The immersive sketching and ideation canvas for visual thinking and creative flow.
Paper by WeTransfer is a premier digital ideation platform built specifically for the iPadOS and iOS ecosystems. Its technical architecture is centered around a proprietary, high-performance ink engine that leverages Apple’s Metal framework to achieve near-zero latency, mimicking the tactile feedback of physical media. Unlike traditional raster or vector illustration software like Procreate or Illustrator, Paper focuses on the 'flow' state of creative work, utilizing a 3D journal interface that organizes projects into physical-style notebooks. In the 2026 market, it stands as a critical tool for Lead AI Solutions Architects and UX Designers who require a low-friction environment for rapid wireframing, mood boarding, and visual logic mapping. The tool integrates seamlessly with the WeTransfer ecosystem for cloud-based asset delivery, while maintaining a minimalist UI that eliminates 'menu fatigue.' Its 2026 positioning emphasizes 'Human-AI Collaboration,' where hand-drawn sketches serve as the ground-truth input for generative AI workflows, bridgeable through high-fidelity PDF and SVG exports.
