P: Please add a Pencil Tool for Photoshop on iPad

Community Beginner ,
Aug 20, 2025 Aug 20, 2025

I belive the IOS version of Photoshop should include a brush that does not automatically appy anti-aliasing. The pencil tool on desktop is a good example, or simply the ability to turn off the spray of semi-transparent pixels that hoarde around the edges of my every brushstroke. Be it through a checkbox or a true "100% Hardness".

 

All my work has been with aliased lines, meaning that I downloaded the app only to find out it was funtionally useless to me. I knew not all features would be accesable on mobile, but the pencil? I implore you to consider adding this age-old feature to mobile so I can enjoy creating in Photoshop on the go!!

@joshua_0807 This question threw me off because there is a Pencil Tool exists in Photoshop for desktop (Windows and macOS), and has for a very long time. Essentially, you want the specific anti-aliased, hard-edged line capability that is a hallmark of the desktop version? You may want to post this in the 'Idea' section, or the Photoshop for the Ipad' section

Pencil! on iOs version. we NEED a pencil. No brush is truly hard. Makes the app useless to me.

   I am part of a large comic community and finally realized why no one uses Photoshop.
