Tokyo, Japan — December 17, 2025 — Wacom today released a new Android update for the Wacom MovinkPad
series that introduces ibisPaint X as a pre-installed app and deepens
the integration between Wacom Canvas, Wacom Shelf, and ibisPaint X — one
of the world’s most popular illustration platforms — enabling creators to move
seamlessly between sketching, editing, and managing their artwork.
Wacom’s MovinkPad
series continues the company’s vision of portable, all-in-one creative pads for
drawing anywhere. The series includes the Wacom MovinkPad 11, introduced
in mid-2025, and the Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14, launched in October. These
standalone pen displays combine Wacom’s signature pen technology with a
built-in Android environment to deliver a complete, PC-free drawing experience.
On both devices, users will
be able to open sketches created in Wacom Canvas directly in ibisPaint X
or view ibisPaint X project files within Wacom Shelf. Wacom Shelf now
supports IPV, the native ibisPaint X format, in addition to JPG, HEIC,
PNG, CLIP, BMP, WEBP, and TIFF, allowing users to browse and organize their
creations more intuitively. These improvements reflect Wacom Canvas and Wacom
Shelf optimization for ibisPaint X, designed to make creative workflows
even smoother.
With over 500 million
downloads worldwide, ibisPaint X stands as one of the most recognized digital
art apps globally.
ibisPaint
X will be added with the
latest Android update on the Wacom MovinkPad 11, while MovinkPad Pro
14 users can update ibisPaint X, Wacom Canvas, and Wacom Shelf
through Google Play.
“With the integration of
ibisPaint X, the Wacom MovinkPad series will expand to enable even more diverse
creative experiences,” said Koji Yano, Senior Vice President, Creative
Experience Unit at Wacom. “By connecting Wacom’s creative ecosystem with
vibrant art communities around the world, we believe we can offer new
opportunities and possibilities for creative expression to even more people.”
The update also introduces
a complimentary 180-day ibisPaint Prime Membership for all Wacom MovinkPad
users — both new and existing — giving them access to the full range of Prime
features available through ibisPaint X. The Prime Membership removes
ads, expands cloud storage to 20 GB, and adds access to vector tools, exclusive
Prime Materials, apply Canvas Papers, Prim Fonts, and advanced filters such as Tone Curve and Gradation Map —
letting users explore every detail of ibisPaint X right away.
With ibisPaint now
available on the Wacom MovinkPad series, users can enjoy a more intuitive and
liberating creative experience than ever before,” said Yuka Inoue, Section
Manager at ibis inc. “We believe this freedom—to draw whenever and wherever
inspiration strikes—will further expand the possibilities of artistic
expression. We’re also truly delighted to support creators on their creative
journeys.
This update reflects
Wacom’s ongoing commitment to supporting everyone who loves to draw — from
beginners exploring digital art to experienced illustrators seeking a portable,
all-in-one device that adapts to their style and workflow.
