White eraser is just paint
Most “erasers” on digital boards literally paint white pixels. On transparent canvases, the eraser is just drawing alpha.

About This Drawing Tool
This online drawing and whiteboard tool gives you a clean, instant canvas for sketches, diagrams, and visual notes. It is built to feel lightweight and fast: open the page, pick a color, and draw. There is nothing to install, and everything runs locally in your browser, so your work stays private. Whether you are jotting down ideas, teaching a concept, or creating a quick mockup, this simple drawing canvas keeps the focus on getting your thoughts out quickly.
The concept is as straightforward as drawing on a real whiteboard. You choose a brush color and size, then drag to draw. The canvas captures each stroke, and you can undo or redo to refine your work. The grid toggle helps with alignment, while the white brush doubles as an eraser against the default background. When you are done, export your drawing as a PNG image to save, share, or drop into a document or presentation.
How to Use
- Pick a color: Select a color swatch to set your brush. Use white to erase on a white background.
- Set brush size: Move the brush slider to control line thickness.
- Draw freely: Click and drag (or touch and drag) to draw. Hold Shift to create straighter segments.
- Adjust the view: Toggle the grid on or off if you want clean alignment for charts or layouts.
- Undo or redo: Use keyboard shortcuts to step back or forward through strokes.
- Export your work: Click Export PNG to download the image file.
Why It Is Useful
Because the tool is simple, it fits many real-world needs. Students can sketch math problems or label science diagrams. Teachers can illustrate concepts during remote lessons. Designers can rough out layout ideas before moving to larger software. Teams can use it as a quick brainstorming whiteboard during meetings. It is also a handy image annotation tool when you need to mark up a screenshot or explain a concept visually.
If you are looking for a browser-based whiteboard, a quick drawing canvas, or an online sketchpad that saves to PNG, this tool delivers a clear, easy experience without distractions. Start a quick doodle, build a diagram, and export it in seconds.
5 Fun Facts about Doodling & Whiteboards
Undo stacks are memory hogs
Every undo snapshot can be millions of pixels. Limiting history (like 30 steps) keeps browsers from ballooning RAM.
Behind the scenes
Straight lines without a tool
Holding Shift while drawing often locks the slope—instant ruler mode without switching tools.
Hidden shortcut
Grids calm the wobble
A light grid lowers “line anxiety” and helps keep forms steady. Architects swear by graph paper for the same reason.
Steady hand
PNG is your friend
Whiteboards are flat art; PNG keeps crisp strokes and tiny text. JPG can blur edges; WebP is good if you want small files.
