User reviews

Users appreciate that the Paint Chrome extension is lightweight, effective on tablets, and includes useful features like text input and screenshot capabilities. It serves well as a successor to similar tools, offering smooth pen input without cursor offset. However, common issues include drawings disappearing upon page reloads or scrolling, limited compatibility with all websites or page areas, problems with shortcut keys especially impacting language input, and missing features like dark mode and eraser size control.

  • Includes text tool and screenshot capability
  • Allows cursor interaction with the page while drawing
  • Suitable replacement for similar discontinued extensions

  • Does not work on all websites or certain page areas, especially on very long pages
  • Shortcut keys have issues, especially with language input and accessibility
  • Lack of dark mode and other advanced features like laser pointer or customizable eraser size
