It is relatively easy to use. > > **Cons**: It has limited features and not much support for third party features. This makes it limited to doing certain editing capabilities. > > It has been very easy to understand and Master with the understanding of vector graphics. ----- ### "Drawpad - A great Freeware graphic program" — 4.0/5 > **austin** | *11 September 2022* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: selecting sections of pictures and cutting/ copying and pasting them to new projects is the greatest....it makes image editing and creating a breeze...its easy to use and i like that the free program allows for a lot of this although i did purchase the Pro version > > **Cons**: not a lot of options of effects and things you can add to text or other objects you create. I would like to see more options are far as pre programmed image/object alteration > > i have designed several logos for my soccer team and my friends new business...as well as many flyers and posters for all kinds of events from tournaments to fundraisers to practice schedules ----- ### "My experience with DrawPad software" — 4.0/5 > **Alexandre** | *04 April 2021* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the things I like most about many software is the possibility of a free trial and DrawPad has this, this type of possibility opens up the possibility of knowing the software without the commitment of having to pay for it. In addition, DrawPad is also a nice and friendly interface software, simple and intuitive with a very low learning curve, but one of the things I liked most about the software was the way you can work with layers in it, as well as some tools for working with layers. it is simple and easy to assimilate, for me one of the strongest points. > > **Cons**: DrawPad has few negative points but what I can mention most relevant is the question of price, the software is a little expensive in relation to other competitors that have some better worked features, such as brushes that could be more complete, other than that the software does not have many defects. > > The overall experience is good, the learning curve of the software is small, that is, it is easy to learn and use the software, the price is a little high only, otherwise the software is good. ----- ### "Great drawing app" — 4.0/5 > **Jasmine** | *29 November 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how many features it has and how easy they are to use > > **Cons**: Some features don’t work as good as I would like them too > > Overall it’s a really nice drawing app ----- ### "Ideal for the creation of logos and other types of images." — 5.0/5 > **Gabriela Del valle** | *27 May 2018* > > **Pros**: It has a free trial version that we can download and use without any problem, I used version 4.0 and it went very well. It is very easy to use, the interface is friendly and the metaphors that it uses help me to select the properties that I should apply to my designs. I could also download it on my tablet and it was easy to manipulate even though I had already met it on the computer. I can save images in any format, for example: png, bmp, jpg, gif, pdf, or svg files. > > **Cons**: With this application I can not add professional effects to my photographs. My Internet connection is very slow so it was not the most appropriate, however, this software is lightweight and it would download quickly with a good connection. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/192743/drawpad?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/192743/drawpad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
