## 🌟 Tip of the week - Quickly Edit Images with Google Drawings

You might know typing in "cal.new" into the browser opens up a new Calendar event, but have you tried "drawing.new"? 😉

Instead of using Google Slides or PowerPoint to make some changes to an image, you can do quite a bit with Google Drawings:

- Set specific image dimensions
- Crop
- Flip images
- Add annotations
- Download formats including .png, .jpg, and even .svg!
- ...and much much more!

You can also access by going to your Google Drive > + New > More > Google Drawings!
