Write handwritten notes, create immersive artworks, explore ideas visually, and connect everything in one continuous space. Deliberately simple yet powerful and incredibly fast, it feels as natural as pen and paper—without the limitations of physical media. Whether you’re a student organizing notes, an artist exploring large-scale compositions, or a team lead mapping out complex ideas, Endless Paper adapts to the way you think and communicate visually. HIGHLIGHTS • A truly infinite canvas • Ultra-crisp, vector-based drawings at any zoom level • Move, resize, and duplicate content using a powerful lasso tool • Convert images into clean, zoomable vectors with vectorization • Create vast canvases with minimal storage usage • Export high-resolution images, PDFs, and videos with automatic zoom • Publish your canvas as an interactive website • Drag and drop images, PDFs, and even websites from other apps • Adaptive bullet grid that responds to zoom level • Bookmarks for fast navigation across large canvases • Organize multiple canvases in a cohesive gallery with versioning • Customizable color themes and dark mode • Broadcast a live view of your canvas to the web • Unlimited undo and redo • Continuous autosave with an integrated archiving system • Designed to minimize errors and cognitive load • Powered by Fractile, a Metal-accelerated 64-bit vector rendering engine DRAW BEYOND THE FRAME Endless Paper enables a new form of long-format visual storytelling.

Explore canvases by professional artists directly in the app and discover what’s possible when scale is no longer a constraint. Build a lifetime of work into a single evolving universe—without compromising the tactile feeling of traditional drawing and painting. A SPATIAL WHITEBOARD FOR COMPLEX THINKING Never run out of space again. More importantly, Endless Paper lets you organize ideas spatially. Zoom into details, then pull back instantly to see the full structure of your work. There are no artificial document boundaries. Every tool works consistently at every level of scale, allowing you to think freely without managing files, pages, or layers. DESIGNED FOR IPAD AND APPLE PENCIL The custom Fractile rendering engine delivers ultra-crisp vector graphics at up to 120 fps—even with millions of strokes on screen. Canvases containing years of work open instantly, creating a fluid, uninterrupted creative experience that feels almost unreal. SUBSCRIPTION Endless Paper includes a free experience. Some advanced features require a subscription. SUPPORT Reach us anytime at support@endlesspaper.app or through the in-app “Email Us” option.
