What is Astropad?

Astropad is a comprehensive ecosystem of hardware and software solutions designed to bridge the gap between the iPad and desktop computing. Built by a team of former Apple engineers, the platform solves the limitation of mobile devices by transforming the iPad into a professional-grade drawing tablet and secondary display. Its core capabilities include the proprietary LIQUID technology, which ensures ultra-low latency and high-fidelity image quality during screen mirroring. The tool fits perfectly into the workflows of digital artists, designers, and photographers who require the precision of an Apple Pencil within desktop applications like Photoshop or Illustrator. Beyond drawing, the suite includes Luna Display for wireless screen expansion and Astropad Slate for using the iPad as a giant trackpad. This versatility makes it an essential choice for creatives looking to maximize their existing hardware investments.
