PaintPal - Draw Together
Create art with friends live
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Real-time drawing with friends. Share a room link, pick a brush, go. Rainbow strokes, coloring pages, and optional video chat when you want to see each other.
PaintPal is the easiest way for kids to draw together.
Open the app, start a room, share the link. Your child and their friend are drawing on the same canvas, face to face, in seconds.
I built PaintPal because I noticed two things: kids love screen time and kids on video chat can be a little awkward. Give them a shared canvas and suddenly the conversation flows. They’re laughing, planning, creating something together. That’s the kind of screen time I want for my kids.
What you get:
• Shared canvas - draw together in real time
• Built-in video chat - see your friend while you create
• Coloring pages - beautiful outlines to fill in together
• Simple tools - 12 colors to draw with and an eraser. That’s it
• Save your art - download drawings to your photo library
• No ads, no algorithms, no strangers - just friends
What you won’t find:
No social feeds. No followers. No likes. No in-app ads. No data collection beyond what’s needed to make rooms work. PaintPal is a drawing app, not a social network.
Rooms are private - the only way in is with a link or room name from a friend. Perfect for playdates, cousins who live far away, or any time your kid wants to make something with someone they love.
Free to use. Optional premium coloring pages available as a one-time purchase ($2.99) to unlock everything.
PaintPal - because the best art is made together.
A couple of small but nice changes:
The rainbow brush is now the default when you start a new room. You can still tap to pick a regular color, but coming in hot with rainbow felt right.
Video chat is now opt-in. The camera stays off when you join a room - tap "Start video" when you actually want to see your friend. Faster to get into a quick drawing session, and we don't ask for camera permission until you need it.
