Drawing tools

Choose the right brush for the job

PencilGood for thinner freehand lines, handwritten notes and simple sketches.
MarkerUse for stronger strokes, bold outlines and quick visual callouts.
HighlighterUseful for emphasising text or areas while keeping the image visible underneath.
Paint BrushCreates a softer, broader painted look for more expressive doodles.
SprayAdds a scattered paint effect that works well for decorative edits.
ChalkCreates a rougher textured line for handwritten or sketch-style effects.
NeonAdds a bright glowing-style stroke for social graphics and creative edits.
EraserRemoves doodle marks so you can correct an area without replacing the original photo.
Shapes & stampsUse arrows, circles, rectangles, hearts, stars, ticks, crosses and other marks for faster editing.
Pro tip: For annotations, use a bright colour with medium opacity and keep arrows or circles slightly away from the detail you are pointing at so the important part of the photo stays visible.

Better results

Tips for cleaner doodles and annotations

Use thicker lines on busy photos

Fine lines can disappear into detailed backgrounds. Increase brush size when you need marks to stand out.

Reduce opacity for highlighting

Lower opacity lets you mark an area without completely covering the detail underneath.

Use shapes for precision

Arrows, rectangles and circles often look cleaner than freehand drawing when you are explaining something.

Choose contrasting colours

Bright marks work better on dark photos, while darker colours are easier to see over pale backgrounds.

Use Undo early

If a mark looks wrong, undo it straight away rather than adding more edits around it.

Keep important details clear

Place doodles around faces, text and key subjects unless covering them is part of the intended design.

Browser-based editing

Edit without changing the original photo

The Doodle on Photo editor is designed to process the selected image in your browser and create a separate edited copy for download. Your original photograph remains unchanged while you draw, erase, add shapes and experiment with colours.

Privacy note

The editor is designed to work in your browser rather than requiring the image to be uploaded to the MixPlay server for ordinary editing. Before sharing a marked-up screenshot or photo, check it for private text, names, addresses, account details or other visible information.
