A Free Online Whiteboard in Your Browser
The online whiteboard gives you a zoomable, infinite canvas for drawing, sketching, and diagramming right in your browser. Draw freehand strokes, drop in shapes and arrows, add text, and place images — no account, no download, nothing to install.
It suits anyone who needs to think visually: teachers explaining math or ideas, students taking visual notes, designers sketching layouts, or anyone who just wants to doodle. Your canvas and settings save to your browser automatically, so you can close the tab and pick up exactly where you left off.
How to Use the Whiteboard
Draw freehand
Pick the Pen tool (or press P) and draw straight on the canvas. Switch the Brush Style between Pen, Pencil, Ink, Marker, Highlighter, Calligraphy, Dashed, or Dotted, then fine-tune the look with the Thinning, Streamline, and Taper controls.
Add shapes, arrows, and text
Choose Line (L), Rectangle (R), Ellipse (O), or Arrow (A) and drag to draw. Turn on Fill for a semi-transparent fill, or use the Text tool (T) to click and type anywhere.
Set color and background
Pick a stroke color from the picker or quick palette, adjust the stroke width (1–100) and opacity (10–100%), then choose a Solid, Grid, or Dots background in any color you like.
Move around the canvas
Zoom with the mouse wheel or the +/− buttons, and pan with the Hand tool (H), right-click drag, middle mouse, or Space + drag. On touch screens, pinch to zoom and use two fingers to pan. Click Fit to Screen to reset the view.
Export your work
Use the Select tool (V) to move or delete objects, the Eraser (E) to remove items by clicking, then tap the PNG button to download what's on screen as an image.
