A browser sketchpad for making hand-drawn GIFs with animated strokes.

Wigglypaint is a free web drawing tool built around brushes whose lines move after you draw them. It lets users doodle on a canvas, adjust colors and marker sizes, erase or undo changes, crop the canvas, and export the result as an animated GIF. Optional account-based features add cloud project saving, palette storage, and community sharing.

Why it stands out

  • Focuses on animated lines rather than static sketching, so even simple doodles can become shareable loops.
  • Exports directly to GIF, preserving the motion without needing a separate animation tool.
  • Works in the browser across desktop, tablet, and phone screens.
  • Includes sound feedback for strokes, giving it a toy-like creative feel distinct from conventional paint apps.
  • Optional cloud projects and palette saving support moving between devices.

Good to know

  • Export is centered on animated GIFs; the page does not describe broader professional export formats.
  • It is designed for playful doodles and animated sketches, not precise vector illustration or advanced image editing.
  • Cloud saving, palette sync, and community posting appear to require account-based use, unlike basic local drawing.

Under the radar: Use the crop tool right before exporting so the saved GIF frames the drawing tightly instead of including the full blank canvas.
