icpaint PC

icpaint delivers a robust painting application for PC, blending design and illustration tools with advanced layer management. Artists layer drawings, vectors, text, and pixel art, applying 29 blending modes like Multiply or Overlay, while adjusting opacity, masks, and transforms. Canvas features include resizing, flipping, rotation, guides, grids, and clipboard integration, alongside saves in PSD, PNG, TIFF-even CMYK for print-or custom formats. Brush modes span Normal, Eraser, Mixer, and Smudge, with stabilizers, random variations, and ruler-guided strokes. Vector layers curve precisely with control points and gradients; pixel art limits to 254 colors for indexed animation in GIF or WebP; 3D models import via GLTF for realistic rendering and 2D transfer. Adjustment layers and 50 filters like Gaussian blur or Oil painting refine works, ideal for digital painters and illustrators seeking pro-level control.
