Bantam Tools Hatch™ is a photo-to-drawing tool that transforms everyday photos into beautiful SVG line art, ready to draw with real pens on real paper using your Bantam Tools drawing machine or another .SVG compatible pen plotter. Choose from four distinct drawing modes and three color modes to control how your image is translated into lines, marks, and color. Crosshatch Build tone and depth with layered intersecting lines, turning photos into richly shaded pen drawings. Squiggle Use flowing, wavy lines to create playful drawings with a distinctly algorithmic feel. Pixel Turn photos into bold pixel-art compositions, translating tonal detail into structured, dithered patterns. Stipple Build images from clusters of short dots and marks, creating texture, shading, and detail through density. Hatch is designed for an intuitive, visual workflow. Adjust your image, explore different drawing styles and color modes, and export clean SVG artwork ready for your Bantam Tools drawing machine or another compatible pen plotter. From photographs and portraits to experimental generative compositions, Hatch makes it easy to move from pixels on a screen to physical drawings on paper.

Clio Infinite Paint is a painting app with an infinitely zoomable canvas. Paint a flower, zoom into a petal, then paint a garden inside its pixels. Keep adding detail, or zoom out and make room for another idea. PAINT AT ANY SCALE Sketch with graphite, paint with watercolor and oil, or use crayon that catches on the paper grain. Your finger and Apple Pencil can hold different tools: draw with one and smudge with the other. BRING YOUR PHOTOS Add photographs to your canvas, paint around them, and combine pictures at wildly different scales. Turn a collection of photos into a continuous zoom. RECORD AND SHARE Record a journey through your canvas as a video, and share it. Add whatever music you're listening to, or narrate into your microphone. SIMPLE TO START An interactive tutorial introduces the tools and gestures. Free, with no ads, subscriptions, in-app purchases, or accounts. Your artwork stays on your device unless you choose to export or share it. No analytics or tracking. Made for iPhone and iPad.
