What's New & Updates
Use the Feedback button at the bottom of the page to write to us. Email is optional; your drawing and chat are not attached.
The drawing workspace now opens at its own address, with more consistent reload and return navigation. Existing room invitations still work. Manage optional visit analytics through privacy settings.
The site opens in English; choose Turkish from the language selector. Room buttons stay on screen on tablets. Invitation links fill in the room code; chat with the keyboard open and autosaving selected areas have been improved.
Pinch zoom keeps the point between your fingers in place. The eyedropper includes layer effects; text selection stays on the active layer. Leaving clears old text and touch state, and delayed restore prompts cannot affect a newer session.
Open tools and layers directly from the top bar. The participant list scrolls; long names and room buttons stay within their panels. Collapsed chat takes up less canvas space.
Participant access and image and drawing data checks in shared rooms were strengthened. Large or unsupported images are checked before they affect your drawing; PNG, JPG and WebP imports are supported.
Spacing in the top, left and right menus was reduced, giving you more drawing space while keeping buttons, icons and text at the same size.
Use the Fullscreen button beside the zoom controls to fill your screen with the editor. The top and side menus stay visible; use the button or Esc to exit.
Fixed a freeze that could occur when filling with a color close to the original shade. Region boundaries and color tolerance are preserved.
English names for comic and guide templates are now complete. Dialog titles, close buttons and export controls have clearer screen reader labels.
Switch between Turkish and English on guide and information pages. Related guide links were added, and the guide now explains how Fill works with layers.
Drawings made at the same time are applied in one shared order. Late room participants receive the current canvas, and incomplete transfers retry automatically.
Autosaves are confirmed after the transaction finishes. An old room connection cannot replace a newer session, and failed sends retry with the same operation ID.
Canvas background changes now participate in undo, autosave and room history. Imported images reach everyone in the room with the same transparency.
Layers can be selected from the keyboard, and compact menus announce their state to screen readers. Layer and export limits are clearer for large drawings.
Stamp hearts, leaves, snowflakes or flowers; draw with dry brush and watercolor textures. Create blended fills with a two-color gradient. Pixel Pen is also available as a separate tool.
Neon, Rainbow and texture brushes now share one dropdown. Your last effect is remembered, and the options can be scrolled on smaller screens.
Undo and redo your own last 20 drawing strokes. Other participants’ drawings and shared layer operations are preserved; someone else drawing does not clear your personal history.
Duplicate notices are no longer added repeatedly. Up to three notices appear at the bottom, and unchanged drawing permissions do not trigger extra notifications.
Line and arrow tools now share one menu, including a new Double Arrow. The Eyedropper moved beside the color palette and returns to your previous tool after picking a color.
Cursor updates were reduced while preserving drawing and chat delivery. Your anonymous room session is retained when you refresh the same tab. The privacy information was updated.
The Magic Wand and automatic game panel were removed. You can still run your own drawing activities with friends on the shared canvas.
The collection grew with children’s coloring pages, art and geometry drawings. Choose from 50 templates using their actual previews.
Layer additions, deletions, ordering and settings can be undone, and layer changes are included in autosave. Blend modes and filters are also applied to exported images, saved previews and timelapse output.
You can return to the home page from the entrance screen. Mobile chat, emoji and zoom controls were improved; the room list scrolls, and tooltips adjust near screen edges and also work with the keyboard.
The host can close or reopen the room to new participants at any time. People already inside can keep drawing and watching.
The host can remove a participant from the room. The participant returns to the entrance screen and sees a clear notification.
Participants without drawing permission are labelled Viewer. A small notice at the top keeps the canvas visible while you watch.
Leaving rooms and quickly rejoining have been improved. Old room indicators are cleared when you leave.
Refresh updates the room list without reloading the page. Locked rooms are labelled, and connection errors have a separate message.
Contact pages are now available in Turkish and English. Email info@deringames.com for support and review the updated privacy policy.
A new export dialog offering PNG with or without background, JPG for smaller files, saving every layer as a separate file, and 1x / 2x / 4x resolution.
Record your whole drawing process as a video and download it as a webm file.
Your drawing is stored automatically in your browser. Even if the tab closes or the page reloads, you are offered the chance to pick up right where you left off.
Save your favourite brush, thickness, and colour combination, then recall it with a single click.
Hold Alt and drag on the canvas to set brush thickness without opening a panel or breaking your flow.
Resize the area you selected using its handles, and rotate it freely.
When the canvas background is set to a colour other than white, the eyedropper now picks the real background colour on empty areas instead of white.
Fixed an issue that caused image downloads to fail silently on iPhone and iPad. A success message is also no longer shown when the download did not actually complete.
2-way vertical/horizontal mirror, 4-way diagonal, and 8-way circular Mandala symmetry! A single stroke is instantly mirrored in 8 directions.

Send animated floating emoji reactions (❤️, 👏, 🔥, 😮, 😂, 🎨) onto the canvas in multiplayer rooms.
