We encourage you to report ads with offensive content by clicking on the icon in the top right corner of the ad.

Q
I can’t access Google Drive directly from the app.
A
Due to Google's recent policy change, access to Google Drive from third-party applications has been blocked. We are working to resolve this issue, but cannot say for certain when there will be a fix available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Q
My app is laggy and slow!
A
While MediBang Paint is a lightweight software, there are still certain circumstances under which it will slow down. If you use a large size for your canvas, have many layers on your file, use a high Correction setting for your brushwork, or do not have enough storage space on your device, sometimes the app will lag. Putting a heavy load on your device can sometimes cause the application to crash. Please keep this in mind while working. 
Q
I uninstalled the app and it deleted all my work!
A
When it comes to the mobile (Android/iOS) versions of MediBang Paint, if the data is not stored on a cloud service, any local files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled. Files that were stored in the cloud will automatically sync upon logging into your MediBang Paint account, but there is no way of restoring local files that have been deleted. Please take note of where you have saved your work before uninstalling MediBang Paint for any reason.
Q
The iOS app crashes each time I open My Gallery.
A
We're sorry to hear you're having trouble using the My Gallery function. To start with the troubelshooting, please open the iOS Files app on your iPhone or iPad. Click "On My iPhone/iPad" select the "MediBang Paint" folder, proceed to "local_save" and you will find all the mdp files that are stored under "My Gallery". Please temporarily transfer these mdp files in "local_save" to another folder of your choosing, and try opening the app once more.   If the application no longer crashes, a corrupted mdp file may have been the source of the error.  If you move the uncorrupted mdp files back to the previous "local_save" folder, you will once again be able to access the files normally.  Once again, we are sorry for the inconvenience.
Q
If I can’t draw at all on my canvas, what settings should I check?
A
Please check the following settings.
  • The "use pen pressure" setting is disabled.
  • Palm rejection is disabled.
  • You have not selected text layers.
  • You are not using faint colors on bit layers.
