Pen Tools

The Draw popover, six presets, lasso and stylus settings.

Tools

  • Pen, Pencil, Highlighter — draw vector strokes
  • Eraser — remove strokes
  • Lasso — loop around strokes to select them, then recolour or duplicate

Snap to shape

Rest the pen for about half a second at the end of a stroke and a line, circle or ellipse, rectangle or triangle replaces it. If Tala is not sure what you drew, the stroke is left alone.

Zoom

Pinch with two fingers (or Ctrl + scroll) to zoom a page. Strokes keep their on-screen thickness and stay sharp at any zoom, because they are vectors.

Apple Pencil

Browsers do not expose Apple Pencil double-tap or squeeze, so Tala does not offer them.
