Your entry to digital creativity
What Exactly is a Pen Tablet and What Can You Use It For?
A pen tablet, sometimes also referred to as a stylus tablet, is an input device that provides you with a digital drawing surface and is operated with a special pen. It allows you to draw, sketch, paint, and work directly in digital media, just as you would on paper or canvas. Wacom pen tablets come with or without displays and in various sizes. Typically, you connect your pen tablet to your PC, Mac, tablet, or smartphone via cable or Bluetooth and use the software installed on it. In short, a pen tablet is a digital canvas on which you paint, draw, and write with a special pen. But of course, there are many more areas of application.
Applications of a Pen Tablet
We are proud to develop pen tablets that enhance your creativity and offer a wide range of applications. Here are a few examples of what you can do with our pen tablets. By the way, all Wacom tablets and pens are also suitable for left-handed users.

Digital Drawing and Painting: Our pen tablets are ideal for artists, illustrators, or hobby painters who want to create digital images but don’t want to compromise on precise and natural line work. The pressure-sensitive pen from Wacom allows you to create detailed and vibrant drawings and paintings with a natural "like on paper" feeling while working.

Photo Editing and Retouching: With a Wacom pen tablet, you can edit, retouch, and create creative effects on images and photos with precision that would be difficult to achieve with a mouse. The pen offers significantly more accuracy, especially when working with complex masks and layers in programs like Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo.

3D Design and Modeling: For 3D artists, our pen tablets provide an intuitive way to shape, texture, and manipulate models. With precise pen control, you can work particularly efficiently in the respective programs.

Graphic and Web Design: Professionals use pen tablets to design logos, icons, and layouts. The intuitive handling enhances your creative work in programs like Adobe Illustrator or InDesign.

Note-Taking and Annotations: Many of our products, such as the Wacom Bamboo series, are perfect for taking notes, sketches, and handwritten annotations directly on digital documents. This is especially useful for students, teachers, or business professionals.

Video Editing and Animation: Our pen tablets make it easier to edit videos, for example, when cutting or adding effects. You can also design and edit storyboards and animation sequences excellently with a Wacom pen tablet.

Frequently Questions about Pen Tablets
What is a pen tablet used for?
What is the difference between a pen tablet and a regular tablet?
The main difference lies in purpose and precision. A pen tablet, like Wacom devices, is designed for creative work and is operated with a pressure-sensitive pen, allowing for natural and precise drawing. A regular tablet is a standalone device for general use like browsing or apps, with less precision. In short, a pen tablet is a digital tool for professional creativity, while a regular tablet is a general-purpose device.
Is a pen tablet worth it?
Yes, if you draw, design, or edit photos, a pen tablet is a great investment. Compared to a mouse or touchscreen, it offers greater precision and a natural drawing feel. With a Wacom pen tablet, you can work more intuitively and efficiently - ideal for detailed illustrations, photo editing, or digital note-taking. Beginners and pros alike benefit from enhanced control and creative flexibility.
Which pen tablet is best for beginners?
It depends on your workflow and goals. Wacom offers beginner-friendly models:
One by Wacom (S or M): Simple, functional, and affordable. Draw on the tablet, see results on screen. Great for students and first projects.
Wacom Intuos: With ExpressKeys, a sensitive pen, and bundled software. Ideal for sketching, comics, and photo editing.
Wacom One 13 Touch: A pen display with touch function - perfect for drawing directly on screen.
Wacom Cintiq 16: A pro-level display tablet for serious digital art and design.
What's the difference between pen tablets with and without a screen?
Pen tablets without a screen act as digital surfaces - you draw while looking at your monitor. They're light, compact, and affordable. Screen tablets let you draw directly where the line appears, like paper. This gives a more natural, immersive experience - ideal for tasks like illustration or painting.
Which is the cheapest pen tablet?
Two models stand out for affordability:
One by Wacom: Compact and durable, USB-connected, without display - ideal for sketches and notes.
Wacom One S/M: With Bluetooth and pen compatibility, no display but added comfort - great for beginners wanting more flexibility.

Wacom pen tablets usually require a computer connection. Some models also work with compatible smartphones or tablets - check product specifications for details.
