Overview

Features & Capabilities

iArtbook is a fun painting and animation studio for Chrome. It features unlimited animation frames, multiple layers, and masks, along with professional-level line smoothing powered by calligraphy tools like Line Delay, Rope Stabilization, and Correction. Any brush can become a smudge brush, and textured brushes (>1000 textures) enable rich, realistic strokes.

With Dry, Glossy, and three Wet brush types, a large brush library, two color pickers, a gradient mixer, and full Apple Pencil support (including Touch Force, Tilt, and Predicted Points), iArtbook delivers a versatile drawing workflow. Time-lapse recording is enabled by default, and you can export animations to MP4, HEVC, GIF, or APNG, import/export brushes and palettes, and learn by copying professional art through lesson modes. It also offers flexible interface options, left/right-handed layouts, and comprehensive layer and transform tools.

User Reviews

User feedback centers on a shift from a capable, beginner-friendly art app to a paywalled service. Many praise its brushes and ease of use before monetization and note an ad-supported option existed. But repeated complaints warn that essential tools and exporting/saving are now behind Pro, the monetization model is perceived as greedy, and prices for basic features are high. Overall sentiment is frustration, with some lingering praise for the initial drawing experience.
Pros
  • Good brushes and beginner-friendly drawing experience.
  • Ad-supported free access to many tools used to exist.
  • Originally had a robust free feature set and was well-regarded as a free art app.
  • Premium unlocks a cleaner, ad-free experience and expanded features.
Cons
  • Core tools and features are locked behind Pro paywalls.
  • Export/save, copy/paste, and other basics require payment.
  • Monetization shift is seen as greedy and degrades value.
  • Free experience degraded after updates; many useful tools disappeared from free tier.
  • High prices for essential tools (e.g., export or bucket tool) are repeatedly criticized.

OK! It’s a great app and it’s perfect for a lot of things BUT…Being unable to move your layers? Not very helpful . I hope it changes!

Okay this app was my first ever art app and it was great at first but now that I think of it, some things I don’t like. I mean don’t get me wrong it’s great you get lots of stuff for only $8.00 like all kinds of brush es, but overall if you don’t pay, there’s lots of stuff you can’t use. And the quality is very bad. Another thing is that the animation on this is supper glitchy and don’t even get me started on the bucket tool. 😮‍💨 It’s VERY bad and if its even close to the color it fills the whole thing. But I still like this app anyways but I rather something else.
