Sketch. Paint. Enjoy.
KRESKA.art is a free drawing and painting app that runs seamlessly in any browser. It features a simple, clean interface, a proprietary painting engine, and a large collection of brushes, allowing your art to be truly unique and amazing, just like you.
Your painting almost draws itself.
Tracing with auto-color is magical!
The image you see below took roughly 30 seconds to draw over a reference image using a charcoal brush with auto-color enabled.
KRESKA.art elevates painting from reference to a whole new level. Tracing is made simple with a dedicated button to quickly display your reference. You can easily adjust the reference image opacity at any time using a slider. Additionally, it enhances color picking. Set your brush to automatically pick colors and instantly transfer reference image colors to your drawing.
Unclutter your screen.
Access your reference with a single tap.
A dedicated button instantly previews your reference image. Pressing the "peek" button displays your reference on top of your drawing with full opacity, releasing the button returns you to your drawing. This button also features a hidden function: pressing and moving towards the image activates a color picker, allowing you to quickly select colors from your reference image.
You also have traditional preview panel available if you like your reference to be present on your screen all the time.
160+ beautiful handmade digital brushes and growing.
KRESKA.art includes a large library of more than
160 handmade brushes, organized into 12 categories.
These include airbrush, basic round and square brushes
with
stipple variants, calligraphy, highly realistic charcoal, elements like flames, smoke and clouds, hair brushes
including fur and rake styles, halftone, inking, particles, pixel brushes for pixel art, sketching tools with
realistic pencil and crayon textures, and watercolor brushes focused on soft and light strokes.

The most advanced brushes available in any web drawing app.
Kreska features a proprietary drawing engine unique among web apps, enabling brushes that no other app can match. It supports brushes combining custom shapes with grain textures, each uniquely customized with over 50 parameters. Despite this advanced rendering, Kreska stays smooth even on older hardware.
Kreska brushes support pressure sensitivity and tilt. If you draw with a finger or a stylus without pressure support, you can use configurable pressure emulation. This option lets the brush size increase or decrease based on stroke speed.
Each brush can be used for drawing, erasing, or blending. You can also choose whether pressure controls the brush size or opacity. Every brush includes a stabilizer to help create smoother lines.
Besides adjusting brush size and opacity, you can set the minimum size for better control and personalization. Brushes also work with the auto color feature, which automatically picks colors from a reference image while you draw. All these options allow you to create thousands of unique looks.
Example of how a single brush can change visually with different brush settings.
Reshape and refine with the Liquify brush.
Push, stretch, and warp without losing a single detail. Transform expressions, shapes, and proportions in seconds while your lines stay crisp and your colors stay clean. From subtle adjustments to bold exaggerations, the Liquify tool keeps your style intact.

KRESKA.art supports some of the most popular gestures: two-finger tap to undo, three-finger tap to redo, four-finger tap to hide or show the interface, one-finger press and hold to open the color picker, pinch and rotate with two fingers to zoom or rotate your canvas.
KRESKA.art works on PC, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS, as well as on Android and iOS, both on desktop and mobile. It runs in Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Brave, and other modern browsers.
KRESKA.art is ideal for Chromebook users because it runs smoothly in any browser without installation, especially in Google Chrome, which is recommended. It includes all the features of a standard drawing app, making it perfect for classrooms where students can create digital art on shared devices or low-powered laptops without lag or setup.
Bring Your Creativity to the Real World
Why KRESKA's AR Feature Stands Out
Most AR (Augmented Reality) drawing
apps only let
you project images onto your camera feed, limiting you to basic tracing. KRESKA.art goes beyond that by allowing
you to use the live camera feed as your background, giving you a real-time preview of how your artwork will look
in the real world. You can trace over a static image or draw live with full access to KRESKA's tools.

With KRESKA's AR feature, your creativity is no longer limited to simple projections. You can interact with your surroundings in real time and see exactly how your ideas translate into reality.
Design tattoos with confidence by pointing your camera at your skin and previewing the perfect fit before making it permanent. Experiment with makeup using your laptop's camera to test colors and styles before applying them. Plan murals or graffiti by sketching directly onto a live camera feed of a wall, adjusting your design as needed.
The possibilities go even further. You can create patterns on clothing, map out decorations on furniture, or sketch blueprints onto real surfaces. Whether you are an artist, designer, or hobbyist, KRESKA gives you the power to bring your ideas to life with unmatched flexibility and precision.

In the underground software scene, "Empress" became a prominent figure known for successfully bypassing late-generation Denuvo protections when few other entities could. Bypassing Denuvo does not mean removing the code; rather, it involves creating a "bypass" or "emulator" that convinces the game's internal checks that it is running on a legitimately licensed system.
The term "anno.1800.crackfix-empress" refers to a specific type of fix or patch designed to resolve issues encountered with the Empress edition of Anno 1800. These issues can range from game crashes, performance drops, to problems with saving game progress. The term itself suggests a connection to cracked versions of the game, which are unofficial releases that bypass the game's DRM (Digital Rights Management) protections. anno.1800.crackfix-empress

URL API
If you own a website that hosts images and want to give your visitors a way to use them as drawing references, KRESKA.art is the perfect solution. This will not only engage your users further but also encourage them to revisit your site for more drawing inspiration.
Currently, Kreska.art lets you create custom links that include reference image URLs. This means you can create a link that will automatically load a reference image from your website or the internet directly into a new KRESKA.art drawing. Simply paste the complete image address into the "ref" parameter of the KRESKA.art app URL. For example:
https://kreska.art/app/?ref=https://kreska.art/reference/3.jpg
**Important Note:** The image address should start with https://, also the website where the image is hosted needs to allow for CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). If the image doesn't load, it means the server does not allow for opening images on other websites.
