Draw, sketch and write by hand

Open a Whiteboard, Notepad or Designer document and draw with a finger, a mouse or Apple Pencil; drawing needs no AI and works on every device. AI is optional: it can make pictures for you and set up a sketched plan as a working workflow.

Sketch on a whiteboard or notepad

Any deviceFree

  1. From Create a document under the Ask box, open a Whiteboard (an endless canvas) or a Notepad (a page for typed and handwritten notes).
  2. Pick a pen from the pen tray: Pen, Pencil, Ballpoint, Marker or Highlighter. Eraser and Select are in the same tray.
  3. Use Shape to draw a rough rectangle, circle or diamond and have it turned into a clean one.
  4. Use Arrow to join things up.

Turn handwriting into text

Any deviceFree

  • Pick the Write pen and write. When you pause, your handwriting turns into text you can edit.
  • Handwriting is read on an iPad, an iPhone, and the desktop app on a Mac. Elsewhere, switch the Write pen to Type and type instead.

Turn a sketch into a diagram

Any deviceFree

  1. On a whiteboard, draw shapes with a written or typed label inside, and arrows between them. Each shape and its label move as one, and arrows follow when you move them.
  2. Select the sketch and press To Node. Each block becomes a real box and each arrow a connection, in one step you can undo.

Design with vector tools

Any deviceFree

  • Designer gives you artboards, layers and vector tools for graphics, illustrations and screen designs.
  • On iPad, Apple Pencil pressure and tilt shape the stroke.
  • Export artboards as SVG, PNG, JPEG, WEBP or HTML with File → Export Artboards….

Let AI help

Any devicePaid plan

  • Ask for a picture in the Ask box, for example "a watercolour lighthouse at dusk", and it is made for you.
  • After To Node, a card offers Auto-configure, which sets up each step of the sketched plan so it can run.
