How to use Online Whiteboard & Drawing
- Use the toolbar to select a shape, arrow, text or freehand tool, then draw on the canvas. Select an element to change its colours, line style and size.
- Use the hand tool or zoom controls to navigate. Undo/redo and keyboard shortcuts work inside the editor; expand the workspace for more room.
- Use Save drawing for an editable .excalidraw file. Open it later from the canvas menu, or download PNG/SVG for sharing. There is no automatic save between visits.
What this tool does
Uses the official open-source Excalidraw editor for an infinite drawing canvas, selection, resizing, shapes, arrows, text, freehand strokes, colours, layers, zoom and undo/redo. Open and save editable .excalidraw drawings locally, or export PNG and SVG. The separate Notes tab organises study notes into chapter sections, supports headings, bold/italic, lists and checklists, adds four optional study templates, attaches drawing snapshots, and exports one section or all notes to PDF. Preview and PDFs interpret the same supported formatting syntax. Notes can be explicitly saved on this device or downloaded as an editable JSON backup. Fonts are served from this site. Drawings are held in memory and are not autosaved. Live collaboration, cloud storage, accounts, AI generation and remote embeds are not included.
Supported files, limits & important details
Requires JavaScript and modern canvas, font and file APIs. Large or complex drawings can be slow. Top-bar PNG exports use a maximum 4096-pixel side; SVG exports remain vector drawings. Notes allow 20 sections, 20,000 text characters per section, 100,000 total, 8 MB backups and PNG snapshots up to 2048 pixels per side/4 million pixels/1.5 MB encoded. Notes PDFs: up to 80 A4 pages/40 MB; text is rendered as page images, not selectable/searchable text. Keep a JSON backup to edit. Device storage can be unavailable, full, shared or cleared by the browser. File-picker/clipboard support varies. No notes or scene data is uploaded for processing. Remote embeds are disabled.
Download an editable drawing before leaving; drawings have no autosave. Notes persist only after Save on this device, and have a separate Remove saved device copy option. Canvas Clear supports undo and is not secure erasure; reload discards the current drawing session.
Draw flowcharts, diagrams and visual notes
Map a process with rectangles and arrows, sketch a screen layout, or organise an idea with freehand marks and text. The whiteboard starts blank: you create and arrange the content yourself. It does not generate diagrams with AI.
On a phone, use the drawing toolbar and zoom controls to navigate. The canvas opens full-page; choose Page view to read these instructions and Full page to return to drawing. Large, image-heavy scenes can be slow on mobile devices.
Which whiteboard download should I choose?
- Editable .excalidraw: save the scene to reopen and continue editing shapes and text. Use Save drawing before leaving; this tool does not autosave.
- PNG: share a raster image in documents and messages. The top-bar export limits its longest side to 4096 pixels.
- SVG: share a vector diagram that stays sharp when scaled. Keep the editable drawing as well if you need to revise the original scene.
Make study notes section by section
Open Notes to organise subjects or chapters, write lesson notes with headings, bold/italic, lists and checklists, or add an optional study template. Live preview shows the supported formatting. You can also attach a snapshot of your current whiteboard. Download one section or the whole notebook as an A4 PDF. Each section starts on a new page. Notes PDF text is saved as page images, so keep the editable JSON backup if you need to revise it.
Save on this device stores notes in this browser only after you choose it. Notes are not autosaved, and browser cleanup can remove stored copies. Keep a backup, especially on a shared device. Drawing files and study-note backups are separate.
Follow the step-by-step whiteboard and flowchart guide for drawing, mobile navigation and choosing an export format.
