Doodly: How do I Import A Custom Image Into Doodly?

Learn how to import custom images into Doodly, including accepted file formats, how to upload and delete images from your library, and how to invert black images for use on dark or chalkboard backgrounds.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Using the Correct Format

Doodly accepts uploads of PNG, JPG, and SVG image files and animated GIFs (a recommended size of less than 1MB).


The maximum allowed image size is 1920 X 1080. Upon importing, your custom image will be added to your personal image library.

For the best results and clearest images of Doodly uploads, we have a few recommendations:

  • SVGs will yield the best results.

  • PNGs (with transparent background) with a resolution of at least 72 ppi are a great alternative.

Important: For imported files, the default draw path is a wide, sweeping motion. If another illustration pattern is desired, you will need to create a custom path for your image.

Uploading an Image

  1. To upload a custom image file, navigate to the "Props" menu of your Doodly Dashboard and click the blue and white + symbol.

Deleting an Image From Your Library
