5. Where can I obtain free commercial use assets including images, fonts, Doodly like characters, video, sound effects, TTS, and gif animations?
There are a crazy amount of places online to obtain these items. I have a list of these specifically related to audio in my Working with Audio video tutorial. Watch that and there is a section dedicated on where to obtain free commercial use audio files.
Additionally, I provide a similar list in my Working with Images video tutorial so watch that as well and for TTS or Text To Speech, I provide a free alternatives chapter in my Talkia Walkthrough video tutorial.

Free Doodly Provided Characters
List of free characters that will show up automatically in Doodly:Q. What do I do with a .das file?
A. Refer to question #1.
How do I import the survey images into Doodly?
Since Click Funnel purchased Bryxen, I do not know whether these surveys still exist. Given the removal of all free Doodly material, I am going to guess they probably do not. If they still exist, here are the instructions.
If you received the zip file and don’t know what to do with it because you closed out of the instructions.
- Open the zip file.
- This will show you with 2 folders, black and white and color.
- Unzip or drag these folders to somewhere on your computer that you will remember. ie. Documents, Desktop, Pictures folder, etc.
- Now import them like you would a normal image. If you don’t know how then watch our Working with Images video tutorial.
- If you imported one image at a time then you were given the opportunity to rename them. If you imported all of them at once, right click each one and rename the images.
- Drag each image onto the canvas one by one.
- Go to the edit asset settings.
- Scroll down and click Load SVG paths.
- Scroll up and click the Save button. Now the image is ready to go for your doodles.
Note: For those of you that would like to be able to see the preview in Windows 10/11 for the SVG so you can rename them before you import them into Doodly. Download and install the following tool:
