The Quick, Draw! Dataset is a collection of 50 million timestamped vector drawings across 345 categories, contributed by players of Google's Quick, Draw! game. This repository provides documentation and access instructions for the raw ndjson files and preprocessed formats for machine learning, research, and creative projects.

Use cases

• train a sketch or doodle classifier
• get 50 million labeled drawings for machine learning
• research how people draw around the world
• build a drawing recognition model with tensorflow
• download quickdraw ndjson data by category
• create generative art from doodle data
• analyze stroke-level drawing data

When to choose

• you need large-scale labeled sketch data for training neural networks
• you want stroke-level vector drawing data with metadata like country and timestamp
• you are doing research or creative projects with human doodles

When to avoid

• you need photographic images rather than vector doodles
• you require a permissively licensed dataset - the license is custom (NOASSERTION)
• you need curated, guaranteed-clean data - some drawings may contain inappropriate content
