Drawing Pad — Draw, Paint & Sketch Online

What is this tool?

This online drawing pad opens a full-screen canvas for quick sketches, diagrams, annotations and handwritten notes. It works with a mouse, trackpad, stylus or finger. The toolbar has Brush, Eraser, Line, Rectangle, Ellipse, Triangle, Arrow and Text tools, plus Select to move, rotate or delete items. You can set the color, Size and Opacity, pick a swatch, and tick Fill for solid shapes. Undo and Redo cover every change, including moves and deletions, and single-key shortcuts (press ? in the editor) speed things up. When you are done, download a sharp PNG at 1x, 2x or 3x with a transparent or white background, an SVG, or copy it to the clipboard. Your drawing is autosaved in this browser, can be saved as a .json project, and is never uploaded.
