Features
A full studio on the water
A Metal fluid simulation under a complete drawing app: marble it, then layer, paint, adjust and export without ever leaving the canvas.
Shaping
Rake, comb and sweep the water
61 shaping presets in nine families — Styluses, Combs, Sweeps, Waves, Rings, Figures, Grains, Flow and Patterns. Tide, Shawl, Nightingale Nest and Peacock behave the way a real ebru needle does.
Colour
Any colour, one tap away
Disc, classic, harmony and history pickers side by side. Pull a hue off the wheel, keep every colour you have already used in reach, and set a layer background without leaving the canvas.
Palettes
1,200+ palettes ready to pour
Ottoman tilework, manuscript gilt, İznik blossom, pastels and modern sets — browse them as compact strips or full cards. Or extract a palette from any photo and pour with it.
Brushes
Real brushes over your marbling
144 brush presets across 23 categories: oil, watercolour wash, gouache, ink pen, palette knife, sponge, charcoal, airbrush, spraypaint, calligraphy and Islamic calligraphy.
Layers
Stack it, blend it
Layers without a ceiling, 41 blend modes, per-layer opacity and per-layer adjustments. The marbling stays live underneath everything you paint on top of it.
Effects
Noise, clouds and ridges
Procedural clouds, billows and ridges with scale, octaves and turbulence — plus curves, gradient map, bloom, halftone, glitch, chromatic aberration, sharpen and three blurs.
Transform
Move, scale, rotate, flip
Freeform or uniform transforms with snapping, 45° rotation, flip horizontal and vertical, fit to canvas and bilinear sampling. Nudge a layer until it sits exactly right.
Add
Text, photos and a palette from a photo
Add text, insert a file or a photo, take one with the camera, copy the canvas — or lift a palette straight out of a photograph. The image never leaves your device.
Gallery
Your gallery, any canvas size
Screen size in Display P3, Square 2048, 4K, A4 at 300 dpi, 4 × 6 photo, Paper, Comic in CMYK, or your own custom size. Every work is auto-saved and reopens exactly where you left it.
Made in Ebru
Painted on the water, on an iPad
Every one of these came out of the app — no photographs, no textures, no filters.
Pattern library
The classical repertoire and then some
Every traditional Ebru pattern is a real tool with its own sliders — not a filter laid over a photo.
Battal
Grains
The ground of every ebru: drops left to spread on their own until the whole tray is stone.
TideGelgit
Sweeps
A needle drawn back and forth across the battal, combing it into standing waves.
ShawlŞal
Combs
Tight S-curves raked through a tide until the surface folds like woven cloth.
Nightingale NestBülbül Yuvası
Figures
Slow spirals coaxed out of a comb, each one wound into the next.
FeatherYaprak
Figures
A drawn leaf: the stylus pulled through a drop to open its veins.
TulipLâle
Figures
The Hatip flower — concentric drops, then a single stroke through the middle.

A wide comb swept across a shawl so the eyes open along the whole sheet.
Marble Vein
Patterns
Thin veins threaded through the field, like fracture lines in polished stone.
Vortex
Flow
A rotating current that twists everything caught in it, with falloff you set.
Sand Grain
Grains
Fine speckle scattered across the surface for texture under the larger forms.

Get Ebru"Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design … the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size."
Tradition
The craft it comes from
Battal stone grounds, combed gelgit tides and Hatip florals — five centuries of Ottoman marbling, and the reference every tool in Ebru is tuned against.
Ebru is Turkish paper marbling: colour floated on a viscous solution called size, shaped on the surface, then lifted onto paper. The craft emerged in Greater Iran and Central Asia by the late 15th century and was refined in Ottoman Turkey. Every print is a unique monotype. The app brings the same craft to iPad and iPhone with a real fluid simulation.
