What is Doodle AI?
Doodle AI Studio is a browser-based workspace for turning written ideas and reference images into hand-drawn visuals. You can combine a prompt with a Pen Lab style, choose an image size, track the credit cost, and open the generated image in your browser.
Who uses it?
- Teachers and facilitators making lesson illustrations, worksheet concepts, and workshop visuals.
- Product and UX teams sketching low-fidelity flows, interface ideas, and presentation concepts.
- Creators and small studios exploring sticker, character, social-post, and notebook-style artwork.
Core workflows
- Start from text or images – Describe the result you want, or upload up to four reference images.
- Choose a style and size – Apply a Pen Lab preset and select square, landscape, portrait, or wide output.
- Review the cost – Text-to-image currently costs 15 credits; image-to-image costs 20 credits. Failed generations return the reserved credits.
- Open or revisit the result – Open the generated image from the result panel and review generation status in your activity history.
