Our verdict on ArtFlow

ArtFlow is a drawing and painting app for Android phones and tablets, aimed at solo artists who want a mobile sketchbook with more than basic brush tools. It combines brushes, smudge, fill and eraser tools with stylus pressure support, including Samsung S Pen. The GPU-accelerated painting engine is paired with layers, selection masks and image adjustments, making the app relevant to painters who want to work on detailed pieces on an Android device.

Canvas capacity is a notable part of its appeal: ArtFlow advertises sizes up to 6144 × 6144 pixels, though the practical maximum depends on the device and its memory. It supports PNG, JPG and PSD import and export, along with layer clipping masks, selection tools, HSV adjustment, color curves and custom brushes made from imported images. That combination gives artists room to work with layered files and tune images inside the app, rather than limiting it to quick sketches. Its Android-only availability is a clear boundary for people who want to move between mobile and desktop or use an iOS tablet.

ArtFlow is free to start, but the free version has a limited tool set, three layers, limited undo and no PSD export. Some advanced features require an in-app Pro license; the published information does not state its price. This split matters for buyers whose workflow depends on layered file export or a fuller tool set: they should account for the paid license before making the app their main workspace. For Android painters who prioritize pressure input, large canvases and PSD workflows, ArtFlow is a focused option; those seeking cross-platform work or full functionality in the free version should look elsewhere.
