Their drawing,
come to life.

Your child draws on the screen, or snaps a drawing on paper. Tap Bring it to life and it blinks, bobs and waddles, in their own crayon lines.

Draw it. Watch it move.

  1. 1

    Draw

    With the crayons on the screen, or take a photo of a drawing on paper. Wobbly lines welcome.

  2. 2

    Bring it to life

    A grown-up holds the button to say go. In about a minute, the drawing starts to move.

  3. 3

    Watch and keep

    A little movie: the drawing alive on top, the drawing below, with its own title. Save the movie or a photo.

Their lines. Their colours. Their odd bits.

Doodle Alive doesn’t tidy the drawing up or swap it for something else. The three-legged dog keeps its three legs; the purple sun stays purple. It just starts to move, like a hand-drawn cartoon.

Every movie is 9:16, ready to share with grandparents.

Blue Bird

Drawing a bird with the crayons in Doodle AliveA drawing guide in Doodle Alive: a dotted bird outline to trace, step 3, “A pointy beak”

Stuck on what to draw?

Guides show a faint dotted outline to trace, one part at a time: “1. A big round body”, “2. A round head on top”… and finish with “Now colour it in!”. The guide stays on its own layer; only your child’s drawing comes to life.

Made with grown-ups in mind

  • A grown-up says go

    No credits are used until a grown-up holds the button to go ahead.

  • No passwords

    Grown-ups sign in with their email and a code we send. A device stays signed in, and can be signed out any time.

  • Videos don’t stay forever

    Doodle Alive doesn’t keep a gallery of past videos, so save the movie when it’s made. Each drawing and video is deleted from our server after 7 days.

  • Only the drawing is sent

    The drawing goes to an AI video service to be brought to life.

  • No ads, no selling

    No adverts, and we don’t sell anything about you or your child.

Questions

What do I need?

A phone or tablet with a web browser. Open draw.heywhim.ai and sign in with your email and the code we send you.

How long does it take?

Usually about a minute from “go” to the drawing moving.

Can my child use a drawing on paper?

Yes. Take a photo of it in Doodle Alive and bring that to life instead.

What happens to the drawings?

To make the video, the drawing is sent to an AI video service. Doodle Alive doesn’t show past videos, so save the movie when it’s made: the drawing and its video are deleted from our server after 7 days. The privacy notice has the details.
