COMMON QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know.

Does this work with a drawing tablet or stylus?

Yes, browsers with Pointer Events support stylus, touch and mouse input. Pressure sensitivity depends on your device and browser. The tool accepts coalesced pointer samples when available.

Are drawings uploaded or shared?

No. Drawing and exports run in your browser. A recovery copy is stored in this browser using IndexedDB when available. Saving an editable project downloads a JSON file to your device.

What is the difference between PNG, SVG and PDF?

PNG is a bitmap image, SVG preserves vector strokes, shapes and text (with vector masking for erasing), and PDF is a flattened image on a single A4-sized page. PNG and SVG can have a transparent background; PDF always has a paper background.

Can I edit a drawing later?

Download “Save project” to keep an editable PixelOkay project file. Use “Open project” to restore it. SVG is editable in compatible vector applications, but cannot be reimported here.

Which shortcuts work?

B pen, P pencil, M marker, E eraser, L line, A arrow, R rectangle, O ellipse, T text, V select, H pan, Ctrl/Cmd+Z undo, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z redo, Ctrl/Cmd+D duplicate, arrow keys move selected, Delete remove selected, and Esc cancel a gesture.

Add text to your canvas

Clear the drawing?

This removes all marks from the canvas. You can undo it until you close or reload the page.

Using Handwriting & Drawing Pad

Choose a pen, paper style or drawing tool and sketch on the canvas. Select objects to move or edit them, then export a picture or save an editable project.

Stylus pressure and coalesced input depend on your device and browser. PDF output is a raster-backed page rather than recognized handwriting or editable document text. Browser recovery is best effort; keep downloaded project backups.

Choose a drawing image, PDF page or editable project

Practice: a handwritten review note

  1. Write a short fictional note, then add a rectangle or arrow to mark the part to review.
  2. Select a drawing object and adjust its position before saving the project.
  3. Choose an image for quick sharing or PDF for a page-oriented handoff, keeping the editable project separately.

This is an authored drawing exercise, not a stylus benchmark or generated document.

Drawing and handwriting questions

Will pressure-sensitive drawing work with every pen or touchscreen?

No. Pressure and coalesced pointer input depend on the device, stylus and browser. Try a short stroke with the input device you intend to use before drawing a longer note.

Can I reopen a PDF or PNG as the same editable drawing?

Those exports are viewing/sharing outputs, not the tool's editable project format. Download project JSON before leaving the page. Browser recovery is best effort and can be lost if storage is cleared.
