A whiteboard for quick ideas.

Map out a flow, run a brainstorm or sketch an idea on an endless canvas. Draw shapes that stay connected, add sticky notes, frames and images, then present it or export it as a picture or a vector file. No sign-up, and it works on a phone too.

How to use the whiteboard

  1. Pick a tool or start from a template

    Choose a shape, a sticky note, text, a frame or the pen from the left toolbar, or insert a flowchart, mind map, SWOT or retrospective from Templates.

  2. Draw, connect and arrange

    Drag to draw. Pull a blue dot from a shape to connect it to another and the line follows when you move either one. Align, group and lock items from the style panel.

  3. Present or export the board

    Press Present to step through your frames as slides, or export a PNG, SVG or PDF. Boards autosave in this browser and can be saved as files or shared as a read-only link.

A whiteboard is the fastest way to think out loud: a rough flow, a layout, a list of ideas on sticky notes. This one opens instantly, never asks you to sign in and keeps the canvas endless so you do not run out of room. Everything stays in your browser.

What it does

  • Shapes with text inside: rectangle, ellipse, diamond, triangle, hexagon, star, parallelogram, cylinder and callout, with fill, stroke, dashes, opacity, rounded corners and rotation.
  • Connectors that attach to shapes and follow them: straight, elbow or curved, with arrowheads, line styles and labels.
  • Sticky notes, text in four fonts, frames with titles, images you paste or drop, and a pen, highlighter, eraser and laser pointer.
  • Select and marquee, group, lock, align, distribute, duplicate with Alt drag, snap to other items and guides, and a right-click menu.
  • Seven templates, several boards with thumbnails, find on the board, a minimap, and light and dark boards.
  • Present mode that turns frames into slides, with arrow keys and a laser pointer.
  • Export to PNG, JPG, SVG or PDF, save boards as files, open them again, and copy a read-only link.

Online Whiteboard: questions and answers

Is the online whiteboard free?

Yes. There is no account, no watermark and no limit on how much you draw or how many boards you keep.

Is my whiteboard saved?

Yes, automatically, in this browser. Nothing is uploaded. If you clear site data or switch device the boards will not be there, so save a board file or an image for anything you want to keep.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. Draw with a finger or a stylus, pinch to zoom and drag with two fingers to move. The toolbar sits along the bottom of the screen and the style panel opens above it.

Can several people draw on the same board?

Not live. This is a private, single-user board. To share it, copy a read-only link or export a PNG, SVG or PDF, or send the board file so the other person can open it on their device.

How do connectors work?

Choose the connector tool, or drag one of the blue dots that appear around a selected shape, and drop it on another shape. The line attaches to the nearest side and follows the shapes when you move them. Use the style panel to switch between straight, elbow and curved lines and to set the arrowheads.

How do I present?

Draw a frame around each slide, then press Present. Use the arrow keys or the on-screen buttons to move between frames. A laser pointer is built in, and Escape ends the show.

What are the keyboard shortcuts?

V select, H pan, P pen, M highlighter, E eraser, R shapes, O ellipse, D diamond, C connector, T text, N sticky note, F frame, I image, K laser. Ctrl or Cmd with Z undoes, with D duplicates, with G groups, with L locks, with A selects all and with F finds. Hold Space to pan, press Shift and 1 to fit everything and press ] or [ to change the stacking order.
