Stream Doodle FAQ

Q. What makes the lines wiggle?

Every stroke is simultaneously rendered across 3 independent frames with subtle coordinate jitter noise. The 12 FPS playback loop continuously cycles through these frames to produce a hand-drawn cartoon "line boil" animation.

Q. Can I export transparent GIFs for Discord or OBS?

Yes! Switch the canvas mode to [Transparent] or [OBS Chroma Green]. When you click [Export GIF], the background color is preserved or made transparent so your animation looks amazing anywhere.

Q. Does it work with Apple Pencil, S-Pen, or touchscreens?

Absolutely. Native pointer events support stylus pressure, finger touches, and mouse drags with touch scrolling lock (touch-action: none) for a smooth drawing feel.

Q. Can I zoom in, zoom out, or pan the canvas?

Yes! Use the floating [− / + / 100%] zoom controls in the bottom-right corner or hold Ctrl while scrolling the mouse wheel. To pan around when zoomed in, hold Space and drag or toggle the Hand tool (✋) button.

Q. What brushes are available? How do I make highlighter strokes or pixel art?

Stream Doodle features distinct brushes including standard Pen (with Circle ● and Square ■ tip shapes for pixel art), Paint Bucket (flood fill across all 3 boiling frames), Spray, and Pencil. You can switch brush tips and adjust Opacity (10%–100%) to create translucent highlighter pens and subtle layered color blends.

Q. How do I remove an uploaded reference photo?

Whenever a photo is imported, a floating [✕ Remove Photo] badge appears right above the canvas, as well as a remove button in the left sidebar. Clicking either button completely clears the reference photo layer.

Q. Are my drawings stored or uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs 100% locally in your web browser. No accounts, no cloud uploads, and complete creative privacy.
