SANSA Fresco is a digital painting and drawing studio that runs in your browser. Its signature feature is live brushes: watercolor that blooms and bleeds into wet paper, and oils that smear and mix like real paint. Combined with pressure-sensitive stylus support, layers and blend modes, it feels like a real medium — not a mouse toy.

Fresco includes pixel brushes for sketching and inking, smudge and mixer tools, a full color picker with saved palettes, and canvas textures. Work with an Apple Pencil, Wacom, or any pressure stylus on a touch device, or draw with a mouse — the engine adapts.

Export high-resolution PNGs or layered project files, and continue in SANSA PH for compositing. Free with a SANSA account, in Tamil and English.

Looking for a free online Adobe Fresco alternative? SANSA Fresco runs at app.sansaai.in/studio/fresco — free, in your browser, with a bilingual Tamil + English interface.

SANSA Fresco is part of the SANSA AI suite — a connected workspace where SANSA PH, Vector Editor, SANSA Animate and dozens of other tools share one account, one asset library and one bilingual interface. Open SANSA Fresco directly at app.sansaai.in/studio/fresco, sign in with a free SANSA account, and your work syncs across every device you use. There is nothing to download, no trial countdown and no watermark on your output.

Frequently asked questions

Is SANSA Fresco free?
Yes, painting, layers and export are free with a SANSA account.
Can I use my paintings commercially?
Absolutely — everything you paint is yours, with no license restrictions from SANSA.

SANSA Fresco covers the core Fresco experience — live watercolor/oil brushes, pixel brushes, layers and stylus pressure — free and in the browser.

Privacy & security

SANSA AI is built privacy-first. Wherever technically possible, SANSA Fresco processes your files directly in your browser, so they never leave your device. When a feature does require cloud processing (such as AI operations or cloud document sync), data travels over encrypted HTTPS connections, is used only to perform the operation you requested, and is never sold, shared with advertisers, or used to train third-party models. You can delete your cloud documents at any time from your SANSA account.
