Sketchable Documentation

Sketchable is the Wiqis drawing app. These guides cover everything from your first stroke to exporting a finished piece, on Android and on the desktop.

Pick a topic from the sidebar to get started.

Start here

  • First time? Starting a drawing covers the canvas size and the infinite canvas.
  • Want the right brush? Tools and brushes lists all six and what each one does.
  • Working on something with depth? Layers is where Sketchable stops being a single flat page.

What Sketchable can do

  • Draw freehand with six brushes, and shape strokes with rectangles, ellipses, polygons and lines.
  • Work on an infinite canvas, or a fixed document sized for a screen, a post or a print.
  • Build up a drawing in layers, with per-layer opacity and ten blend modes.
  • Drop in text with your own fonts, styling and shadows, and images from your gallery.
  • Select with a rectangle or a lasso, then move, rotate and resize what you caught.
  • Save, undo, redo, and roll back to any of the last eight versions.
  • Export to PNG, JPEG, WEBP, PDF, or a Sketchable file you can import again.

Your drawings stay on your device. Sketchable has no cloud sync, so a drawing does not follow you to another phone or computer. Use Export to move your work by hand.
