What is the Whiteboard?

Sometimes an idea is faster to draw than to describe — a quick diagram, a seating plan, a shape you're explaining to someone on a call. This online whiteboard gives you a blank canvas the moment the page loads, with colours, brush sizes and an eraser, and lets you save the result as an image.

It runs entirely in your browser: nothing you draw is uploaded, and you can download your sketch as a PNG whenever you like.

What does this tool do?

It's a freehand drawing surface. Pick a colour and brush size and draw with your mouse, finger or stylus; switch to the eraser to clean up; clear the board to start over. When you're done, save the whole canvas as a PNG.

There are no accounts and no layers to manage — just a fast, friendly place to sketch.

Tips

  • Save a PNG before you reload — the board isn't stored between visits.
  • Use a larger brush for filling and a small one for detail and labels.
  • Switch to the eraser rather than clearing everything when you just need a small fix.
  • On a touchscreen, a stylus gives far more control than a fingertip for fine work.
  • Zoom your browser out first if you want more room to draw on a small screen.

Common mistakes to avoid

Reloading without saving

Fix: The canvas isn't stored — download a PNG before you leave or refresh.

Clearing to fix one stroke

Fix: Use the eraser for small corrections so you don't lose the whole drawing.

Drawing tiny on a big canvas

Fix: Pick a brush size that suits the detail you need before you start.

Expecting layers or shapes

Fix: This is a freehand board; use a full design app if you need vectors or layers.
