Drawing
Draw a diagram online, for free
A hand-drawn whiteboard for explaining an idea before you write it down. Shapes, arrows, text, and several people on one canvas — all of it exportable to PNG or SVG.
- No sign-up
- Shared canvas
- PNG and SVG export
Sketch a diagram in four steps
-
1
Open a canvas
It is infinite: start anywhere, and the view frames itself around whatever you have drawn.
-
2
Lay down shapes
Rectangle, ellipse, diamond, arrow, freehand stroke, text. The sketchy rendering invites people to argue with the diagram rather than admire it.
-
3
Connect and annotate
Arrows bind to shapes and follow them when you move things around. Text drops anywhere.
-
4
Share or export
A link to draw together, a PNG to paste into a chat, an SVG to refine elsewhere.
What the canvas does
-
Freehand rendering
The sketchy look is computed, so it is stable: a diagram reopened months later looks exactly as you left it.
-
Shapes and connectors
Arrows stay bound to the shapes they link, so rearranging a diagram does not break it.
-
Infinite canvas
Zoom, pan, automatic framing on your content. No page edge to work around.
-
Drawing together
Other people’s strokes appear as they draw them, with no reload.
-
Style library
Stroke weights, colours, hachured or solid fills, dashes — enough to build hierarchy without clutter.
-
Built-in assistant
Describe the architecture you need and it lays out the boxes and arrows. All that is left is moving them.
What people draw here
-
Software architecture
Boxes, arrows, and the discussion moves faster than it would over a document.
-
User journeys
Screens in order, with the branches visible at a glance.
-
Ideation workshops
Everyone drops their notes onto the canvas during the remote session.
-
Teaching diagrams
A quick sketch is often worth three paragraphs of explanation.
-
Floor plans
Roughly-to-scale rectangles for testing a layout.
-
Interface sketches
The hand-drawn look signals that nothing is settled, which frees people to comment.
The rest of the suite
All five tools share the same drive, the same sharing and the same assistant.
Frequently asked questions
Is it compatible with Excalidraw?
The spirit and the gestures match: sketchy strokes, infinite canvas, bound shapes. The files themselves are Dokufu’s own; exchange happens through PNG or SVG.
Can I draw on a tablet?
Yes, finger and stylus drawing are supported, with two-finger panning.
Can the diagram be edited after export?
The exported SVG stays vector and opens in a drawing editor. The original file remains editable in Dokufu.
Do I need an account?
Not to draw. An account lets you find the canvas elsewhere and share it.
How many people on one canvas?
Enough for a workshop: everyone’s strokes reach the others live.
Can I undo?
Yes, and undo works even on changes made by your collaborators or by the assistant.
The canvas is empty
Open it, draw the first box, and finally explain what you had in mind.
