Create your doodle

Direct answer: The Doodle AI generator at doodleai.art is a chat-first tool that turns a photo into a hand-drawn doodle with AI. Sign in with Google, attach a photo, type your request in the box above, and run the Normal skill. Each doodle costs 1 credit and refunds on failure; new accounts get free starter credits.

Doodle AI is a studio you talk to. Instead of sliders and menus, you write what you want and attach a photo, and the AI answers with a drawing. That conversational shape is the point — refining a doodle feels like asking a friend to tweak a sketch, not wrestling with a control panel.

The chat-first workflow

Everything happens in one thread. You describe the doodle, attach the reference photo, and the AI returns a square image. Don’t love a detail? Reply with the fix and it draws again. Each generation is its own credit, and failed runs refund so you are never charged for nothing.

A prompt to open with

Doodle of me from this photo. Keep the round glasses and the beanie. Flat color, no text, warm-white background.

Short and specific beats long and vague. Two or three named features give the AI something to hold.

Other names for the same engine: the AI Doodle Generator, Doodle Generator AI, and AI Doodle Maker. For the plain tool, see the Doodle Generator. No photo? The Surprise skill draws from text. Full list in the skills catalog.
