oogle quietly released the Chrome Canvas web app, a tool for sketching and doodling directly within a browser. Typing “canvas.apps.chrome” in any browser that supports WebAssembly, like Chrome or Firefox, will direct you to the simple doodle web app where you can jot down notes and make quick sketches with your finger or a compatible pen.
Your work will automatically be saved to your Google account; no need to download anything, and there are no operating system limitations.
When you’re finished, the sketch can be exported as a PNG.
You can revisit your doodles on your phone, computer, or wherever else you access your Google profile.
