Draw Character

Draw a symbol or crop one from an image. Combine its shape with a category or name clue. Recognition runs locally.

Find a symbol from an image

Paste an image while the drawing area is focused, or choose a file. Crop to one symbol on a plain background. Crop values are percentages of the original image.

Draw with a mouse, finger or pen. Keyboard: arrow keys move the cursor; Space starts or ends a stroke. Results are suggestions, not guarantees. The eraser removes an entire touched stroke. Image crops can be replaced or undone.

Matching characters

Draw to see matching characters automatically. The first match downloads about 16 MB; drawings stay on your device.

    Recognition coverage, engines and licenses

    The symbol recognizer downloads about 16 MB on first use. It recognizes only its 411-symbol catalog.

    Experimental font matching compares normalized outlines in the bundled Noto fonts. It has not been trained on handwriting and can confuse similar shapes. It excludes controls, private-use ranges and characters missing from these fonts. Font packs download on request and comparisons run in a worker; a narrower category reduces the comparison set. This is a separate engine from the 411-symbol classifier. No percentage confidence is claimed.
