hello kleki! i been using your website for almost 3 years my art has inproved alot and iwanna say thank u

[egnogg]

I just wanted to thank you kleki for being such an amazing thing to make art on, and also IN A BROWSER! I have never been able to afford an actual computer, so I have been stuck using my school chromebook, and you have been such an amazing tool in my art journey. ❤❤❤

kleki is the best thing since sliced bread, a drawing i made ON THERE is my youtube profile picture, but the only thing that they need to add, and it's crucial, is a LASSO TOOL. Please, if anyone who is remotely related to kleki sees this, PLEASE ADD A LASSO TOOL!!! you don't know how much it helps when you're drawing something, especially professionally. Kleki is basically the only thing i have to draw, since I'm on a chromebook, so it would be a GREAT help. thanks!

THIS IS SO HELPFUL I just found out about Kleki like 20 mins ago and im in love, my computer doesnt have enough storage to download anything and since its a browser website THERES NO NEED :D

man, I love the fact that you made it free and donation-based, legit a real life saver for a school project. I love how simple you made it, so now even I can learn the basics of drawing and the stabilizer is awsome if I draw with a mouse over all 10/10 a masterpiece I can't donate it, but if I publish it I will try to give you as mutch credit in as possible so people can donate. :D

Wow, I use this site fairly often and this even introduced me to a few features I've never tried before. I just wanted to say thank you for the great work and I would be happy about more tutorials. Keep up the excellent work! :)

[AkemiRosales-mtwu]

I’ve been hoping Kelli adds a feature where you can create your own brushes! It would be very helpful for people who are drawing complicated scenes, and comics/stories!

How come kleki isnt used by popular artists? This is underrated! We need to make this popular!

I would love to make this the only website I use but I would so love if you could make a slicing option where we can go around a area and that area will be in a box and we can move that area in the box or copy it so we could paste it and move that one.

I love this program and all but for the love of god ADD A LASSO TOOL. Even ms paint has a lasso tool of some sorts. 😭😭 Cool features and all, but supply us a feature that will be used by all artists.

[Kloxbyn]

That was great. You'll do more advanced tutorials in the future?

[Jinnkx]

My issue is that I can't figure out how to get the layers visible over each other without having to make it less opaque

[platinumbalis]

hello kleki! i've been drawing on your website for 4 years, thank you and it would be awesome if you could make it a downloadable program

[livinqlovelyy]

I'm mostly a mobile user so I use ibispaint x but I like this app too

[jellyfish..topia_]

Kids at my school use this on the school iPads and I didnt even know most of these-

[The_HP_Medic]

been using this website for about a year now, wanted to say thank you for giving me an outlet for my creativity that doesnt lag my computer! <3

[BaoMyLeNguyen-eexc]

Hi Kleki, I very like your drawing website. But can you guys add the lasso tool, and also auto save like put it in the gallery on the web.
Idk why but I accidentally lost my art for no reason, so can you add "auto save in gallery"

[SpecialNeedsChamp]

If you ever see this comment please make an animation feature it's been hard to find animation websites for free anywhere! Hopefully that future will come soon as I also love to animate and draw. Please make that a future if you can please and thank you. ❤❤🙏🏽 And if someone out there is a website developer I hope you can design a free website like this but for animation purposes for free like literally straight to the point on the web browser.

For Windows users, if Windows Ink is not enabled in your tablet settings, pressure sensitivity will not work.

bro when i was there on kleki i saw that when i was drawing, and tried to store my drawing for my new oc, it says can't access so i think its hacked, not underrated, broken, or banned cuz idk
