You'll need to download models from Draw Things' servers first. The free version won't generate anything until those downloads finish.
Draw Things runs AI image generation entirely on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. No internet required once you've installed the models. Privacy stays intact — everything happens locally on your device. You craft prompts and watch images appear in minutes without sending data anywhere.
The infinite canvas feature lets you expand images endlessly. Start with a portrait. Stretch it into a landscape scene. Fill empty spaces with new elements. Transform existing photos into animation styles or completely different aesthetics.
Picture this: you're a concept artist working on character designs for a game studio. You could use the Try It On feature to prototype different outfits on your characters, then train a custom LoRA model locally to maintain visual consistency across variations. Generate dozens of iterations without worrying about cloud storage limits or internet connectivity during client presentations.
Image-to-video capabilities turn static creations into moving clips. LoRA training happens directly on your device too — something most mobile AI tools can't handle. The free plan covers basic generation and infinite canvas work. Draw Things+ costs $8.99 monthly and adds cloud compute with increased limits, though you'll still want the local processing for sensitive projects. Community accounts offer free cloud hours but you're back to depending on internet connections.
Recent updates boosted performance on newer MacBook Pro and iPad Pro models.
