Questions before you start.
Do I need an education plan to draw?
No. The local painting, pixel art and animation tools are free. Education access is a separate reviewed program; optional online AI features use credits.
Is every application automatically approved?
No. Submitting an application does not activate benefits. Approved access has a defined period and credit allowance, shown in the education workspace.
Can a class use Chromebooks?
PaintLasso works in supported modern browsers, including browsers available on Chromebooks. School device policies, performance and stylus support vary. Test the workspace on your own devices first.
Who can create a student account?
Student self-service is for people who meet the minimum age of 13, or the higher minimum in their country, and have the required permissions. This release does not support accounts for children under 13. Review the privacy policy and terms before classroom use.
Where should students save their work?
Local projects stay in the browser on that device. Export important images and source projects as backups, especially on shared devices or devices whose browser data is cleared.
Draw over a webpage while you teach
Try PaintLasso Annotate in one lesson. The free Chrome beta lets you highlight instructions, draw arrows, and switch back to using the page.
