# Online Doodle Generator — Draw in Your Browser, No Install

**Direct answer:** The online doodle generator at [doodleai.art](https://doodleai.art) runs right in your browser — no install, no plugin. Sign in with Google, attach a photo, type a prompt in the box above, and run the [Normal skill](https://doodleai.art/skills/normal/) to get one square doodle. New accounts get free starter credits; after that each doodle is 1 credit and refunds on failure.

"Online" is the honest promise here. There is nothing to download, no setup wizard, no account beyond a Google sign-in. You land on the page and the tool is already there. The only requirement is a connection, because the drawing itself happens on the server rather than on your machine.

## What "online" gets you

Web-based means the same page works on a laptop, a tablet, or a phone. You attach a photo from wherever your pictures already live and generate without shuffling files into an app. Reading and browsing cost nothing; generating spends credits, starting with the free ones on a new account.

## Using it in the browser

1. Open this page and type a short prompt in the box above.
2. Sign in with Google.
3. Attach one clear photo.
4. Generate — one credit is reserved and a square doodle returns.
5. Download it, no export dialog required.
