Marble Bath

Marble paper on a virtual water bath - drop, rake and comb real Ebru patterns with gestures, flowers and classic recipes, razor-sharp at any size and re-editable as a layer.
Extension

Real paper marbling on a virtual water bath - the living art of Ebru, computed with exact mathematics.

Marble Bath brings the centuries-old craft of Ebru to a virtual water bath. You do not apply a marbling filter, you actually marble: drop ink onto the water and every earlier drop yields into a ring around it, hold to let a drop grow, drag to trail it across the surface. What forms is the real thing, built the way marblers have always built it.

Then you work the bath. Draw a single flowing line with the needle, pull the whole surface into feathered ripples with the comb, sway it into chevrons with a wave, or plant a vortex that winds the colours around themselves. Ebru flowers bloom under your hand – a tulip, a carnation, a daisy, their petals raked out of concentric rings on a leafy stem. A gall drop opens clear water inside the pattern, and classic recipes like Stone, Nonpareil and Peacock give you a marbled ground to keep working over.

Because the whole bath is exact mathematics rather than a simulation, the picture stays razor sharp at any export size, and the ink behaves like real pigment: a darker rim gathering at each drop’s edge, faint clouds drifting inside it and stretching as you comb. It drops in as a re-editable generator layer, so you can reopen it any time with every gesture still in place and still undoable. Everything is computed in your browser, with nothing uploaded and no account.

Features

You actually marble

Drop ink onto the water and every earlier drop yields into a ring; hold to grow a drop, drag to trail it. The bath responds the way a real marbling tray does.

Features

Rake, comb and swirl

Pull a needle line, comb the surface into feathered ripples, sway it into chevrons or plant a vortex. Every gesture is one move in the bath's history, and undo simply forgets the last one.

Features

Ebru flowers and gall drops

Plant a tulip, carnation or daisy raked out of concentric rings on a leafy stem, then turn and size it before it sets. A gall drop opens clear water for cells and windows in the pattern.

Features

Exact, sharp and re-editable

The whole bath is computed mathematics, so it stays razor sharp at any export size and reopens as a layer with every gesture intact. Recolour an ink and the finished marbling recolours with it.

Frequently asked questions

You really marble. You drop the ink and rake it by hand on a virtual bath, and the pattern is built from your own gestures, exactly as traditional Ebru is.
Yes. The bath is exact mathematics with no simulation grid, so the marbling renders razor sharp at any size you export.
Yes. It drops in as a re-editable layer with the full gesture history, so you can reopen it, undo moves and recolour the inks any time.

Add Marble Bath to your editor.

It comes with the Pro plan, updates included, and supports the continued development of the free open-source editor.

Free

Chaos Art

Autonomous painters make one-of-a-kind abstract art in 3D space - gestures, art movements, painterly media, and embeds that paint a new original for every visitor.

Pro

Particle Strokes

Paint with swarms of light: twenty-two movements, a stamp you draw yourself, and curves that give a stroke a shape - the swarm keeps painting for a few seconds after you let go.

Pro

City Diorama

Any place on earth as a miniature you could hold: real streets, water and building footprints raised into a 3D diorama - or wrapped around a sphere as your own tiny planet.

Free

Papercut Art

Layered paper pictures with real depth - a photo sliced along its actual depth into up to twenty layers, parametric landscapes, animals and clouds you can shape, letters with real counters, and a look that runs on three dials.

Pro

3D Earth Studio

A hyperrealistic globe - day and night with city lights, live clouds, atmosphere halo, country borders and highlights, click-to-place markers with flight-route arcs, satellite orbits, seamless rotation video and a live website embed.

Free

Mystic Studio

Turn a birth date into wall art - a real natal chart with houses and aspects, the moon of that night, zodiac and Chinese zodiac posters, numerology cards and a synastry wheel for two, in eight artful themes.

Marble paper on a virtual water bath - drop, rake and comb real Ebru patterns with gestures, flowers and classic recipes, razor-sharp at any size and re-editable as a layer.

Free

Day Ring

Turn a day into a beautiful circular schedule - colour-coded time blocks as arcs around a 24-hour clock, with concentric rings for overlaps, emoji, templates and a legend.

Free

Code Shot

Turn code into a gorgeous, share-ready image - syntax highlighting, editor themes, window frames and diff highlighting - then drop it into your design as a re-editable layer.

Pro

3D Solar System Studio

Build a date-accurate 3D solar system - real planet positions for any date, photoreal textures and one slider from artistic to true scale - then drop it into your design as an editable layer.

Pro

3D Molecule Studio

Build a real 3D molecule - from a curated library, the periodic table or a SMILES string - then style it, measure it and drop it into your design as an editable layer.

Pro

3D Textile Studio

Drop your design onto cloth that behaves like the material you pick: silk falls soft, felt holds its shape, flag fabric snaps in the wind. Hang it, blow it and drape it, then lay the finished drape back into your document as a picture.

Pro

3D Particle Studio

Point the engine at any layer and it becomes a cloud of particles that keeps its colours, flowing through a sphere, a galaxy or your own outline. Keep the frame you like as a still, or embed the running engine so it keeps moving on your page.

Free

Origami

Put your own picture on the paper and watch that very sheet fold itself into a crane or a box. Every step is a station you can stop at and turn around in 3D, which is exactly where printed diagrams leave you alone.

Pro

3D Flip Studio

A hardcover you can leaf through, a limp magazine, a strewn pile of sheets, a sticker peeling off its backing. The curl is real geometry, so the print never slides across the paper.

Free

Handwriting Fonts

Draw the alphabet here or fill in a printed sheet and photograph it. What comes out is a genuine font family, installed into your site and available in every picker.

Step Guides

Turn any picture into an instruction. Every mark is pinned to a place in the image, so arrows still point at the right thing after the callout has been dragged somewhere else.
