XP-PEN (renamed as XPPen) is a graphics tablet development and distribution company, originally established in Japan in 2005[1] by Taiwanese manufacturer P-Active and now headquartered in Shenzhen, China, with a research and development office in California, United States. In 2019, XPPen became a holding subsidiary of Hanvon Ugee Group, a graphics tablet manufacturer who, like XPPen, also is headquartered in Shenzhen, China, and specializes in the development of graphics tablets, pen display monitors, light pads, stylus pens and digital graphical products. In 2022, XPPen was rebranded to further consolidate its global brand image and better serve worldwide users.[2][3]

XPPen products include variously sized graphics tablets that may or may not include an integrated drawing display.[8] The company's product lineup is segmented into several series based on form factor, target user groups, and application scenarios. These include the Magic series, which features all-in-one drawing displays; the Artist Pro series and Artist series, which focus on drawing displays; and the Deco Pro series and Deco series, which primarily consist of drawing tablets. Additionally, XPPen offers other classic products, such as the Star series, as well as various accessories.[9]
The Deco Fun line, introduced in 2021,[2] serves as an affordable range of drawing tablets comparable to the Wacom Intuos series[10] historically produced through the Deco and Star product lines.
