Draw anything.
Right here, right now.

Yes. Draw Anything is free to download on iPhone, iPad and Android, and the core experience — the canvas, the brushes, the colour palette, background colours and export — works without paying anything. An optional PRO subscription unlocks Rainbow Pencil, Import Images, Infinite Colour and Gravity Lines. The browser studio on this page is free with no account at all.

Yes — that is exactly what the studio at the top of this page is. It is a complete canvas drawing app that runs in your browser with no download, no signup and no account. You get pencil, brush, crayon, marker and eraser tools, fourteen colours, five paper backgrounds, an adjustable brush size, unlimited undo and PNG export. Your drawing saves automatically in your browser, so closing the tab does not lose your work.

The pencil gives fine, slightly translucent linework for sketching. The brush produces smooth strokes that thin out as you move faster, like a real loaded brush. The crayon lays down waxy texture. The marker fills bold flat areas. The eraser removes strokes without touching your background. PRO adds the Rainbow Pencil, which cycles through the full spectrum as you draw, and Gravity Lines, a physics tool that makes your strokes fall away after you draw them.

Yes. Draw Anything runs on iPad and supports Apple Pencil as well as finger drawing, on any iPad running iOS 15.0 or later. The canvas fills the whole screen and the controls collapse out of the way, which is what makes an iPad genuinely usable as a portable art studio rather than a novelty.

Stop trying to picture the finished drawing. Almost any subject — a cat, a car, a tree, a face — breaks down into circles, rectangles and triangles. Block those in with a light pencil, check the proportions, then commit to the outline with the brush and fill with colour. If you are truly stuck, import a reference photo and sketch over it; that removes the decision entirely and teaches you proportion at the same time.

Yes, with Draw Anything PRO. Import Images brings any photo from your gallery onto the canvas so you can use it as a reference layer, a background, or a base to blend into your artwork. Tracing has a bad reputation it does not deserve — for a beginner it is the fastest way to build an instinct for proportion before drawing freehand.

In the app, tap the share icon to export your painting in high resolution and send it straight to Messages, social media or your photo library. In the free browser studio on this page, press Save PNG and the image downloads to your device at the full resolution of your screen, background colour included.

Yes. It is rated 4+ and the interface is deliberately simple — pick a colour, pick a tool, draw. There are no menus to get lost in. The crayon tool is built for playful, textured colouring, and unlimited undo means a drawing can never be ruined. It is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew and Indonesian.
