Create a canvas

Choose an artwork size. New artwork replaces the current canvas.

Up to 8.4 million pixels, 16 layers. Save your existing artwork first.

Export your artwork

Choose a final image or a fully editable layered format.

Layered project files may be large. Browser downloads cannot confirm that you saved the file.

Digital Painting Studio guide

Brushes: choose a tool and drag on the canvas. Pen pressure is supported when the pointer provides it; otherwise enable simulated pressure. Chalk and spray are procedural brush textures.

Layers: select, rename, hide, lock, duplicate, flip or reorder layers. Use blending and opacity in the inspector. Move and flip tools change the active raster layer; pixels moved beyond the canvas edge are clipped, and Undo restores the prior layer.

Navigation: wheel to zoom, H or Space+drag to pan, B to paint, I to sample a color, V to move the current layer, Ctrl/Cmd+Z to undo, Shift+Ctrl/Cmd+Z to redo, Ctrl/Cmd+S to save a project. Escape cancels an in-progress stroke.

Exports: PNG, editable PixelOkay JSON and OpenRaster .ora. 16 layers and 8.4 MP canvas maximum. Project restoration requires sufficient browser memory.

Restore local painting

Restoring replaces the current canvas. Save a project file first if you want to preserve current edits.

Paint, sketch and create layered artwork in your browser

PixelOkay Digital Painting Studio is a privacy-conscious browser painting workspace featuring pressure-aware brushes, textured chalk and spray, brush sizing, stroke stabilization, adjustable opacity, color picker, movable painting layers, compositing blend modes, symmetry guides, zoom and canvas rotation. Export your painting to full-resolution PNG, portable OpenRaster format, or a native layered project for further editing.

No account or upload is required. Browser recovery uses local device storage when available, and file exports are initiated only by the user. This is a raster painting editor, not a vector illustration or professional color-managed printing system.

Using Digital Painting Studio

Choose a brush and canvas size, paint on the selected layer and use supported pressure, stabilization or symmetry controls. Arrange or flip layers, then keep native JSON for editing and export PNG or OpenRaster for sharing.

This is raster painting without PSD, vector paths, editable text, CMYK/color profiles, imported brush images or cloud collaboration. Canvas, layer, bitmap and history budgets apply. OpenRaster blend/color appearance can differ across paint apps. Pen pressure, multitouch and browser recovery depend on the device and browser; export JSON for portable backups.

Workflow and output choices for Digital Painting Studio

Paint on a bounded raster canvas with supported brushes, layers and symmetry or stabilization controls, then save an editable project or export the merged artwork.

PNG is a flattened image, while the native JSON project keeps supported editing state. OpenRaster packages layer images and stack information for exchange; blend appearance can differ between applications.

Example workflow

  1. Choose a canvas size and brush, then make a few marks on a selected layer.
  2. Try a supported symmetry or stabilization setting and reorder or flip layers.
  3. Export a PNG for the merged image and save JSON or OpenRaster when you need editable layers.

Authored example: Sketch a fictional leaf using a base wash and a detail layer. Compare an exported PNG with the separated layers in an OpenRaster package; this authored exercise is not a brush-performance test.

Limits and handling: This is raster painting, not a PSD/vector editor. Canvas, layer, bitmap, project and history limits apply. There is no CMYK/profile workflow, imported brush-image library or cloud collaboration; pen pressure, multitouch and recovery depend on the browser and device.

Digital Painting Studio questions

Can I continue the painting as a Photoshop PSD?

No. The supported editable formats are the PixelOkay project and OpenRaster; PSD export is not provided.

Will OpenRaster look identical in every painting app?

Not necessarily. Applications may interpret blend and color behavior differently, so review the result in the target software.
