Pick-to-Draw: Photo Palette

About Pick-to-Draw: Photo Palette

Pick-to-Draw turns any photo into your personal color palette — then gets out of your way so you can draw.

How it works
Pick a photo from your gallery. Pick-to-Draw instantly extracts the most prominent, distinct colors from it and builds you a custom palette. Then draw — every stroke uses colors that belong to your image, so your artwork always feels cohesive and inspired.

Two layers, one canvas
Work like a real artist. Rough out your ideas on the Sketch layer first, then trace over them on the Ink layer for clean final linework. Toggle between layers in a single tap — both are always visible at once.

A toolkit that stays out of the way
- Pen — draw freely with adjustable thickness
- Eraser — clean up without losing your work
- Fill — flood-fill any area in one tap
- Eyedropper — sample any color already on canvas
- Custom colors — mix your own RGB color and add it to your palette
- Undo / Redo — step back and forward through every action

Reference image overlay
Keep your source photo visible as a transparent overlay while you draw. Adjust its opacity to see exactly as much or as little as you need.

Background removal
Remove the background from your reference photo in one tap — so your palette and linework focus on the subject, not the clutter behind it.

Advanced palette control
Fine-tune how colors are extracted: set palette size, adjust color merging sensitivity, boost vivid colors, or hunt for subtle accent tones. You're always in control of your palette.

Projects
Save your work as named projects and pick up exactly where you left off. Your canvas, layers, palette, and reference image are all preserved.

Save to Gallery
Export your finished artwork as a full-resolution image directly to your photo library.

Light & Dark mode
Fully supports system light and dark themes.

Whether you're a hobbyist, manga artist, portrait painter, or just getting started, Pick-to-Draw helps you create art inspired by the world around you.
