SpeedyPainter

Fast, lightweight painting application for Windows.

Visit SpeedyPainter

SpeedyPainter is a free painting program for Windows designed for sketching and digital painting. It provides a lightweight environment with an expressive brush engine, a reference view that follows canvas movement, and tools for recording and replaying the drawing process.

The brush engine supports shape, texture, scattering, color dynamics, and pressure-sensitive size and opacity. A reference view stays aligned with canvas movement, while process recording captures the full drawing sequence for replay or video export. Layer tools include multiple layers, selections, crop, gradients, canvas rotation, and mirror tools. The application is OpenGL accelerated and available as both an installer and portable version.

SpeedyPainter is aimed at artists who sketch and paint digitally on Windows. It is offered as a free application with no account required, and the current release is version 3.6.6.
