Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What is App for Paint?

    App for Paint is a comprehensive paint addon that lets you easily open Google drawing website in a new popup window. Within the UI there are 5 buttons at the right-side to enhance using the UI. An invert color button is also available to darken the paint UI for night time usage. Once you are done with your drawing, it can be saved to the cloud (Google Drive), or exported to your PC as png or jpeg formats. Google paint itself has a lot of features similar to the paint app in windows machine. It is very user friendly and all buttons and functions are self-explanatory.

  • 2. Why App for Paint is considered a lite addon?

    App for Paint is designed to operate similar to Chrome Apps. In other words, it opens in a simple and stand-alone popup window (as opposed to the toolbar-popup or sidebar), and once closed, completely clears-off and will not have any further background activities. Having this behavior, it is considered a very lite Addon and does not add any additional burden to your browser. Moreover, the popup has a built-in "Always-On-Top" feature which makes the window to remain always on top of other windows, enables you to do multi-tasking.
