Autodraw

AutoDraw is a free drawing tool from Google Creative Lab that pairs machine learning with artwork from professional illustrators. A user sketches a rough shape with a mouse or finger, the model guesses what they are trying to draw using the recognition technology behind Google's Quick Draw experiment, and a strip of polished icons appears above the canvas. Clicking one swaps the scribble for a clean version, which can then be finished with the tool's color, text and shape controls and downloaded. It is for anyone who needs a quick, presentable graphic and cannot draw: teachers making worksheets, people putting together an invitation or a flyer, presenters who want a simple illustration without opening a design suite. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets, laptops and desktops with nothing to install. The library recognizes hundreds of subjects, and Google runs an artist submission program for illustrators who want to contribute drawings. There is no pricing. AutoDraw is free, requires no account and has no paid tier; the creators describe it as nothing to download and nothing to pay for. It launched in 2017 as a Google experiment, credited to Dan Motzenbecker and Kyle Phillips, and it remains a lightweight utility rather than an evolving design application. Output is limited to the shapes in the library, so it suits icons and simple scenes, not detailed illustration.
