Drawora
A private browser sketchpad with layers and watermark-free PNG export.
Drawora is a free drawing editor that runs in the browser for sketching, doodling, simple diagrams, and digital art. It includes brushes, shapes, layers, text templates, autosave, undo/redo, zoom controls, and PNG export, with drawings kept locally rather than stored in an account or cloud workspace.
Why it stands out
- Works without signup, downloads, or cloud storage for the web version.
- Local-only storage is emphasized for users who do not want artwork uploaded to a service.
- Combines casual sketching tools with practical editor features like layers, opacity, grid, and shortcuts.
- PNG exports are available without watermarks despite the tool being free.
- Desktop builds are offered for Windows and Linux in addition to the web editor.
Good to know
- Drawings are stored locally, so clearing browser data or switching devices may make work unavailable unless exported or otherwise saved.
- Export is described as PNG-only; users needing editable vector, PSD, or layered project formats may need another tool.
- The desktop app is listed for Windows and Linux, with no macOS version mentioned.
- No account or cloud workspace also means it is not positioned as a cross-device collaboration tool.

Students, hobby artists, and casual creators can make quick drawings without installing software or creating an account. Sketch a concept, annotation, or classroom illustration directly in a browser. Build simple compositions using layers, opacity, text templates, and preset shapes. Export a finished drawing as a clean PNG for sharing or reuse. Use the Windows or Linux desktop version when a browser-only workflow is inconvenient.
