Google Drawing Program

Google Drawings is a web-based diagramming software part of the Google Docs Editors suite developed by Google. It allows users to collaborate and work together in real time to create flowcharts, organisational charts, website wireframes, mind maps, concept maps, and other types of diagrams. Google Drawings is also available as a Chrome app that works offline, available from the Chrome Web Store.[1] Google Drawings is hosted on Google Drive where all files created with the application are saved by default. It was originally introduced on April 12, 2010 as Google Docs drawings, a tool for making drawings in Google Docs.[2]

Google Drawings allows multiple users to open and edit drawings simultaneously in real-time.

It allows importing images from the computer or from the Web as well as inserting shapes, arrows, scribbles and text from predefined templates. Objects can be moved, resized and rotated. The software also allows for basic editing of images, including cropping, applying masks and adding borders.[3] Other features include laying out drawings precisely with alignment guides, snapping to grid, and auto-distribution. Unlike many of the other software in the Google Docs Editors suite, Google Drawings does not have its own dedicated home.

Drawings can be inserted into other Google documents, spreadsheets, or presentations. They can also be published online as images or downloaded in standard formats such as JPEG, SVG, PNG, or PDF.[4][5][6][7]

Google Drawing

  1. Insert an image of a blackline master (there are thousands available free online) and mark it up or have students mark it up.
  2. Mark up screen shots to show students how to complete a process online.
  3. Create Venn diagrams and other mind maps/graphic organizers. If you use these often, consider making your own templates!
  4. Make comic strips by inserting photos and adding speech bubbles. Students of all ages love to show what they know with comics. Comics can also be a great way for you to introduce a lesson topic.
  5. Help ELL or foreign language students learn vocabulary or prepositions by asking them to rearrange labeled furniture on a floor plan according to specific verbal or written directions.
  6. Use Google drawing for virtual manipulatives (via Alice Keeler)
  7. Have students make backgrounds for Google slide presentations.
  8. Create geometry drawings.
  9. Visual vocabulary: Have students create a picture or symbol that helps them remember/understand the meaning of vocabulary word. Try out this Frayer Model Google Drawing template!
  10. Make a family tree.
  11. Make character wheels to show personality traits for characters in books.
  12. Design classroom or project posters.
  13. Make word webs (via Teachers Using Tech.)
  14. Create seating charts.
  15. Make timelines that include images and dates.
  16. Create your own KWL charts and have students complete them together in small groups.
  17. Make a GoogLink! Ever heard of ThingLink? You can do a similar process with your students to create an image with links in Google Drawings.


Find images with transparent backgrounds by adding 'png' to your image search text. You can also choose to add 'transparent background' if 'png' is not loading any results.


Customize the size of your Google Drawing by choosing 'File' and 'Page Setup.' Click on 'Standard' and choose 'Custom.' Here you can adjust the starting size of your drawing by inches, centimeters, points or pixels. If you want a high-resolution image at the end of your project, I'd recommend clicking 'Pixels' and then doubling or tripling the number in each box. That way, your image will look the same on your screen but the detail will be much greater.Add a text box for directions to the left or right of your template. That way, students don't have to click away from their work to see what is expected of them and it saves you a trip to the copy room!

Change the coloring or transparency of an image to make it appear older. Students can adjust the image of their choice by selecting the image, clicking 'Image Options' from the toolbar and choosing their desired option under 'Recolor.' They can also adjust the image transparency in the same menu.
