Every line item is zero, the total is zero, and the one piece of fine print is printed rather than buried. Open a tab, hold up your hand, and a pinch of thumb and index finger draws — six brushes, an infinite canvas and full-resolution export, with nothing held back for a version that does not exist.
No account · no trial · no paid tier
The list below is not the free tier of something larger. It is the product, in full, and the only reason to enumerate it is that "free" has been used to mean so many different things that the word no longer carries information on its own.
"Free" usually describes a tier rather than a price, and tiers have a recognisable shape: the good brushes behind an upgrade, export at half resolution, a watermark across the middle that a subscription removes. None of that applies here, because there is no second version for those things to live in.
The tell is worth knowing generally, because it applies well beyond this page. In a free tier, the thing withheld is almost always at the end — the export, the resolution, the save. Tools are cheap to give away; finished work is the leverage. So the ten-second test for any free drawing tool is to make one throwaway mark and immediately try to get it out. You will meet whatever the catch is while you have nothing invested, rather than an hour later when you do.
Marker, Neon, Velocity, Rainbow, Mono and Sparks. None is reserved, and Velocity — the expressive one, where width follows hand speed — is not the paid one, because there is no paid one.
Neon, Sunset, Ocean, Y2K, Monochrome and Forest at eight colours each, with an HSV wheel behind them for anything else.
Hold the pinch still and a rough stroke snaps to a line, circle, ellipse, arc, triangle, rectangle or polygon. Grab a finished line and bend it. Undo lives in the session menu.
PNG at full size, lossless — not a downscaled preview with the real one behind a button.
MP4 where the browser can manage it, WebM otherwise, with a timelapse export at 2×, 3× or 5×. No recording-length tier.
Pan and zoom by gesture. No canvas-size limit that a paid version would lift, because there is no paid version to lift it.
Every free thing is free for a reason, and the reason is usually the most useful thing you can know about it — more useful than the feature list, because it tells you what will still be true in a year. Here it is not complicated.
Because this is how people meet it. Almost nobody searches for a tool that draws from a webcam, because almost nobody knows one exists — so the thing that has to happen first is that somebody sees a drawing being made in mid-air and wonders what it was made with. A price would stop that before it started.
There is no venture round behind this, no data business and no plan to convert a free base later. It is a small independent product, and the thing it needs most right now is not revenue — it is for the idea to be seen at all, because the category is new enough that people do not know to look for it.
That is a genuinely unusual position and it will not last forever, so it is worth saying plainly rather than dressing up as generosity. Right now, every person who draws something and posts it is worth more than a subscription would be. When that stops being true the honest thing will be to say so on this page, in these words, rather than to quietly move a feature behind a wall.
That is also the entire reason for the mark in the corner of every export. It is not a nag to upgrade — there is nothing to upgrade to. It is the answer to "what did you make that with?", written on the thing itself, and it is why the fine print is on the receipt rather than under it.
Every export carries a small getairva.com mark in the corner — images and video alike. Videos additionally end with a short card. No paid tier removes it, because there is no paid tier.
Nothing else is added to what you export, and nothing about the drawing itself is altered — the mark sits in a corner rather than across the middle, at a size chosen to be readable without being in the way.
That is the complete list. Nothing is downscaled, nothing is time-limited, nothing is watermarked across the middle, and nothing you make is held hostage to an account.
Two things that are not catches but are real, and belong here rather than buried somewhere lower: it needs a camera and enough light to see your hand, and it does not work offline — it loads like a web page. It also keeps nothing: there is no cloud and no project file, so closing the tab loses the drawing unless you exported it.
It is the right question to ask of anything free — most people have learned by now that if a product costs nothing, the payment is happening somewhere they cannot see. The answer here is structural rather than a promise, which matters, because a promise is only as good as whoever is running the company next year and a structure is harder to quietly reverse. The camera feed never leaves your device. Hand tracking runs inside the browser tab — a self-hosted model reading twenty-one points on your hand about thirty times a second — so there is no video on any server, which means there is no video to sell, share or lose.
There is also no account system anywhere in the product. No email is collected, no password exists, and nothing you draw is attached to a person, because there is no person record to attach it to. Usage analytics are anonymous, hashed events — enough to know that a page works, not enough to know who you are.
Worth being precise about what "anonymous" means here, since the word gets used loosely. Events are keyed to a hash rather than to you, there is no login to tie a session to a person, and nothing about the content of a drawing is recorded — the analytics know that a stroke happened, not what it was. The camera frames are never part of any of it, because they never leave the tab in the first place.
What cannot be promised is the future, and a page that promised it would be the least trustworthy thing on this site. What can be said is what is true now: no billing code, no accounts, no paid tier — and every file you export is yours on your own machine, which is the only guarantee that survives whatever happens next.
Still stuck? Open the canvas and try it — the thing answers faster than reading about it does.
Try it FreeActually free. There is no trial clock, no feature held back, no export limit and no upgrade page — and there is no billing code in the product, which is a harder thing to fake than a pricing page.
No, and you could not if you wanted to. There is no account system anywhere in the product — no email, no password, no sign-in wall at any point, including when you export.
One, and it is on the receipt: every export carries a small getairva.com mark in the corner — images and video alike — and videos end with a short card. No paid tier removes it. That mark is how people find the tool, and it is the whole of what is asked in return.
No, and the architecture makes it difficult to start. The camera feed is read inside your browser tab and never leaves your device, so there is no video on any server to sell. There is no account, so there is nobody to attach behaviour to. Usage analytics are anonymous, hashed events.
Nobody can promise you what a product does in two years, and a page that did would be lying. What can be said is what is true today: no billing code, no accounts, no paid tier, and every export you make is yours to keep whatever happens afterwards.
There is no other version. Six brushes, six palettes, shape snapping, sculptable strokes, an infinite canvas and a sixty-minute recorder are what the product is.
Everything above is free, the catch is one small mark in the corner of your exports, and there is no version of this page where that changes on you later.
