How to use Online whiteboard

  1. 1

    Pick a tool

    Choose the pen for lines that thicken with stylus pressure, the translucent marker for highlighting, or the eraser.

  2. 2

    Draw

    Sketch with a mouse, a finger or a pen tablet; the board keeps a 16:10 shape and scales to your screen without distorting.

  3. 3

    Fix mistakes

    Undo with Ctrl+Z and redo with Ctrl+Shift+Z, as many steps back as you like, even after clearing the whole board.

  4. 4

    Save the picture

    Click Export PNG for a 3200 × 2000 image with a white or dark background, ready for slides, chats or documents.

Limits and Pro

Free with no sign-up: one board per browser with unlimited strokes and undo steps, 6 preset colours per board style plus a custom colour, pen sizes from 1 to 40, and PNG export at 3200 × 2000 pixels.

About Online whiteboard

This whiteboard is a drawing surface for explaining something quickly: a floor plan for a moving company, the boxes and arrows of a system design, a maths problem for a student, or a doodle while you are on a call. It opens straight onto the board, with three tools and a handful of colours, so there is nothing to learn before the first line.

The pen responds to pressure from a stylus, such as an Apple Pencil, a Surface Pen or a Wacom tablet: press harder for a bolder line. With a mouse or a finger the width stays even. The marker draws a see-through stroke that doesn't darken where it crosses itself, which is useful for highlighting part of a diagram. The eraser removes ink but leaves the board colour, and the dark board swaps the pen colours for light ones so chalk-style drawings stay readable.

Every stroke is stored as a list of points rather than as pixels, so the board redraws sharply when you resize the window or rotate a tablet, and undo works stroke by stroke. Drawings save to this browser automatically and come back the next time you open the page.

It is a single board for one person: there is no real-time collaboration, no infinite canvas, no shapes or text tool, and no way to import an image to draw on.

Privacy

Your drawing never leaves the device. Strokes are kept in this browser's IndexedDB storage and exported to PNG on your own computer; no image, stroke or pointer data is sent to our server or any other service. Clearing the site's data deletes the board, so export a PNG first if you want to keep it.

Online whiteboard: frequently asked questions

Does the whiteboard support pen pressure?
Yes. When you draw with a stylus that reports pressure, such as an Apple Pencil on an iPad, a Surface Pen or a Wacom tablet in a browser that passes pressure through, the pen line grows thicker as you press harder. Mice and fingers don't report pressure, so their lines keep the width set by the size slider. The marker and the eraser always use an even width.
Can several people draw on the same whiteboard?
No. The board lives in your browser and is never sent to a server, so there is nothing for anyone else to connect to. To share a drawing, export it as a PNG and send the file, or present your screen in a video call. Two tabs of the same browser do share one board, and the second tab picks up changes saved by the first.
How big is the exported image?
Export PNG produces a 3200 by 2000 pixel image, twice the board's internal resolution, so lines stay crisp on slides and high-density screens. The background is white for the light board and near-black for the dark board; erased areas show that background rather than transparency. File size depends on how much you drew and is usually well under one megabyte.
I cleared the board by accident. Can I get it back?
Yes. Clearing is recorded like any other step, so press Undo, Ctrl+Z on Windows and Linux or Cmd+Z on a Mac, or use the Undo button in the message that appears, and every stroke returns. The undo history is saved together with the drawing, so stepping back still works after you reload the page or reopen it the next day.
Can I use the whiteboard on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Touch drawing works in mobile Safari and Chrome, and the page doesn't scroll while your finger is on the board. Only one finger or pen draws at a time, so resting a second finger doesn't add stray marks. On a small phone screen the board shrinks to fit the width but keeps its proportions, so drawings look the same on every device.
