Whiteboard
Sketch on a board; export as PNG or PDF.
Questions
What does this tool do?
The Whiteboard is a large board for a quick sketch or a diagram: a pen, text, lines, arrows, rectangles and ellipses, with select, move and resize, undo and redo, and the board saved in this browser as you draw. Export it as a PNG, or print it to PDF.
What can I draw?
Freehand with the pen, text, a line, an arrow, a rectangle and an ellipse, in a few sizes. Select what you drew to move or resize it; undo and redo as far back as the session goes. The board has no edges: zoom from 25 to 400 % with the wheel, a pinch or the buttons under the frame, and pan to reach the rest. No images and no layers.
Where is the board saved?
In this browser only, automatically, as one board. Open the page again and it is there until you clear it; another browser or device starts empty.
How do I export?
PNG as a file with Export PNG. PDF goes through the browser's print dialog: choose Save as PDF there.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Two fingers pan the board in any tool and pinch to zoom; with Select on, one finger on empty board pans, a drag on a shape moves it, and two quick taps on a text open it for editing. Handles are bigger on a touch screen.
Which keys does it understand?
Delete or Backspace removes the selected shape, Escape drops the selection. With the board focused, + and − zoom and 0 brings it back to 100 %. Undo and Redo are buttons on the board.
