3 layers. Go Pro for unlimited layers, watermark-free time-lapse and transparent export.
