AutoDraw
Google's free web drawing tool: sketch a rough shape and its AI swaps in clean, ready-made clip art.
FreeBeginnerWeb
Overview
AutoDraw is a free drawing tool from Google Creative Lab. You sketch a rough shape and its AI guesses what you meant. It offers clean artist-made drawings to swap in with one click, so a shaky doodle of a cat becomes a tidy cat icon. You can also add plain shapes, type text, fill areas with colour, and move or resize anything on the canvas.
It runs in any browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with no account and nothing to install. It is completely free with no paid tier. Work downloads as a flat PNG. You do not get a vector file or layers to re-edit later. It is published as a Google Creative Lab experiment rather than as a Google product.

When to use
Use AutoDraw when you want a simple drawing without drawing skill:
- You need a clean icon or picture but cannot draw one yourself. Picking the AI's suggestion does the drawing for you.
- You need a piece of clip art quickly for a document, slide or worksheet, and want it in a minute rather than searching stock sites.
- You are working with children or in a classroom, since it opens straight in the browser without an account, an install or any setup.
- You are on a borrowed or locked-down device and need a rough idea turned into a tidy PNG.
When NOT to use
Skip AutoDraw if any of these describe you:
- You want original or detailed artwork. AutoDraw mostly replaces your sketch with a pre-made drawing, so a full drawing app fits better.
- You need an editable vector file such as SVG, for printing large or for a logo. AutoDraw only downloads a flat PNG, so try Vectorpea.
- You are relying on it for ongoing work. It is published as a Google Creative Lab experiment rather than as a supported Google product.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, completely. You do not make an account, sign up or install anything, and there is no paid tier. It is made by Google Creative Lab.
No. You sketch a rough shape, the AI offers clean ready-made drawings that match it, and you click the closest one to replace your sketch.
It downloads your drawing as a PNG image. It does not export a vector (SVG) or a layered file, so you cannot easily go back and re-edit the individual shapes in another program later.
There is no dedicated app. AutoDraw runs in any web browser, on a phone, tablet or computer.
It is a Google Creative Lab experiment, published alongside Google's other experiments rather than as a supported product. It still runs free in any browser with no account.
