Free online sketchpad
A free online sketchpad with no sign up
TempCanvas is a lightweight browser drawing pad for rough sketches, doodles, interface ideas, and visual notes. It opens directly to the drawing surface, without asking you to create a file or learn a complex illustration application.
Choose a brush that fits the sketch
Draw with a standard pen, marker, pencil, watercolor brush, or fountain pen effect. Adjust color and line width, then use the eraser, undo, and redo to correct rough marks without restarting.
Go beyond freehand drawing
Add text, rectangles, circles, or an image when the sketch needs labels and structure. Move, resize, and reorder objects, and pan or zoom when you need more room to work.
Draw with mouse, touch, or stylus
The sketchpad works with a mouse, trackpad, touch screen, and compatible stylus in a modern desktop, tablet, or mobile browser. No application installation is required.
Save only when the sketch is useful
The current drawing stays in local browser storage for recovery. Download a PNG when you want a permanent copy, or clear the drawing pad and use it for the next idea.
Is the online sketchpad free?
Yes. TempCanvas is free and does not require registration, login, or a paid plan.
Can I draw online with a mouse?
Yes. You can also use a trackpad, touch screen, or compatible stylus.
Can I save my sketch?
The current sketch is retained locally in the browser and can be exported as a PNG.
