How To Use Freeform App Tutorial For iPad and iPhone

[@captivespirit]

As a very early digital pro photographer and designer (print ads & web), this is awesome. Just began using it for a landscape refresh project DH & I are working on before the hellish desert summer heat arrives. Perfect for showing him where all the components go (as he does the heavy stuff) that we're repurposing: many large planters we've had for decades, moving key groupings to new, better positions. Also great so I can keep track of what I'm planning (so many places to refresh in our yard), how each piece will relate to others around and nearby and what we might need to buy (like lots of potting soil, lol) or some plants we'll need to plant in pots for accents. Have no pencil compatible iPad yet so restricting this project to using the shapes only but so many and it seems to work really nicely, very intuitive to plan for each area with various shapes and colors. Thank you so much for the tutorial, really great. Now if I can just figure out why some of my duplicated simple shapes show "+" signs yet other duplicated shapes do not, I'll just about have Freeform whipped (dupes bc design repeats groups of 3-5 different styles/colors planters for cohesive look). Love learning great new tools like this one & your tut was fabulous help.

Thanks so much for the comment! You are definitely getting a lot more use out of the app then I am!

2:34 Hi there @ DHTV Could you (or anyone watching) please tell me how to get the options that you have in the bottom right of screen in this part of the video at 2:34 (Back, keyboard, mic & the arrow - I don’t know what that straight left pointing arrow on the right of the 4 options does) Many thanks 🙏 Kindly, Earthlyone 😊

Does Freeform have rulers so I can see how large the image is.

[@dannynesbitt7056]

Awesome video. I just wasn't able to figure out how to get the onscreen keyboard?

[@DHTV]

Thanks! Double tap in a text box and it should pop up automatically

[@hoangdo4372]

Very informative. How do I get the grid to show measurement unit like matrix or English system so I can tell if I drew a circle, what is the diameter of that circle. Thanks so much.

[@DHTV]

I haven’t found a way to do this. Even on Apple’s support pages there isn’t info on this.

[@hoangdo4372]

Thanks for looking that up.

[@mattsrehnstrom]

Thanks for the demo. I wonder how I copy a hand written text and/or symbol?

[@chromatch704]

The highlighter I wish u could change it

[@nursetamika_RN]

This is awesome! Just brought the iPad Pro! Thanks for sharing!

[@DHTV]

No worries glad to help! Enjoy the new iPad

[@luftpumper-blog]

Is there a way to copy and past TEXT + FORMS at once? I'm only able to do this on Mac.

[@davyrayjutras]

Thanks for posting. Is there a way to select multiple objects and move or scale them? Thanks in advancs.

[@chrislora8895]

Thank you! Very clear, very useful instructions. Freeform has many uses, but you”ve got yo know the basics. Now I think I can use it without any frustrations.

[@DHTV]

Thanks, so glad my video was helpful!

[@cindyjacobsen7875]

Great Channel, I had know idea i’ld use, now i find i pull your channel up many times a day. Thanks

[@DHTV]

Thanks so much so glad my videos are useful for you!

[@C0pp3rs.Dr4g0ns]

Is there a possible way to use it without an Apple Pencil?

[@mikewhite3990]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial! On a totally different note (please excuse the slightly personal nature of it…): do you ever write or have you ever written in cursive? I couldn’t help but notice that you write in print only, and I’m curious about younger generations of Americans who’ve not been taught cursive in school. Thank you in advance and again, please excuse the unrelated nature of my question.

[@DHTV]

Thanks so glad I could help! Actually I am from Canada. We were taught cursive and I do know how to write cursive. However it is just easier for me to print.

[@floydthorne6444]

Can you remove the background from a Picture you just took with the iPad?

[@nancylargent6203]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[@Yahoo1339]

Thank you Dan, very informative 😊

[@DHTV]

No worries glad it was useful!

[@billdungan3709]

I can’t seem to get the round corner edit to come up on iPad version. I see the round corner option and turn it on but don’t see any way to adjust the corners. Thanks

[@sandipkanhor]

Great tx

[@DHTV]

No worries, glad I could help you learn about the Freeform app.

[@grooves.x]

I used this to do some quick presentation boards and ended up with a really big file due to all the images! I guess I should have done separate boards instead of creating all 5 boards in the one “file”. So the PDF exported as 1 very long page 😅 which was 80MB and my email account has a limit of 25MB. Maybe I should have used Excel after all 😅

[@Doctor.grewal]

Hi 👋 great video , just wanna ask can we edit pdf in this?? And how?

[@DHTV]

As far as I know you can just add pdf to the Freeform app but not edit

[@Doctor.grewal]

@@DHTV seems the only draw back of this and coz clarity of editing with pencil in FILES app is not good while zoom in

[@timwatt4145]

Nice video thanks

[@DHTV]

Thanks glad it was helpful, I have more iPhone tutorials on my channel if you are interested in learning more

[@briankraemer7375]

Is there a way to change the background color?

[@DHTV]

Not that I know of. That would be nice though.

[@naitiongraphics]

just create a shape of your desired colour size it up, and llock it, anooying but yea

[@paulabell-allen139]

Thank you. It was explained well

[@christineschloss7217]

Excellent--well-organized, clear, but (since this is for beginners) I suggest that you slow down!

[@DHTV]

Thanks, sorry for the speed I’m trying to get the videos in a fashion that meets everyone’s needs. Sometimes I get comments that I dragged on or went to slow. Hard to figure out what is best.

[@earthlyone]

@christineschloss7217 You can always slow down (or speed up) the video on KZbin using the KZbin video speed (located in the settings cog, top right of screen under ‘Playback Speed) and then pause at parts as you try them out in Freeform (I use split screen to do this). Hope this helps you. Great tutorial thank you very much 👍

[@pushpalal2100]

I wanted to know how to save to photos

[@mellissating3231]

Copy paste to note & save as image

[@17Anitak]

Thank you, I’m new to all this 😅

[@DHTV]

No problem glad the video was useful. Feel free to ask if you have questions!

[@alexiszee5770]

your just too good as always what a great video so glad I subscribed😃

[@DHTV]

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words and sub!

[@f1remandg]

Now that is really good and certainly worth having , very good indeed! Here’s-one that I have told people about and no one has said, oh yeah I know that! Books it comes as standard and if you want to save a article or instruction manual or recipe, anything, click square with arrow at top and save to books, it puts the whole thing in Books and you can create files so whatever turns your clock, you have it a Like a pdf book there at the touch of! I like this though, it’s like a scaled down Procreate but I think on a broader usage spectrum. DG 72 years old

[@DHTV]

Great tip!

[@doctorchokolate]

Is this like notability?

[@DHTV]

I haven’t heard of that unfortunately

[@PraveenKumar-nm9sx]

How to have a continuous notes.

[@DHTV]

Not sure what you mean?

[@PraveenKumar-nm9sx]

I need continuous paper

[@katinabotten]

Can u send as a email attachment

[@DHTV]

I’m not sure to be honest. Give it a test and see if it works.

[@robertsimmons7556]

if I use freeform I would use it just to draw otherwise good video man.

[@DHTV]

Thanks

[@shawnaford5540]

Thank you

[@DHTV]

No problem

[@shawnaford5540]

I started using Freeform immediately to take notes for a course I am taking. Using shapes and photos to hold ideas and it is fun for me to learn this way.

[@DHTV]

I agree, it's a lot more fun for me using it as well.

[@databoy01]

Why is it every video has basically the same content and not one shows how to do a simple function that works in basically every other app. CURVED TEXT????

[@annnipper2147]

So Helpful!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

[@DHTV]

Thanks glad the video was helpful
