Drawing Pad: Draw, Sketch and Doodle Online Free
Free online drawing pad: sketch with a pen, marker, pencil, highlighter, calligraphy, neon or spray brush, add 30 shapes, arrows, text, emoji and symbols, start from templates (grid and lined paper, comic strips, mind maps, flowcharts, thumbnails, icons) or colouring pages, then download a PNG, JPEG or SVG. No sign-up; drawings stay in your browser.
Changing the size keeps everything where it is (measured from the top left). Paper lines are a guide: they are not erased by the eraser, and you can leave them out of the export.
Tips: hold Shift for straight lines, squares and circles, Alt to draw a shape from its centre. Space + drag (or two fingers) moves around, Ctrl + wheel or pinch zooms. Keys: V select, B brush, E eraser, S shape, R rectangle, O circle, A arrow, L line, T text, F paint bucket, I colour picker, H hand, [ ] size. Everything is saved in this browser as you go; nothing is uploaded.
A free drawing pad in your browser
Sketch, doodle, draw diagrams, make a quick icon or a YouTube thumbnail, or colour in a page with a child: MES Draw works on a computer, a tablet with a stylus or a phone, with no install and no account. Every line, shape, emoji and word stays its own piece, so you can move it, resize it, turn it, recolour it or delete it later.
What you can do
- Brushes
- Pen (thinner when you move fast, or by pressure with a stylus), marker, pencil, highlighter, calligraphy, neon and spray. Symmetry turns one line into mirror or kaleidoscope copies.
- Shapes
- 30 shapes: rectangles, circles, arrows, stars, hearts, speech and thought bubbles, clouds, check marks, cubes and more, with or without a fill, solid or dashed.
- Emoji and symbols
- Hundreds of emoji and symbols (arrows, maths, Greek letters, stars, music) to stamp on the page and resize: handy for stickers and icons.
- Text
- Any font on your computer, bold, italic, alignment, a box behind it or a meme-style outline.
- Templates and examples
- Grid, dot, lined, graph and music paper; comic strips, storyboards, mind maps, flowcharts, Venn diagrams, a coordinate plane, planners; thumbnail, app icon, meme, birthday card, certificate and poster designs; drawings to change (house, flower, rocket...) and colouring pages to fill with the paint bucket.
- Saving
- Every drawing is kept in this browser (My drawings). Download it as a PNG (with a see-through background if you like), JPEG or SVG, copy it, open it in the MES Photo Editor, or save a .mesdraw file to keep working on it on another computer.
Questions
- Is my drawing uploaded anywhere?
- No. It is drawn and saved in your own browser. Clearing your browser's site data removes it, so download a file for anything you want to keep for good.
- How do I erase only part of a line?
- Use the eraser in "Rub out" mode. "Whole strokes" removes the whole line, shape or text you touch. To remove one thing exactly, select it and press Delete.
- How do I make a sticker or icon with a see-through background?
- Open Page and tick Transparent (or start from the "Transparent" or "App icon" template), then Export as PNG with "Trim to the drawing".
- Can I draw with an Apple Pencil or a Wacom pen?
- Yes, the pen brush follows the pressure. Once you have used a pen, a finger on the screen moves the page instead of drawing, so your palm doesn't leave marks.
