About

DrawSimple puts painting, photo editing and vector drawing into one document, with every tool kept visible in a sidebar: brushes, clone stamp, paint bucket, lasso, magic wand, subject selection, text and WordArt. Layers can be pixel or vector, with blend modes, curves, levels and GPU effects. It covers everyday jobs like removing a background, marking up a screenshot, resizing and converting images or making a poster, without a heavy pro app. It opens PNG, JPEG, HEIC, GIF, TIFF and WebP and exports PNG, JPEG and WebP. Scripts and AI assistants can drive it through a local HTTP API and an MCP server, though it has no AI of its own. It works fully offline with no account or telemetry. Needs macOS 15.6 or later.
