Is What to Draw Free to Use?

Yes! The What to Draw website and mobile app are completely free, with no hidden costs. All features, including wheel creation, spinning, and sharing, are available at no charge. We’re committed to keeping it that way to support the creative community.

How Random Are the Drawing Prompts?

To ensure fairness and unpredictability, What to Draw uses the Crypto.getRandomValues() JavaScript method (or Math.random() in older browsers) to generate spin results.

• Crypto.getRandomValues() provides cryptographically strong randomness, making it ideal for unbiased outcomes.
• While it’s not a "true" random number generator, the pseudo-random algorithm is seeded with high entropy, ensuring results are unpredictable and fair.

This level of randomness is perfect for generating drawing ideas that feel fresh and exciting every time.
