Whiteboard. Sketch it, keep it local.

Draw freehand, drop sticky notes, connect shapes with arrows and type anywhere, on a canvas that lives entirely in your browser. Auto-saves locally, exports PNG or JSON, nothing is ever uploaded.

A free online tool by Digital Heroes
0 objects Del remove selected Ctrl+Z undo

Your board is saved only in this browser (localStorage) and never uploaded. Pen, shapes, notes & text all live as editable objects.

A real whiteboard that stays on your machine

Every stroke, shape, arrow and sticky note is kept as an editable object, pick the Select tool to move or delete anything, and undo/redo as much as you like. The board auto-saves to your browser so a reload won't lose your work, and you can export it as a crisp PNG for slides or as JSON to reopen later. No drawing library, no server, just a canvas painted locally. Completely free, completely private, works offline once loaded.

§ 02 · what you can do

Everything a whiteboard should do.

  • Draw freehand with the pen tool at any stroke width and color, including a custom color picker.
  • Add shapes: rectangles, ellipses, lines and arrows, with optional fill. Hold Shift for perfect squares, circles and 45°-snapped lines.
  • Place sticky notes in six colors and type directly on the canvas.
  • Type floating text anywhere, and double-click any text or note to re-edit it.
  • Move, recolor and delete any object with the Select tool, the toolbar or the Del key, with full undo/redo history.
  • Export your board as a crisp 2× PNG image or as JSON to back up and reopen later.
§ 03 · how to use it

Five steps, no manual.

  1. Pick a tool from the toolbar: pen, line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, text or sticky note, or press P, L, A, R, O, T or N to switch fast.
  2. Draw or click on the canvas. Use the Stroke swatches and Width slider to style your marks; check Fill to shade rectangles and ellipses.
  3. Switch to Select (V) to move or restyle any object. Double-click text or a sticky note to edit it; press Del to remove the selection.
  4. Use Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Shift+Z (or Ctrl+Y) to redo as many steps as you like.
  5. Click Download PNG for a crisp image, or Export JSON to save the board and reopen it later with Import JSON.
§ 04 · faq

Frequently asked questions.

Is the Whiteboard free?
Yes, completely free for everyone. No sign-up, no account and no usage limits.
Is it private? Are my drawings uploaded anywhere?
No upload, ever. The whiteboard runs entirely in your browser on your own device, the board is saved to local storage and never sent to a server. Once the page has loaded, drawing and exporting even work without a connection.
Will I lose my board if I close the tab?
No, the board auto-saves to this browser after every change and reloads when you come back. Clearing site data removes it, so use Export JSON for a backup you control.
What keyboard shortcuts does it support?
V select, P pen, L line, A arrow, R rectangle, O ellipse, T text, N sticky note, E eraser. Ctrl+Z undoes, Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y redoes, Del removes the selection. Hold Shift while drawing to snap lines and arrows to 45° or to draw perfect squares and circles. While typing, Esc or Ctrl+Enter finishes the text.
What is the difference between PNG and JSON export?
Download PNG renders the board at 2× resolution as a flat image, ideal for slides, docs and chat. Export JSON saves every object as editable data, so you can import it later (or on another device) and keep working exactly where you left off.
