Online Drawing Board: Freehand Canvas and PNG Download

Pick a colour and a brush size, then draw with the mouse or your finger. One Undo removes the whole last stroke, and Save image downloads the sketch as a white 1000 × 500 PNG — the drawing stays in the page and is never uploaded.

How to draw and save a sketch

Pick a colour and a brush size, then draw with the mouse or your finger. Every press-and-drag counts as one stroke, so a single Undo removes the whole line you just drew.

The sketch stays in this page: it is never uploaded, and it disappears when you reload. Save image redraws it on a white 1000 × 500 canvas and downloads it as kivtools-drawing.png.

  1. Choose a colour from the top row of the toolbar and a brush size from the row below it.
  2. Draw on the white canvas with the mouse, trackpad or a finger; holding and dragging paints a continuous line.
  3. Use Undo (or Ctrl+Z) to remove the last stroke, and Clear canvas to empty the board. Both work on whole strokes, not single points.
  4. Press Save image (or Ctrl+S) to download the board as kivtools-drawing.png, a 1000 × 500 PNG on a white background.

What the board does

One stroke, one undo step

Undo works per stroke: a press-drag-release is one step, so a long line disappears in a single click instead of vanishing segment by segment. Ctrl+Z and Cmd+Z do the same as the button.

Clearing the board also empties that history, so the undo clicks that follow a Clear cannot pull back strokes from before it.

What the saved PNG contains

Save image copies the strokes onto a fresh white 1000 × 500 canvas and downloads the result, so the file holds the drawing only — no cursor marks, no toolbar and no page background.

Ctrl+S is intercepted for the same download, which keeps the browser’s own save dialog out of the way. The filename is always kivtools-drawing.png.

Mouse, finger and the edge of the board

The canvas accepts mouse, trackpad and touch input. A stroke ends when you release the button or lift your finger, even if you release outside the board — coming back over the canvas without pressing does not continue the line.

The board is a fixed 1000 × 500 surface displayed at the same 2:1 shape at any window width, so what you see on screen keeps its proportions in the PNG.

What it does not do

There is no redo, no eraser and no text or shape tool; the palette offers eight colours and seven brush sizes from 3 to 25 pixels.

The drawing lives in the page’s memory. Reloading, closing the tab or switching away loses it, because nothing is stored or sent to a server.
