A few clicks, then you’re in.
Install from the Chrome Web Store
- Open the Chrome Web Store listing in desktop Chrome.
- Choose Add to Chrome and confirm Add extension. You do not need to unzip files or enable Developer mode for the store version.
- Open Chrome's Extensions menu and pin the extension if you want quick access. Open or refresh Gartic Phone.
Try the beta instead
The beta is a manual install for testing the latest features before they reach the store version.
Download beta v2.0.0- Extract the beta ZIP into a permanent folder on your computer.
- Type
chrome://extensionsinto Chrome's address bar. If the store version is installed, disable it while testing so two copies do not run together. Turn on Developer mode. - Choose Load unpacked. Select the extracted garticverse-extension folder that directly contains
manifest.json. - Check that Garticverse is enabled, then refresh Gartic Phone. Use the settings gear in the top-right corner to set up your destinations and look.
Keep the extracted folder: Chrome loads the beta from it. The beta is a separate installation, so set up its connections and preferences again. To return to the store version, disable the beta, re-enable the store extension and refresh the game.
Chrome's unpacked-extension walkthrough shows the beta installation steps.
Know where everything lives.
| Where | What it does |
|---|---|
| Chrome toolbar icon | Opens Gallery connection. Connect or disconnect a gallery, set its session title, or follow the Skin Gartic Phone link. |
| In-game settings gear | Opens Discord destinations, Show Download button, Gallery connection, Skin Gartic Phone and Session title. Use Save All for these sharing settings. |
| Beside or above a drawing | Download that drawing, upload it to your connected gallery, or send it to a pinned Discord destination. Three dots open additional webhooks. Choose the position under Skin Gartic Phone → Drawing buttons. |
| Under an album | Download all, Gallery and Discord destination buttons act on the drawings detected in that album. Progress and Stop appear during an operation. |
The gear is hidden during the drawing screen. Set things up in the lobby or reveal, or use Chrome's toolbar icon to reach gallery and skin settings. Hover over an icon to check its action or destination.
Keep a drawing. Keep the album.
- Play through to the album reveal and let the drawings load.
- Use the Download drawing icon above a drawing to save it as a PNG.
- 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 a cleaner toolbar? Untick Show Download button in the gear menu and click Save All. Turn it back on to restore the extension's single and album download controls.
Send straight to your Discord.
Create a destination
- 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.
- In Gartic Phone, open the gear and choose Add Webhook. Paste the complete URL and give it a clear label, such as Stream drawings.
- Select its icon to choose another symbol. New destinations use the Discord icon by default. Tick Pin for a quick-send button.
- Click Save All. Use that destination's icon above a drawing, or its named button under the album, to send.
See Discord's webhook walkthrough for the server-side setup.
| Control | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Up to 5 webhooks | Keep several channels or communities ready. Each has its own URL, label and icon. |
| Up to 3 pinned | Pinned destinations appear as quick buttons. Use More webhooks (three dots) for the others. |
| Reorder | Drag a webhook row by its handle to change the order, then Save All. |
| Rename or change icon | Edit the label or choose a symbol, then Save All. These identify the destination inside the extension. |
| Delete | Use the row’s trash button, then Save All. This removes it from the extension; it does not delete the webhook in Discord. |
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.
- Find your corner on Garticverse, open its Admin page, and find Upload from the extension.
- Choose Turn on extension uploads, then Create upload key. If a site administrator has blocked uploads, they must unblock them first.
- Click Copy extension connection while the new key is visible. A key is only shown when it is created.
- Click the extension in Chrome's toolbar, or use gear → Gallery connection in the game. Paste into Paste connection details, then choose Use connection details.
- Check the website and gallery slug. Add an optional Session title, then click Connect gallery. Wait for the connected confirmation.
- 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 & session titles
If copying is unavailable, enter the website address, your gallery slug and the upload key into their individual fields. The slug is the part after /s/ in your gallery address. Click Connect gallery to verify and save them.
Set a session title such as Friday Gartic Night to organize your uploads. Leave it blank to use the current UTC date. You can also change it from the in-game gear and click Save All. 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
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Disconnect | Removes the saved gallery connection from this browser. The website key remains valid elsewhere. |
| Replace key | Creates a new key and invalidates the old one. Copy it now and reconnect every browser that should upload. |
| Revoke key | Invalidates the key for every browser using it. Create a new key when you want to reconnect. |
| Turn off uploads | Disables extension uploads and revokes the key. If a site administrator turns them off, the gallery is also blocked until an administrator enables it again. |
One album. One destination. One click.
- Open the album you want and wait for its drawings to render.
- Choose Download all, Gallery, a pinned Discord destination, or a destination from More webhooks.
- Keep the tab open. Read the progress and final status, including successful, skipped, failed or possibly blank drawings.
- 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 → Skin Gartic Phone for a panel over the game, or use the skin link in the extension popup. Enable Skin Gartic Phone or choose a preset. Changes save automatically and apply live in open game tabs.
Start from a preset
| Preset | The look |
|---|---|
| Gartic original | Gartic’s own background, panel and button styles. |
| Midnight | Deep violet with pale lavender buttons. |
| Mint | Dark green with fresh mint buttons. |
| Candy | Pink-to-gold background with light panels and pink details. |
| Ink | Dark neutral surfaces with warm, pale buttons. |
Presets change their background, panel and button settings while keeping your other customizations. For a complete clean start, use Reset everything to Gartic's look.
Background
- Leave Gartic's own keeps the game background. Solid colour uses the From color.
- Gradient uses From and To colors with an Angle from 0–360°.
- Image lets you choose a file from your computer or paste an image address. Use Clear to remove it.
- Fill the screen covers the available area and can crop edges. Fit inside keeps the whole image visible. Tile repeats it.
- Dim darkens the photo from 0–80% so the game remains readable.
Panels, buttons, type & avatars
| Group | Every control |
|---|---|
| Panels | Choose Gartic’s own style or Custom. Custom offers Fill, Border, Fill opacity (0–100%) and Corner radius (0–40 px). |
| Buttons | Choose Gartic’s own style or Custom. Set Top and Bottom colors, Text color and Corner radius (0–30 px). |
| Type | Set a Font family available in your browser and a Text colour. An empty font field keeps Gartic’s font. |
| Avatars | Keep Gartic’s own shape, or choose Circle, Rounded or Square. Avatar ring sets the border color. |
Drawing buttons
Under Drawing buttons → Button position, choose Always visible, right of each drawing for a separate set of download, gallery and Discord buttons beside every canvas. You can also choose the left side, or On hover, top left of drawing for the original overlay.
The setting saves and applies immediately, even with the visual skin 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
Under Logo, keep the Gartic logo, hide it, or choose Replace with my own. Upload a logo or paste its image address. Local logo uploads preserve transparency; backgrounds are resized for storage in the browser. Use Clear to remove the selected image.
The Hide group has individual switches for Get the app, Tutorial, Store badges, Language button, Streamers panel and Ad slots. Untick an item to show it again.
Custom CSS
For changes beyond the controls, add CSS to Anything not covered above. It applies to Gartic Phone while the skin is enabled. If a rule makes the game hard to use, clear that field or turn the skin off. A full reset clears custom CSS too.
Keep your chat in the picture.
- Open Skin Gartic Phone and scroll to Twitch chat.
- Enable Show Twitch chat over the game. Enter the channel's Twitch login, such as rottenappleee, without an @ or a full Twitch URL.
- Choose Left or Right. Set Width from 220–520 px and Opacity from 20–100%.
- 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 the visual skin 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
| To stop… | Use… |
|---|---|
| A running album action | Stop in the album action row. Completed items stay sent or saved. |
| Appearance changes | The Skin Gartic Phone master toggle. Saved appearance settings are retained. |
| Twitch chat | The Show Twitch chat over the game toggle. |
| Gallery uploads here | Disconnect in Gallery connection. Use Revoke key on the website to invalidate that key everywhere. |
| The entire extension | Disable Garticverse on Chrome’s Extensions page, then refresh the game to remove existing controls and styles. |
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.

A quick fix, without the guesswork.
Search by feature or error, or open a question below.
How do I put send buttons on the right of every canvas?
In beta 1.5.1, open the gear → Skin Gartic Phone → Drawing buttons. Set Button position to Always visible, right of each drawing. It updates immediately and works independently of the visual skin toggle. Choose left or the on-hover overlay to change it back. Each drawing gets one group, with extra buttons wrapping into another column. The buttons match Streamer tools for Gartic Phone in size. If both extensions are enabled, Garticverse’s right-side buttons sit below its controls and the duplicate PNG download button is hidden.
Why is the drawing download button missing?
If Streamer tools for Gartic Phone already shows a PNG download button beside that drawing, Garticverse hides its duplicate. Use the existing PNG button. Garticverse’s download button returns when the other one is unavailable, provided Show download button is enabled in settings.
I installed from the store. Why are features from this guide missing?
The Chrome Web Store has an older Garticverse release. This guide covers Garticverse beta 2.0.0. Use Download beta and the beta setup steps in the installation chapter to get the new features before they reach the store version. Disable the store extension while testing the beta, then set up the beta’s connections and preferences separately.
I cannot find the settings gear or drawing buttons.
Check that Garticverse is enabled in Chrome and has access to garticphone.com. Refresh the game after installing or updating. The gear is hidden during the drawing screen; use it from the lobby or reveal, or open the extension from Chrome’s toolbar. Drawing actions appear on supported drawing canvases during the reveal, not on every image on the page.
The beta will not load, or Chrome says the manifest is missing.
Extract the beta ZIP first. In Load unpacked, select the folder that directly contains manifest.json, not the ZIP or its parent folder. Keep that folder on your computer. The store version does not need these manual steps. If your browser is managed by a school or workplace, its administrator may restrict unpacked extensions.
Download all only saved one file.
The extension saves separate PNG files. If Chrome asks whether Gartic Phone can download multiple files, allow it. Check the browser’s blocked-download indicator and Downloads list, then retry. A repeat download can create another copy.
A drawing looks blank, or the album count is smaller than expected.
Wait for the reveal to finish and for drawings to render, then open the album you want. Album actions use the drawings currently detected in that album; they do not recover hidden or unopened books. A ‘looked blank’ message is a warning rather than proof of failure—the extension still attempts the drawing. Check the saved or posted image.
My fourth or fifth Discord destination has disappeared.
Only three destinations can be pinned as quick buttons. Use More webhooks (the three-dot button) for the others. Open the gear, check the destination’s URL and label, and click Save All after changing anything.
Discord says Send failed or rate limited.
Check that the saved URL is the complete webhook URL for your intended channel and that the webhook still exists. A server administrator can check its channel and permissions. Album sends wait and retry when Discord rate-limits them; keep the tab open and watch the status. If the webhook was deleted, create a new one and save its URL.
The website says This gallery belongs to another streamer.
Sign in with the Twitch account that owns that gallery and open its Admin page. You can manage your own gallery’s connection. If the gallery was assigned to a different account or the wrong owner, ask a site administrator to correct the ownership.
Extension uploads are blocked, or I cannot turn them on.
A gallery owner can normally choose Turn on extension uploads. If a site administrator has blocked uploads for that gallery, only a site administrator can unblock them. This is separate from the gallery’s regular visitor-upload setting.
The gallery key is invalid, revoked, or no longer works.
Check the website address and gallery slug, then create or replace the key on your gallery’s Admin page. Copy the new connection details, choose Use connection details in the extension, and click Connect gallery. Replacing or revoking a key invalidates the old one in every connected browser. Disabled uploads or a change in gallery ownership can also invalidate access.
I closed the page before copying my upload key.
The website only shows a newly created key once. Use Replace key to create another, then copy it immediately. Reconnect every extension that used the previous key.
My settings or skin changes did not stick.
Discord destinations, the download toggle and the in-game session title need Save All. A pasted gallery connection needs Use connection details followed by Connect gallery. Skin and chat controls save automatically. Ensure the Skin Gartic Phone toggle is on for appearance changes, or choose a preset. Settings belong to this browser profile and do not automatically sync to other computers.
My background or logo will not appear.
For a background, choose Image; for a logo, choose Replace with my own. Choose an image file or paste a direct image address. The skin toggle must be on. Try a smaller image if processing fails, check that a remote address loads, and use Clear to remove the current image. Uploaded logos preserve transparency.
Twitch chat is empty, wrong, or covering the game.
Enable Show Twitch chat over the game, enter the Twitch login without @ or a full Twitch URL, and wait for new messages. The widget does not load old chat history. If a styled widget URL is present, it must use HTTPS; a filled Channel field overrides its channel. Clear that URL to try the default widget. Change Side or reduce Width if chat covers game controls; it overlays the page rather than shrinking the game.
Gartic original did not undo everything.
Gartic original restores the preset’s background, panel and button styles. It does not clear every separate setting. Use Reset everything to Gartic’s look to reset the complete skin, including custom CSS, images, hidden elements and chat configuration. The master skin toggle only pauses appearance changes; Twitch chat has its own toggle.
Can I resume an album or undo a send?
Keep the same game page open and run the same destination again: successfully sent drawings are skipped for that destination, and failed or unprocessed drawings can be tried again. This is temporary page memory, not permanent duplicate protection; refreshing may send another copy. Stop prevents later items, but an in-flight item may finish. It does not delete drawings or messages already sent.
Will everyone in the game see my skin or chat?
These are local browser changes. Other players do not get your skin or chat settings. Viewers see them only if your stream captures the area where they appear. No gallery connection is needed for skins, chat, downloads or Discord sharing.
All set. Make something worth keeping.
Keep this guide handy, open the game, and give your next Gartic session a home.
