HOW TO

How to use

  1. Draw inside the circle with your mouse or finger, and your strokes are rotated and copied around the center.
  2. Change the number of segments (4–16) with the slider, the −/+ buttons or the [ ] keys. Turn on Mirror mode to also reflect each segment.
  3. Choose a pen color: Rainbow (shifts as you draw), one of nine colors or a custom color. Adjust width, glow and background (Night, Ink, Paper).
  4. Undo (Ctrl+Z) removes one stroke at a time, and Save PNG downloads a 2048×2048 image. Try Random pattern for an instant example.

FAQ

FAQ

What happens to my drawing if I change the symmetry?

Your strokes are stored as coordinates, so when you change the segment count or mirror mode, the whole drawing is redrawn with the new settings. The same goes for changing the background.

I pressed Clear all by mistake.

Press Undo right away, before drawing anything new, and the cleared drawing comes back.

Will my drawing still be there after I refresh?

Your strokes and settings are saved automatically in this browser, so you can pick up where you left off. In private browsing or with site storage blocked they aren't kept, and very large drawings that exceed storage keep only the settings.

What's in the saved PNG?

A 2048×2048 square image of your drawing, cropped to the circle on the background color. The on-screen guides are not included.
