Online Sketch Pad

Draw directly in your browser with adjustable brushes and colors, then download the result as a PNG.

About the sketch pad

For the times you need to sketch a rough diagram and emailing yourself a phone photo of a napkin feels excessive. The canvas supports mouse, trackpad, touch and stylus input with pressure-independent smoothing, adjustable brush size and color, an eraser, undo, and a clear button. Everything happens on a local canvas element, so there is no account, no cloud sync and nothing to wait for. Download gives you a transparent-background PNG ready to drop into a document.

How to use the sketch pad

  1. Pick a brush color and size from the toolbar.
  2. Draw on the canvas with your mouse, finger or stylus.
  3. Use the eraser or undo to correct mistakes.
  4. Click Download to save your sketch as a PNG image.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on a tablet or with a stylus?
Yes. The canvas listens for pointer events, which covers mouse, touch and stylus input, so an iPad with a pencil or a drawing tablet works as expected.
Is my drawing saved if I close the tab?
No. The sketch lives only in the page canvas, so download it before you navigate away or close the tab.
Can I download with a transparent background?
Yes. The exported PNG preserves transparency where you have not drawn, so it layers cleanly over other content.
