Draw it.
Watch it come alive.
A child's drawing becomes a character that moves, speaks and remembers them — animated from the child's own lines, never redrawn by an AI.
In development · not yet released
One hand-drawn horse inside Scribblie — the drawing's own strokes, moved by the renderer on the device.
The problem
Children draw characters.
Screens only let them watch someone else's.
Drawings stay flat
A child's character never moves, speaks, or remembers them. It goes on the fridge and stops there.
Animation tools are adult tools
Rigging and keyframing are out of reach for a six-year-old.
General image AI replaces the child
It redraws the character in its own style, and the child's own lines disappear.
How it works
A drawing becomes a character — from its own strokes
Scribblie reads the picture as pixels. No filename, label or prompt tells it what the child drew.
Pixels in
The child draws. Nothing about the picture is typed in or labelled.
Body parts
Head, neck, body, tail and legs are found in the shape itself.
Bones & weights
A mesh, bones and skin weights are built from the strokes — never redrawn.
It moves
Walks, runs, eats — only the movements the drawing actually allows.
It talks back
The character speaks in a voice of its own and remembers the child.
Winged dragons fly. Wingless ones hop. Fish swim and horses gallop — the drawing decides, not a menu.
Honest build status
What works today — and what comes next
Draw, watch, talk
A drawing becomes a moving character on the phone, speaks in a voice of its own, and remembers the child between visits. The animation runs on the device itself; the voice service runs on Google Cloud Run.
Talking back by voice
Children pick what to say today. Speaking to their character out loud is being built — the speech-to-text path is not finished.
Any creature a child invents
A vision model so Scribblie recognises anything a child draws, not only the animals it already knows. Not built yet.
3D characters
Turning a flat drawing into a 3D character. This is research we have not started; no 3D model has run.
Where Scribblie stands: it is in active development. It is not on the App Store or Google Play, it has no public users, and we are not claiming any. Every step above keeps the child's own lines.
Children & privacy
Built for children, so we say plainly where we are
The child's work stays the child's
Scribblie animates the strokes a child drew. It does not generate a new picture in place of theirs.
Animation happens on the device
Characters are rendered on the phone itself. The cloud is used for the voice service and for saving a child's characters and memories.
No compliance is claimed yet
We have not completed a COPPA or DPDP assessment, and we do not claim any certification. That work happens before any public release.
