Freehand SVG Drawing Tool

What is a Freehand SVG Drawing Tool?

A freehand SVG drawing tool lets you sketch directly in the browser. You draw with mouse, trackpad, or touch. The tool applies smoothing to your strokes so lines feel hand-drawn rather than rigid. Multiple brush styles change how much smoothing is applied. You can use solid colors (different per stroke) or one gradient for the whole drawing. The output is SVG—vector paths that scale, can be edited in Figma or design tools, and work on the web. Aspect ratios (16:9, 1:1, 4:3, 4:5, 18:6) let you match your canvas to the final format. For smaller files, run the exported SVG through SVGOMG to optimize. Powered by Two.js and perfect-freehand.
