Use this interactive demo to learn how to draw and customize freehand scribbles in Google Slides.

Quick summary

The Scribble tool in Google Slides lets you draw freehand lines directly on any slide using the Insert menu. Once drawn, you can customize the line color, line weight, and line dash style, then reposition or resize the scribble anywhere on the slide.


Steps

  1. Open your presentation in Google Slides.
  2. Navigate to the slide where you want to add a scribble.
  3. In the menu bar, click Insert, hover over Line, then click Scribble.
  4. Click and drag on the slide to draw your scribble, then release the mouse when done.
  5. Select your scribble and click Line color to change its color.
  6. Adjust the thickness of your scribble using Line weight.
  7. Change the styling of your scribble using Line dash.
  8. Review your scribble and use its resizing handles or drag it to reposition it anywhere on the slide.

📌 Why this matters

The Scribble tool in Google Slides gives presenters and educators a fast way to add freehand annotations, custom drawings, and handwritten-style emphasis directly to any slide — no third-party app required. Being able to control line color, weight, and dash style means scribbles can match any brand or design standard. This built-in drawing feature makes Google Slides a more versatile presentation tool for teachers, designers, and business users who need expressive, visual storytelling without leaving their browser.
