StrokeberryA browser-based Doodly alternative for your own images
Doodly is a desktop doodle-video app built around its own drawings. Strokeberry runs in your browser and draws any image you upload. A fair comparison.
Doodly is a desktop app for Mac and PC for making doodle videos: you drag its hand-drawn characters and scenes onto a whiteboard, blackboard or glassboard and it draws them in. You can import your own images too, and set their draw paths by pointing and clicking.
Strokeberry starts from your own image every time and works out the drawing for you: it finds the lines, draws them in a natural order with a realistic hand, then paints the colour in. Nothing to install, nothing to trace by hand.

Where Strokeberry is the better fit
- You want your own artwork drawn, not stock doodles. Your logo, your product, your illustration, your lesson sheet.
- You don’t want to trace draw paths. Strokeberry decides the order: big shapes first, then details, then the colour.
- You work on more than one computer, or on one where you can’t install software, like a school laptop.
- Vertical social video. 9:16 and 4:5 are one click away.
Where Doodly is the better fit
- Character-led explainers built from a ready-made cast of doodle people and scenes.
- Voiceover inside the app.
- Glassboard and green-screen styles.
