Paint with living colors. Abstractor lets you create flowing, generative art where every stroke moves, breathes, and surprises. Let imagination take form.
ABSTRACTOR: PAINT WITH GENERATIVE MAGIC
Unleash your vision with Abstractor, a poetic drawing app for iPad and iPhone, crafted for artist explorers and playful creators. Paint with infinite possibilities, where every stroke pulses with generative magic.
FLOW BRUSHES: THE HEART OF CREATION
Dive into the soul of Abstractor with flow brushes, where particles swirl like living liquids, leaving hypnotic trails across your canvas. These dynamic tools respond to three unique velocity maps:
• Stroke Paths: Your gestures carve flowing rivers, guiding particles along vibrant trails.
• Image-Driven Flow: Import an image to shape a velocity field, infusing brushes with textured, directional energy.
• Algorithmic Soul: Add generated noise or patterns to give particles a distinct character—turbulent storms or gentle ripples.
Tune particle behaviors in real time, sculpting their essence like a visual composer. Blend these maps to create mesmerizing, emergent patterns that surprise and inspire, making every stroke a performance.
Colors shift with stroke angle, pressure, or speed, weaving emotion into every line. Use familiar layers or bind tools to them for tailored magic. Paint over a color source layer, pulling hues from imported images to craft radiant distortions—flow brushes shine here, warping visuals into dreamlike abstractions.

Abstractor is such a unique and crazy cool painting and even more than that, application. It totally lives up to its title of creating abstract artwork and really anything you want to create really. The way the effect brushes splash and move paint across your canvas is just bliss in my opinion. There is nothing else like this app on the App Store I don’t believe. Sure, there are some great painting apps like Procreate, which, I love as well. But nothing is quite as crazy cool as Abstractor. It approaches creating art in a very different way I think. You have the motion effects brushes, some more normal brushes, you can customize your canvas size which I love, cool blending effects, and other options to just create really unique and amazing artwork in my opinion. Many thanks to the developer of Abstractor for creating and offering a one-of-a-kind artwork/painting/effects application. You can also do crazy stuff to your photos, I forgot to mention that. So rad! But, again, thank you so very much to the developer on giving us something that no other painting app offers as far as I know. That hard work and time put into this application no doubt is very much appreciated. Thanks for all of that and God bless.Used on:iPhone 13 Pro MaxiPad Pro 13 inch (2025) (M5)iOS 26.5
Love the app.

Updated*Having the one time price now makes it awesome, super different than other creative drawing, digital art making apps. It’s easy to get started and you can get lost just playing with it. Recommend to try it out. & Thanks!—Now it’s a one time fee which is actually great but the fact I’ve put in more $ than that on this app and am now bumped down to the free version is 👎 I was able to continue using the premium version for a while after they switched to the one-time payment but I don’t use this app all the time so coming back to it a few weeks later and now i am asked to purchase it. If I’d only spent $2 total during the subscription or something than I wouldn’t mind paying the full price but that’s not my case. It’s a fun app but can’t get over that.

Refreshing twist on brushes. Would be awesome to have a little more control, leveraging Apple’s Pencil. Kindly check out PaintStorm and investigate how you can assign functions to the stylus. Just one example configuration I made is when holding it at different angles of incidents to the screen, I can vary the hue (I like because it gives more variance like a real paintbrush). Few drawing apps are taking advantage of the Apple Pencil’s features. I am a product developer myself. This could put you a leap ahead if you can make assigning the Pencil functions a little more user-friendly than the aforementioned program, I’m confident artist will see the power in these features!! In fact how you implemented your brushes already remind me of it!You’re already thinking in that direction! … and why I wanted to encourage you!In the meanwhile, thank you for the awesome app!! And one time purchase price!! I’ve been a longtime fan and will continue to support!! So keep up the awesome work and hope to see more development! Your app is on the path to being one of the best. I’ll certainly share with my art circles to help support. Best! BillFromBuffalo

H Hey Billy, thanks so much for your kind review—it’s really encouraging! (And sorry for the late reply.) Customizable Pencil controls such as inclination, azimuth, and pressure would definitely be a neat addition, and I’ll keep that in mind for future updates. If you have more suggestions, feel free to reach out through the in-app email—I’d love to hear them. Thanks again!

Thanks! I’ve made a lot of improvements since the Gestuo / Dripr days, and I’m just getting started — lots more cool stuff on the way!
Performance improvements for a faster, smoother painting experience.
Motion Layer Magic lets you paint invisible guides that make particles flow like water, wind, or smoke. Create living animations where every stroke influences the next.
Flow Brushes now work with motion layers for evolving, dynamic artwork that builds over time.
Advanced Flow Controls show particle movement in real time so you can fine-tune how they drift and dance.
Strong Blend Mode adds bold, vivid colors that pop with intensity.
Color Source Layer lets you pull colors from any imported image for radiant, fluid effects.
Global Presets make it easy to reuse brush settings across layers or customize each one individually.
