Drawing Board
Sketch, annotate a screenshot or draw a quick diagram, then download it as PNG, JPG or WebP. Pen with stylus pressure, highlighter, shapes, arrows, text, fill and colour picker, with unlimited undo. Your drawing is autosaved in this browser and never uploaded.
How to use the drawing board
Pick a tool on the left, a colour and a size at the top, and draw with your mouse, finger or stylus. With a pen tablet or an Apple Pencil, the pen gets thicker the harder you press. Everything you do can be undone, and the drawing is saved in your browser as you go, so it is still there if you close the tab. When you're done, choose a format and press Download, or Copy it straight into a chat or document.
- Shapes and arrows: drag to draw. Hold Shift for straight lines at 15° steps, perfect squares and circles. Switch between outline and filled shapes at the top.
- Text: click where the text should start and type. Enter places it, Shift+Enter adds a new line and Esc cancels.
- Fill bucket: click inside a closed outline to fill it. Click a filled area to change its colour.
- Annotate a screenshot: paste it with Ctrl+V, drop the file on the board or use Insert image, then draw arrows, boxes and highlights on top.
- Transparent PNG: set the background to Transparent and download as PNG. JPG doesn't support transparency, so it gets a white background.
- Keep editing later: download a Project file (.json) and open it again with Open…, on any device. Images keep only the pixels, so you can't move strokes later.

Is my drawing private?
Yes. Everything happens in your browser: drawings and inserted images are never uploaded. The autosave lives in this browser's local storage, which holds a few megabytes, so very large drawings with many photos may stop autosaving. The status line tells you when that happens; download a project file to keep those safe.
