Key Features:

Save and Load Projects: Export your entire canvas state as a local project file (.dstudio) and reload it later. Perfect for backing up your work or sharing editable project files across devices.
Powerful Drawing Brushes & Eraser: Draw smoothly using adjustable brushes with multiple tip shapes (round, chisel, oval, square) and taper settings for dynamic strokes. Customize brush size, smoothness, and opacity. Use the eraser tool to easily correct mistakes.
Canvas Control & Navigation: Choose common canvas sizes (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, etc.) and change the background color. Toggle between Light and Dark mode for a comfortable drawing experience. Use the Hand Tool to easily pan around your canvas and use the zoom slider to focus on fine details.
Smart Vector Shapes: Create and edit a wide variety of shapes including rectangles, circles, triangles, stars, arrows, hearts, lines, and more. Adjust stroke width, stroke color, corner roundness, and switch between filled or outline styles. Rotate and duplicate shapes instantly.
Rich Text Tool: Add text with adjustable fonts, sizes, colors, and styles (Bold/Italic). Apply custom text outlines and drop shadows with blurs for depth, and align text perfectly (left, center, right). Drag, rotate, edit, and duplicate text directly on the canvas.
Image Composition: Import photos (JPEG, PNG, WebP) and SVG graphics by uploading or simply dragging and dropping them directly onto the canvas. Control opacity, rotation, scaling, layer order, and flip images. Duplicate images with a single click.
Layer Management: Easily control the stacking order of your artwork. Bring text, shapes, images, or the drawing layer forward or send them backward to create complex, perfectly arranged compositions.
Custom Color Palette: Select from preset colors or double-click any color in the palette to customize it. Use the custom color picker to find the exact shade you need for your brushes, text, and shapes.
AI-Powered Image Generation: Use your sketches as a starting point to generate stunning images with our "Scratch to Image AI", helpful for creative work and visual examples.
High-Quality Export: Download your final artwork as a high-resolution PNG file for sharing, printing, or lesson materials.
