## What is WigglyPaint's Fork?

Disclaimer: JigglyPaint is a fork of WigglyPaint, the open-source (MIT) drawing tool made by Internet Janitor. We are not Internet Janitor. The original lives here: internet-janitor.itch.io/wigglypaint

▣ Doodle Something. Watch It Wiggle. Export the GIF. ▣

JigglyPaint is a drawing app where the lines refuse to sit still. Every stroke you put down starts squirming on its own, forever, whether you asked for it or not. It's like your drawings are vibing to invisible music.

It's fine. It's just like that. That's on purpose.

You draw. It wiggles. You export an animated GIF. That is the entire app. There is no tutorial, because there is nothing to learn. If you ever lost an afternoon to WigglyPaint in a browser tab, you already know how this ends. \(°Д°)/

▣ WHAT'S IN IT ▣

• THE WIGGLE ENGINE
Every line animates itself the moment you draw it. No timeline, no keyframes, no rigging, no weekend course. A dead doodle becomes a living, breathing, jiggly mess in exactly zero clicks. The line has made up its mind and it isn't really listening.

• THE INFINITE REGRET MACHINE
Otherwise known as undo and redo. Made a mistake? Go back in time. Regret going back in time? Go forward again. Nobody has ever reached the end of it. (っ-_-ς)

• UNLIMITED COLOURS
WigglyPaint ran on one small fixed palette. JigglyPaint hands over the whole spectrum, plus named palettes you can save and reuse. Pick any shade you can imagine, then deliberately pick a worse one.

• ANIMATED GIF EXPORT
Export your wiggly drawing as a clean, looping animated GIF. Straight into Photos, into Discord, into a group chat where nobody asked for it.

• 10,000+ DOODLERS IN ONE FEED
Browse wiggly art from people all over the world without leaving the app. Some of it is genuinely beautiful. Some of it is a cursed frog. Both count.

• A PILE OF BRUSHES
Dynamic brushes and tools that each wiggle in their own way. Half the fun is working out which one does the thing you had in mind.

• SHARE IN ONE TAP
Save the GIF, send the GIF, post the GIF. Nothing leaves your device unless you decide to send it.

▣ WHY PEOPLE KEEP JIGGLYPAINT INSTALLED ▣

+ NO ACCOUNT — Open it and draw. No email, no password, no "confirm you are a human"
+ NO ADS — Not one. Not even a tasteful one
+ WORKS OFFLINE — Planes, tunnels and long car rides are prime wiggling conditions
+ EASY ON PURPOSE — Nothing to learn, which is the entire point
+ FREE UPDATES — New tools land regularly and cost nothing

Chunky pixel styling, big buttons, and a canvas that behaves like a toy instead of a workstation. Serious art software exists elsewhere and we wish it well. (⊙_⊙)

▣ ABOUT THE ORIGINAL ▣

JigglyPaint is a fork of WigglyPaint, the open-source (MIT) drawing tool made by Internet Janitor. It was renamed with the author's consent and has been developed independently since, adding unlimited colours, undo and redo, animated GIF export and the in-app community.

WigglyPaint came first and it is still out there: internet-janitor.itch.io/wigglypaint. Go play that too. Everything good about the wiggle came from there. The bugs we added are ours.

▣ GO MAKE SOMETHING THAT MOVES ▣

Your canvas is empty and quietly judging you. Draw one bad line and it will start dancing anyway.

If JigglyPaint made you laugh even once, leave a review. It genuinely decides whether anybody else ever finds this thing. (；ω；)

### 1/5 — 根本没法保存

*2026-07-28*

到底怎么保存啊？而且你就就不能做中文版吗

### 2/5 — Not worth it imo

*2026-07-28*

If you’re looking for something more than a simple doodle app, this isn’t for you.

The app is alright at best. When you first download it, theres no navigational help or tutorials (at least, none that I saw.) so you’re expected to figure it out yourself. Even if you go to the discord server, theres no ‘official’ guide there either.

Whenever you post anything, there’s no way to take it down or delete it off the community tab. Even if you delete the piece from your in-app gallery, it stays on the community page. 

Theres also no real ‘accounts’ (?). When you go to post something, you have to put in a user & a title for your work. The problem is that anyone can put any user in, even if it’s a user someone else is putting onto their work, which can cause obvious problems. 

The app is also not very phone-friendly. If you’re using a different device, your experience may be better. 

Overall, the app just isn’t worth $6. There are plenty of other apps that are probably cheaper that function better. I advise you not to waste your time & money.

### 5/5 — Some suggestions

*2026-07-25*

This app is great if not an improved extension of the program it was inspired by however I have some ideas the first is to add more tools like airbrush, watercolor, smudge/blending tool etc and also have the tools be able to have more than one color aside from that it is a great app and I am looking forward to it’s future! 🎨

### 4/5 — 선이 계속 끊기는 오류가 있어요

*2026-07-22*

앱 정말 잘 쓰고 있습니다. 다만 최근부터 선이 끊기는 오류가 잦습니다.. 선 한번 그으면 다음선이 안그어지고 팬 뿐만이 아니라 손으로 터치해도 안먹힙니다.. 조금 기다렸다가 다시 그으면 그어지긴 하는데 선 한번씩 그을 때마다 그러니 너무 불편하고 번거로워요 …
오류 수정 속히 부탁드립니다 ㅜㅜ

### 2026.8.19 — 2026-08-21

▣▣▣ YOUR ART, FRAMED ▣▣▣

Every GIF you make now gets its own gallery placard: a title, a date, a line of your own, and your handwritten signature. Share it and people see a framed piece, not a naked file.


▣ WHAT'S NEW

• A PLACARD FOR EVERY DOODLE
Tap the frame to name your piece, write a line, and sign it with your finger. It burns into the GIF when you share or save.

• COLOURS TAKEN FROM YOUR OWN DRAWING
The frame pulls its palette out of the picture itself, so no two shares look alike.

• POSTING WITHOUT REPEATING YOURSELF
Naming your piece and posting it to the community are one page now, not two.

• VOTE AND TALK WITHOUT LEAVING THE ART
Open a community piece and OO / XX and the comments are already there.

• SEARCH
Find anything in your own works or in the community feed.

• BUILT FOR THE BIG SCREEN
Grids, the splash screen and the detail page finally use the whole iPad.


▣ WHAT'S FIXED

• Export failing in the HTML5 tool.
• Re-editing an exported piece opening the wrong tool.
• The signature pad catching stray marks while you scrolled.
• Share doing nothing on community posts.
• Long waits when sharing a framed GIF.


▣ THANK YOU ▣

P.S. - The rabbit finally has a frame to lie down in. It still will not open its eyes.

### 2026-08-05 — 2026-08-10

▣▣▣ YOUR COLOURS, SAVED ▣▣▣

The big fix you asked for: your Quick Colours and saved palettes finally stick around. Tweak a colour, name a palette, close the app — it is all still there when you come back.


▣ WHAT'S FIXED

• QUICK COLOUR NOW PERSISTS
Change a swatch in the Classic tool — red to black, or anything you like — and it stays that way the next time you open the app.

• SAVED PALETTES STAY SAVED
Name and save your own colour scheme, and it survives an app restart now, right where you left it.

• GENERAL POLISH
Small stability fixes under the hood.

• NOW IN PORTUGUESE
JigglyPaint now speaks Portuguese too.
