Home / Drawing app for Surface Pro
A drawing app made for the Surface Pen
The Surface Pro is a lovely place to draw, if the app keeps up. Limner reads the Surface Pen through Windows Ink, pressure and tilt, and is built to run smoothly on the tablet's integrated graphics.
Pressure and tilt through Windows Ink
Limner reads the Surface Pen natively: pressure and tilt, mapped through per-brush curves, with a stabilizer, taper, and inking correction for clean lines. No extra driver beyond what Windows already provides.
Built to run on a fanless tablet
Heavy studios can choke a thin, fanless device. Limner is designed to run well on modest hardware, down to Intel integrated graphics, so painting, panning, and zooming stay responsive on a Surface Pro rather than stuttering.
A full studio, not a sketch toy
- Layers with blend modes and non-destructive masks.
- Editable vector line art, frame-by-frame animation, and multi-page comics in one document.
- Opens and exports layered PSD, imports Photoshop
.abrbrushes, and records a 4K timelapse.
Works with the keyboard and mouse too
Drop the Surface into laptop mode and the Type Cover and mouse work as expected. A mouse alone is fine to start if you are still deciding on a pen.
