About this app

Draw Elf — Draw your ideas. Bring stories to life.

A sudden spark, a moment to remember or a story from your imagination: start with lines and colors, then set your characters and words in motion. Create drawings and animations that are yours.

Doodle freely or take time over an illustration. Start on a blank canvas or explore editable examples to find your own direction.

【Express ideas with brushes and color】
Draw a favorite character, a landscape or today's mood. Begin with an outline and add details as your idea takes shape.
• Explore different brushes and strokes.
• Adjust brush size and opacity for outlines, color and detail.
• Add text and shapes to express more.
• Import images as materials or drawing references.
• Try new approaches with undo and redo.

【Draw in layers, edit with ease】
Keep characters, backgrounds, text and decorations on separate layers, like transparent sheets stacked into one picture. Change a background or refine a detail separately. Reorder, hide or lock parts of your drawing to keep complex scenes manageable.

【Find inspiration in examples】
Not sure where to begin? Open editable examples and templates, explore how they are put together and make changes. Try new colors, rewrite text, move a character or add your own drawing. Follow an example or turn it into something of your own.

【Turn drawings into little stories】
Let a character enter the scene, reveal words as the story unfolds and connect scenes with transitions. Combine drawing and 2D animation to take your ideas beyond a still image.

Choose where objects appear and how they change over time. Preview the result and refine the movement and pacing.
• Move, rotate or resize objects over time.
• Set the order and duration of actions.
• Connect scenes with transitions.
• Add text and captions for context or emotion.
• Preview and keep refining your animation.

Start with a small character movement or animated words, then try a story with a beginning, middle and end.

【Add music and your own voice】
Set the mood with music, explain the story with narration or give a character your voice. Import audio or record it yourself, then combine sound and pictures to shape the story's rhythm and expression.

【Organize your work and pick up where you left off】
Keep unfinished drawings, ideas and animations in your library. Organize them into groups for easy browsing. Reopen a project to add details or try another direction. Recover accidentally deleted work from the recycle bin before it is permanently removed.

【Save and share your creativity】
Export drawings as images or animations as GIFs, then share through other apps on your device. Save and share an illustration, a moving character or a story with sound in a suitable format.

Combine multiple drawings into a PDF or save an editable animation backup to continue working later.

【Free features and VIP】
Create, edit and save unlimited works for free, and export watermarked images and GIFs. Subscribe to VIP to remove the app watermark and unlock more export options. See the purchase screen for plans and prices.

【About saving your work】
Start creating without an app account. Projects stay on your current device and do not automatically sync to other devices.

Back up important work before changing devices, uninstalling or clearing app data. Exported images and videos are for viewing and sharing; they are not editable project files. Save an editable animation backup if you want to keep editing later.

Begin with a line, capture an idea and bring it to life.
