Your game.
Your drawings.
Make them yours.

Start with what you want to do.

You do not need to set up everything. Install once, then choose the features you want. Garticverse runs on Gartic Phone; your settings stay in this browser profile.

A few clicks, then you’re in.

Install from the Chrome Web Store

1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing in desktop Chrome.
2. Choose Add to Chrome and confirm Add extension. You do not need to unzip files or enable Developer mode for the store version.
3. Open Chrome's Extensions menu and pin the extension if you want quick access. Open or refresh Gartic Phone.

Know where everything lives.

Hover over an icon to check its action or destination. Webhook URLs and your gallery's upload key are only shown on the settings page, never over the game, so they stay out of your stream.

Keep a drawing. Keep the album.

1. Play through to the album reveal and let the drawings load.
2. Use the Download drawing icon above a drawing to save it as a PNG.
3. To save the current album's drawings, choose Download all under it. The extension saves separate PNG files, numbered in order and named with the detected artist.

If Chrome asks to allow multiple downloads for Gartic Phone, allow them so the album can finish. Keep the page open and watch the progress. An album action covers the current detected album, so open each book you want to save.

Prefer fewer buttons? Untick Download button in All settings → Drawing buttons, or in Sharing and uploads in the game. Turn it back on to restore the extension's single and album download controls.

Send straight to your Discord.

Create a destination

1. In Discord, open your server's Server Settings → Integrations and create a webhook. Choose the channel where the drawings should appear and copy its webhook URL. If you cannot manage webhooks, ask a server administrator.
2. Open All settings → Discord (from the toolbar button, or Sharing and uploads → Add a webhook in the game) and choose Add a webhook. Paste the complete URL and give it a clear name, such as Stream drawings.
3. Select its icon to choose another symbol. New destinations use the Discord icon by default. Tick Quick button for a one-click button on every drawing.
4. That's it: it saves as you type. Use that destination's icon on a drawing, or its named button under the album, to send.

See Discord's webhook walkthrough for the server-side setup.

Drawings are posted with the detected artist information. Check the destination before sending a whole album. Album sends run one at a time and can pause while Discord rate limits requests.

Your drawings. Your own gallery.

Gallery uploads are for the owner of a Garticverse gallery. Sign in with the Twitch account that owns your corner. Each connection is tied to its own gallery.

1. Find your corner on Garticverse, open its Admin page, and find Upload from the extension.
2. Choose Turn on extension uploads, then Create upload key. If a site administrator has blocked uploads, they must unblock them first.
3. Click Copy extension connection while the new key is visible. A key is only shown when it is created.
4. Click the extension in Chrome's toolbar and choose All settings → Gallery (in the game, Sharing and uploads → Connect opens the same place). Paste into Connection text and choose Connect with this.
5. Chrome asks whether Garticverse may reach your gallery's website; allow it. Wait for Connected, then answer the two filing questions: whether to name each stream, and whether to name each game's mode. Change them any time there or in Sharing and uploads on Gartic Phone, which also reminds you if they were never answered.
6. Return to the reveal. Use the gallery icon above one drawing or Gallery under an album. Open your gallery to check the result.

Manual connection & stream names

If copying is unavailable, enter the website address, your gallery slug and the upload key into the fields under or type it in. The slug is the part after /s/ in your gallery address. Click Connect gallery to verify and save them.

Set a Stream name such as Friday Gartic Night to organize your uploads. Leave it blank to use the date. It saves as you type and stops applying 12 hours later, so last week's name never swallows tonight's drawings. You can also change it in Sharing and uploads in the game, or in the lobby when Garticverse asks. The extension sends the detected artist name with each drawing; check credits in your gallery if a player used an unexpected name.

Manage access later

One album. One destination. One click.

1. Open the album you want and wait for its drawings to render.
2. Choose Download all, Gallery, a pinned Discord destination, or a destination from More webhooks.
3. Keep the tab open. Read the progress and final status, including successful, skipped, failed or possibly blank drawings.
4. Use Stop to prevent later items from starting. The item already being processed may still finish.

Sending to Discord and uploading to a gallery are separate actions. Finishing one does not automatically run the other. Open the next album when you are ready to repeat.

Every part of your look, explained.

Open gear → Edit the look for a panel beside the game, or press Alt+Shift+G on any screen. Switch Look on or pick a theme. Changes save automatically and apply live in open game tabs.

Find the part you want

The editor is organised the way Gartic is. Pick a screen along the top: Everywhere, Home, Lobby, Drawing, Writing, Album, Chat or Sounds. Each part on that screen is a card that says where it is and shows a dot once you've changed it. Open a card to see only that part's settings.

• Hover a card or a single setting and Garticverse outlines exactly that thing on the page. A part that isn't on screen right now shows in a small preview instead.
• Point to edit: choose the crosshair (or press P), then click anything in the game to open its settings. Clicks never reach the game while you point.
• Find a setting searches every part, setting and option by name.
• Before and after: hold the eye button (or B) to see Gartic's own look.
• Undo: resetting a part, themes, imports and resets can all be undone for the rest of the session.
• Panel options: dock it left or right, fold it to a small tab, or Match my look so the editor wears your look's colours.

Start from a theme

Fourteen themes to start from: Gartic original, Midnight, Mint, Candy, Ink, Garticverse, Orchard, Manga ink, Spooky, Snow day, Sweetheart, Blossom, Sunset and Arcade. A theme replaces the look but keeps your logo, hidden items, chat, sounds and custom CSS.

What each screen holds

Drawing buttons

Choose where Garticverse's buttons sit in All settings → Drawing buttons or in the editor's Album → Drawing buttons: always visible to the right of each drawing (the default) or to its left, or on the drawing only when you point at it.

The setting saves and applies immediately, even with your look switched off. Each drawing gets one group that scrolls with the album. Side buttons match the size of Streamer tools for Gartic Phone and wrap into another column when needed. With both extensions enabled, Garticverse’s right-side buttons appear below its controls, and the duplicate PNG download button is hidden.

Your logo & a cleaner screen

In Home → Logo, keep the Gartic logo, hide it, or use your own picture. Upload one or paste its image address; uploads keep their transparency. Home → Things to hide has switches for Get the app, Tutorial, Store badges, Language button, Streamers panel and Ad slots.

Custom CSS

For changes beyond the settings, use Everywhere → Custom CSS. It is applied last, so it wins. Copy selector on any part gives you the right element to start from. If a rule makes the game hard to use, clear it or switch the look off.

Keep your chat in the picture.

1. Open the look editor on Gartic Phone and choose Chat along its top.
2. Open Twitch chat and tick Show Twitch chat. Enter the channel's Twitch login, such as rottenappleee, without an @ or a full Twitch URL.
3. In Chat placement, choose Left or Right, set Width from 220–520 px and Opacity from 20–100%, and pick the screens it shows on. Chat messages sets how each message looks.
4. Leave Styled widget address empty for the default chat, or build a look in the Garticverse Chat Widget editor and paste the generated widget URL into this field.

A styled widget URL must use HTTPS and contain a channel, unless you supply one in the Channel field. When filled, Channel overrides the channel in the pasted URL while preserving its styling.

Chat has its own toggle and can stay visible with your look switched off. It overlays the side of the game; it does not make the game narrower. If it overlaps something you need, reduce the width, change sides or turn it off.

Keep it working, session after session.

Store version or beta?

The public release uses the existing Chrome Web Store listing. Refresh Gartic Phone after an extension update. The beta uses the separate manual download so you can test new features before they reach the store.

Update your beta installation

Download and extract the newer beta ZIP, then replace the files inside the same folder Chrome already loads. Open chrome://extensions, click Reload on Garticverse, and refresh your Gartic Phone tabs. Keeping the same installation preserves its browser-local settings. Removing and reinstalling can clear them.

Use another browser or computer

Settings are local to the browser profile. Set up webhooks, your gallery connection and your look in the other profile too. If you replace a gallery key to connect the new browser, reconnect the earlier one with the new key as well.

Turn off only what you need

Your webhooks, upload key, preferences and uploaded skin images are saved in this browser. Downloaded PNGs stay in your downloads. Sent drawings and Discord posts live at the destination; disconnecting the extension does not remove them. Remote image URLs and chat widgets load from their configured services.
