Users can select a number of pre-defined or custom ink colors and drawing tools include a pencil, pen, marker, chalk, and eraser. The interface for Chrome Canvas is very simple.

If you’re on a system without support for a touchscreen or stylus - like Apple’s line of MacBook laptops - Chrome Canvas also works with a mouse or trackpad. Once Chrome Canvas launched, we were able to doodle using the Surface Pen, or my gliding my finger across the touchscreen. We tested Chrome Canvas by firing up the Chrome browser on a Windows 10-powered Surface Book, and Google’s new drawing app works as intended. The web app will work on the browser in Chrome OS, Windows, and MacOS, so you’re not limited to a Chrome OS-powered device.

All you need to do to access the app is to navigate to in your browser. Called Chrome Canvas, the app helps showcase the power of the digital stylus that is available on many convertible and detachable laptops on the market today, like the Pixelbook Pen that can be purchased alongside Google’s Pixelbook laptop or Pixel Slate tablet. Google quietly launched a new doodling app that allows you to draw or take notes right within the browser.
