AutoDraw

If you are not a designer and you want to make a quick event flyer… where do you go for that?

You probably have to download some app or buy a design program. So google introduced a new free app in their services. It’s called AutoDraw and turns our scribbles into perfect designs. The drawing should be basic and done on a blank page. Then the app recognizes it and suggests more sophisticated drawings of other artists who have sent their illustrations to the platform. It pairs machine learning with drawings from talented artists to help everyone create anything visual, fast. Theresn’t nothing to download. The process is instantaneous and completely free. Just enter the AutoDraw website and draw, the application deals with the details.

This app will help make drawing and creating a little more accessible and fun for everyone.
