Drawpile
Collaborative drawing for multiple people on the same canvas simultaneously
Drawpile is a free and open-source collaborative drawing application that allows multiple users to draw, sketch, paint, and animate together on a shared canvas in real time. It supports offline drawing, animation tools, and cross-platform use including Android, Linux, and Windows. The project is community-supported and actively maintained with regular releases.
Users connect to a shared session and draw on the same canvas simultaneously, with changes synced across all participants in real time.
