No installer needed: MolDraw runs in the browser.

**Looking for the ChemSketch download?** ChemSketch is no longer available to new users. Try MolDraw directly in your browser.

## Run MolDraw here — free chemical structure editor

You do not need an installer. Open the editor, draw molecules, use SMILES, view them in 3D, and export for class or lab work.

[Open MolDraw editor](https://www.moldraw.com/) [Optional: MolDraw for Windows](https://www.moldraw.com/blog/download-moldraw-windows.html)

## Why you may not need the download

You want a chemical structure editor that works today. ChemSketch is not available to new users, so looking for an installer wastes time and often leads to outdated third-party download pages. A browser editor lets you start drawing now.

MolDraw is a free, independent browser app from Scidart Academy. It is not ChemSketch and does not redistribute ChemSketch software.

## What to do instead of downloading ChemSketch

- [**Open MolDraw**](https://www.moldraw.com/) and start drawing in the browser
- Read [what ChemSketch is](https://www.moldraw.com/chemsketch) and how MolDraw compares as an alternative
- If you want to know what to check before you look for a free version, see [ChemSketch free / freeware](https://www.moldraw.com/chemsketch-free)
- If you want a Windows installer for MolDraw (not ChemSketch), use the [official MolDraw Windows guide](https://www.moldraw.com/blog/download-moldraw-windows.html)
