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. 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, as visiting the Google Drawings URL creates a new document. ^{[citation needed]}

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.

Google Drawings was originally introduced on April 12, 2010, as Google Docs Drawings.

On August 1, 2011, Google announced that users would be able to copy and paste graphic elements between different Google Drawings.

On January 7, 2019, Google added embeds of Google Drawings files to Google Docs.
