About Kleki

Kleki is a paint tool that runs in the web browser. It opens straight into a canvas, so you can sketch or paint without installing software or creating an account first.

It suits casual drawing, quick sketches and doodles on any computer or tablet with a modern browser, and people who want a simple painting app rather than a full desktop image editor.

Strengths

  • Runs in the browser with nothing to install
  • Opens straight into a drawing canvas

Limitations

  • Browser only
  • Fewer features than a desktop painting program
