SketchPad is a very sleek free web based application meant for making paintings and drawings online. This free online painting tool is quite similar to other free image editors, like, Paint.net.
SketchPad works on HTML5
SketchPad has been developed by ColorJack. Since the new version of all the major browsers are powered with HTML5; you can open highly rich internet applications such as SketchPad through the browser without installing plugins or costly authoring tools. With HTML5 which works without plugins, you will be free from the worries of problems that you may face when important plugins like Adobe Flash crash.
Some of the features that you can find on SketchPad are as follows:
- A basic tool set that includes drawing and painting items such as brush, eraser, color filler, text, color picker, etc.
- You can use different layers for sketching, shading, coloring, etc. By means of the different layers, you can modify any particular area of the painting that you want to edit whenever you want.
- You don’t need to navigate through the menus to access features and tools. Instead, you can use Pen tool to select tools and features directly from the interface.
- When you click on the Save button, you will be able to save it in PNG format. It also helps in sharing your creations online.
- The emailing feature allows you to send a sketch to others directly from sketch pad in 3 different formats (jpeg, png, tiff.)
