About Simple Paint
Simple Paint runs entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to any server. Your drawings stay on your device. The autosave feature stores a backup in your browser's local storage so you can resume if you accidentally close the page. For a more kid-friendly version with rainbow brushes and stickers, try the Drawing Pad for Kids.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my drawing saved automatically?
Yes. Simple Paint autosaves your canvas to your browser's local storage every 30 seconds. If you close the tab and reopen it, your last autosave will be loaded. For a permanent copy, click the Download button to save as PNG.
Can I use this on my phone or tablet?
Yes. Simple Paint supports touch input on phones and tablets. Draw with your finger or a stylus. The canvas scales to fit your screen. For the best experience on a tablet, use it in landscape orientation.
Is there a way to change the canvas size?
The canvas automatically sizes to fit your screen width (up to 800px wide). The downloaded PNG matches the canvas size at full resolution. For pixel-precise work at specific dimensions, try the Pixel Art Maker which offers grid sizes from 8x8 to 128x128.
