Artivate — Draw with Friends

Draw, paint, and collaborate live on iPad with Apple Pencil. Create solo or with friends, unlock pro tools, and bring your shared canvas to life.

Artivate is an iPad drawing and painting studio built for artists who want to start fast, make expressive work, and create with others on shared canvases.

Open the app and begin drawing for free. Sketch with pencil, ink with pens, block in ideas with markers, paint with watercolor and acrylic-style tools, blend edges, manage layers, and export finished artwork from a focused creative workspace.

Artivate is designed to feel immediate. You can start with a local canvas before creating an account, so the first experience is making art, not filling out forms. When you are ready to save work across sessions, build a profile, join the community, or collaborate with others, sign in and keep creating.

The brush system includes tuned tools for graphite, pencil, ballpoint, fineliner, brush pen, marker, highlighter, crayon, charcoal, pastel, watercolor, acrylic, airbrush, smudge, blur, eraser, fill, text, transform, and more. Brush size, opacity, flow, hardness, smoothing, and blend controls help each mark feel intentional.

Artivate also gives artists the structure they need to keep working: visual project thumbnails, canvas layers, reference images, text overlays, custom canvas sizes, color controls, safer autosave behavior, and export tools for sharing finished pieces.

Collaboration is the heart of Artivate’s premium experience. With Activate Pro or Studio, signed-in artists can invite others to draw together on the same canvas. Live cursors, faster remote stroke previews, shared sessions, chat, and voice support help creative work feel connected even when artists are in different places.

Use Artivate for everyday sketching, illustration, design brainstorming, remote workshops, class projects, community murals, portfolio-building, and creative sessions with friends.

Free includes local drawing, core layers, 3 saved projects, community browsing, and watermarked 1080p exports.

Activate Pro unlocks live shared canvases, unlimited projects, cloud-backed collaboration, no-watermark exports, 4K output, voice chat, and up to 6 collaborators per project.

Studio is built for bigger creative sessions with up to 20 collaborators, 8K exports, expanded mural access, and workflows for classes, teams, and larger projects.

A Lifetime Artivate Unlock is also available as a one-time option for artists who prefer paid feature access without a monthly subscription.

Artivate is more than a blank canvas. It is a creative workspace for drawing, painting, organizing, sharing, and making art together.

Art, Activated.
