Rindraw vs Infinite Painter
Compared in October 2026. Both apps change. If something here is out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.
Infinite Painter is a capable painting app with a deep brush engine, for less money. Choose Rindraw if you want to bring Procreate or Photoshop brushes with you, keep your drawings as files on all your devices, and change lines after you've drawn them. Stay with Infinite Painter if you draw on Android, or love its brushes and tools as they are.
The main difference
Infinite Painter is a bitmap painting app2: a stroke becomes pixels, though you can turn a stroke into an editable shape1. Its projects live inside the app on each device, and you export them one at a time to move or back them up2.
Rindraw keeps every stroke as the path your Pencil took, on every layer and with any brush, so you can recolor a line, bend it or export the drawing bigger and it stays sharp. Your drawings are files, in iCloud Drive if you like, so the same library is on your iPad, iPhone and Mac.

Where Infinite Painter is better
- Price. $9.99 against Rindraw's $12.99, and you can keep drawing on the free version with its limits1.
- Android. It runs on Android phones and tablets and on Chromebooks2. Rindraw doesn't.
- Its brush engine. Each brush has about 100 settings to tune, and there's an online library of brushes shared by its users2.
- Shapes and perspective. Strokes that turn into editable shapes, and rectangles and circles dragged in perspective1.
Where Rindraw is different
- Bring your brushes. Procreate brushes and brush sets and Photoshop
.abrbrushes come in, with their tips and grain. - Every stroke stays a stroke. Not only shapes: sketches, inks and painting, with their texture. Recolor them, warp them or export them poster-size.
- Your drawings as files. Kept in iCloud Drive if you like, the same on iPad, iPhone and Mac. Every stroke is saved as you draw it, and your undo history is still there after you close the app.
- A real Mac app. Menus, keyboard shortcuts and pen tablets with tilt and the eraser end, in the same purchase.
Moving from Infinite Painter
Export each project from Infinite Painter as a layered PSD1, then open it in Rindraw with AirDrop, the share sheet or the Files app: its layers come in with their names, opacity, blend modes and masks. Your Infinite Painter brushes don't carry over, but Rindraw comes with its own and imports Procreate and Photoshop ones. Step by step: moving from Infinite Painter.
