Selecting a background

When you open JIT Paint, the background submenu will load automatically. Here, you can choose between a blank page, a template, or a photo background. Simply click on your preferred background to apply it to the canvas. 




Drawing

On the left-hand side of the page, you’ll find the paint tools. These include brushes, textured paint, shapes, and more to help bring your artwork to life. 



Using textured paint

The textured paint feature in JIT Paint allows you to add depth and dimension to your creations. Click on the small roller icon in the bottom-right corner of the textured paint button to choose from a range of texture styles.






Selecting colours using the dropper/colour selector

The dropper tool allows you to select precise colours from a colour wheel or match any colour already used on your canvas.
To use it:

  1. Click on the dropper icon.

  2. A colour wheel submenu will appear.

  3. You can either:

    • Select a colour from the wheel, or

    • Hover over a colour on your painting and left-click to pick it.

  4. Click OK to set the selected colour as your active paint colour.




Adding characters from the image libraries


JIT Paint offers a wide range of image libraries such as Animals, Dinosaurs, and more. To browse different libraries, click on the library title to open a dropdown menu.

You can also add images from:

  • Your own My Files

  • Shared Files

  • The Internet

  • A device camera (Take a photo)

Once you’ve selected an image, it becomes a stamp. You can then resize, flip, and position it before clicking to place it on the page.




Saving your painting

JIT Paint offers three saving options:

  1. Save (working file):
    Click the traditional save icon (top left) to save your work in an editable format. This allows for future editing.

  2. Save as a Stamp:
    Click the Save as Stamp button (top right). This removes any white background and saves your artwork as a new stamp in your "My Stamps" library.

  3. Save as Image:
    Click the Save as Image button (top right) to save your artwork as a flat PNG image. This version is not editable.

All saved files will appear in the My Files area of the user.
