What Sketchable Plus is
Sketchable Plus is a Windows drawing app for digital artists that also supports note writing and image editing. Its single-document editor imports, exports, crops, trims and customizes a canvas. Up to 32 layers are supported, while the native Sketchable Document (.sda) format preserves layers, palette information and canvas textures; those files can only be reopened in Sketchable Plus. PNG, JPG, TIF and BMP files can be imported, and those formats export as flat images. PSD export retains layer information. Users can save and share tools and create up to eight custom presets per tool. DirectX acceleration supports real-time sketching on documents up to 4K. The app describes pressure-sensitive active-stylus input, touch gestures, keyboard shortcuts, stroke stabilization and basic color management. It is distributed through the Microsoft Store as a Windows application. The one-time price is 19.99 USD. The maker says personal information is not collected or stored, apart from anonymous crash-report information.
