Crafter Draw
Crafter Draw — Fast private sketch/export utility

Quick sketches, kept private.

Crafter Draw is an Apple-native sketchpad for fast drawings, visual notes, markup, and simple export without accounts, ads, or tracking.

On the App Store since July 2026

Sketch and mark up without setup

Apple PencilKit tools

Draw with pen, pencil, marker, eraser, color, and stroke-size controls, with undo, redo, and a clear action that can still be undone.

One-image markup

Choose a single image through the system picker or file importer, add it behind your strokes, and annotate it without granting broad photo-library access.

Visible-result export

Share one flattened image containing the background, imported image, and drawing that you see on the canvas.

A real local drawing document

Save and reopen .tinydraw files

Crafter Draw uses a local document package for PencilKit strokes, canvas settings, and an optional imported image, so a sketch can be reopened and edited later.

Built for safe changes

Document loading preserves recoverable legacy stroke data, while clearing strokes leaves the imported image and background in place.

iPhone and iPad

The same focused workflow runs natively on iPhone and iPad, including Apple Pencil input where the device supports it.

The complete drawing loop stays free

Sketch, save, open, export

Core drawing, image markup, local document save and reopen, and baseline image export are available in the free download.

No unavailable upgrade promises

Crafter Draw does not currently advertise an in-app purchase. Optional repeat-use tools appear only when a real StoreKit product can be loaded.

Private by default

No account, ads, analytics, tracking, cloud gallery, or Crafter Apps backend is required for drawing documents.

Maker note

Why export matches the visible canvas

A quick sketch tool should not surprise you at the handoff. Crafter Draw flattens the background, one imported image, and PencilKit strokes into the result you can already see, while the local .tinydraw document preserves editable strokes for later. One format serves sharing; the other keeps the work alive.

Crafter Draw questions

Can I mark up a photo without full library access?

Yes. Choose one image through Apple’s system picker or file importer, then place strokes above it without granting broad photo-library access.

Can a saved sketch be edited later?

Yes. A local .tinydraw package preserves PencilKit strokes, canvas settings, and the optional imported image.

What does image export contain?

It creates one flattened image matching the visible background, imported image, and drawing on the canvas.

Is drawing behind a subscription?

No. Core sketching, image markup, local save and reopen, and baseline image export are free. The app does not currently advertise an unavailable paid upgrade.
