Inktica Free vs Pro: what's included

Everything you can do in the free version of Inktica, what Pro unlocks, and how to restore Pro on a new phone.

Last updated: Oct 19, 2026

Inktica is free to download and has no ads. Every drawing tool, animation, palettes, Lospec downloads, importing and exporting to PNG, GIF, MP4 and sprite sheets are free. Pro raises the limits on canvas size, layers and frames, and adds tools for bigger projects.

Plans

Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. You can see the prices in the app. Some plans start with a free trial, and the app shows how long it lasts before you subscribe. One subscription works on all your devices when you sign in with the same Inktica account.

What happens to drawings over the free limits

Your drawings are never deleted or locked. If a drawing has more layers or frames than the free version allows, for example after a subscription ends, Inktica shows Limits exceeded when you open it. Choose Continue with limits to keep editing your existing layers and frames. You just can't add more.

Restore Pro on a new phone

  1. In the gallery, tap ⋮ and choose Settings.
  2. Tap Sign in and use the same account as on your old phone.
  3. If Pro still doesn't show, tap Restore purchases.

Still missing Pro or your earlier limits? Contact support with the email address of your Inktica account and we'll sort it out.

Manage or cancel a subscription

Open Settings and tap Manage subscription, or manage it from your App Store or Google Play account. Cancelling stops the next renewal and Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
