**About “1BitPencil”**
1BitPencil is all about a **high-resolution 1-bit (black & white) canvas**.
Even the ultra-realistic pencil tool draws in pure black and white.
It’s a high-resolution monochrome drawing app, perfect for **illustration, manga, animation, and school notes**.
With a uniquely realistic pencil tool, 1BitPencil aims to recreate the feeling of drawing on paper in a fully digital environment.
You can flip through pages and switch between files quickly, just like turning pages in a sketchbook.
The app supports work up to **A3 size at 2400 dpi**, and exports your artwork as **single-color PNG files**.
There are no layers, but you can use tracing, clean-up, and merge functions for essential editing.
If you’re looking for a **simple yet high-quality drawing environment**, 1BitPencil offers a fresh and focused creative experience.
