Fun brushes to try
Rainbow brush
Keep drawing without lifting and the color drifts along the stroke, like a rainbow chasing your pen.
Glow brush
Strokes carry a neon halo — perfect for stars and names, best on the chalkboard.
Crayon
A grainy, waxy texture like a real crayon, great for filling in color blocks.
Chalkboard texture
Switch the canvas to chalkboard and use light colors — like chalk on a classroom board.

About this tool
Free online drawing board that opens in any browser — no download, no sign-up, no upload. Sketch with a smooth pen, play with rainbow / glow / crayon brushes, drag out lines, rectangles and ellipses, and fix mistakes with a big independently-sized eraser. Every stroke stays in your browser; the export button saves a clean PNG.
What's on the board
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| ✏️ Pen | Smooth freehand strokes, 1–30 px, four presets (fine / medium / bold / extra-bold) |
| 🌈 Rainbow | Hue shifts along the stroke — one drag paints a whole gradient |
| ✨ Glow | Neon halo effect, striking on the chalkboard texture |
| 🖍️ Crayon | Grainy layered texture, great for filling in color blocks |
| 📐 Line / Rect / Ellipse | Drag to draw shapes with live preview |
| 🧽 Eraser | Independent size range 10–120 px (default 40) — much bigger than any brush, so large fixes go fast |
Pick from 14 preset colors or any custom color, then switch the canvas between plain, grid, dot-grid and chalkboard textures. The chalkboard even auto-swaps a dark ink color to white chalk, so your first stroke is never invisible.
Undo, redo and the big eraser
Made a wrong stroke? Ctrl+Z (⌘Z on Mac) undoes the last stroke, Ctrl+Shift+Z redoes it, and the history keeps up to 60 strokes. For bigger edits pick the eraser: its size slider is separate from the brush (10–120 px), and on desktop a dashed circle follows your cursor showing the exact erase diameter — what you see is what you erase.
Textures, fullscreen and PNG export
Grid and dot-grid textures help you align sketches and diagrams; chalkboard turns the page into a classroom blackboard. Textures are visual guides only — they never appear in the exported image, which is always a clean white (or chalkboard-colored) background plus your strokes. Hit fullscreen to use the board as a digital whiteboard for teaching or presentations, then Export PNG to save drawing-YYYYMMDD-HHMM.png to your device.
Who it's for
- Kids & parents — fun brushes and a touch-friendly canvas make an instant doodle pad, nothing to install
- Teachers & presenters — fullscreen board as a quick whiteboard to sketch on screen
- Quick notes — practice handwriting, sign, jot a diagram faster than typing
- Designers & developers — rough wireframes and shape sketches with line/rect/ellipse
Private by design
The whole board is one web page: strokes live in page memory, nothing is sent to a server, nothing is stored after you close the tab. Export anything you want to keep before refreshing.

FAQ
How is this different from desktop drawing software?
It needs no download or install — open a browser and draw. It focuses on quick sketches, diagrams and doodles: multiple brushes, drag-out shapes, an eraser, undo/redo and fullscreen. It does not aim for layers or pro features; it wins on zero friction and a consistent experience on any device.
Can the eraser be resized?
Yes, and the eraser has its own size control: select the eraser and the left slider becomes "Eraser size", ranging 10–120 px with a 40 px default — much bigger than any brush, so large corrections go fast. On desktop a dashed circle follows your cursor showing the exact erase diameter.
What do the rainbow / glow / crayon brushes do?
The rainbow brush shifts hue along your stroke; the glow brush draws with a neon halo that pops on dark backgrounds; the crayon brush has a grainy layered texture suited to filling color blocks. All three work with the size slider and textures, and strokes can be undone like any other.
How do the shape tools work?
Pick line, rectangle or ellipse in the left rail, then press and drag on the canvas to pull out the shape with a live preview; release to commit. Choose color and size first — shapes draw with the current settings.
Are the grid / dots / chalkboard textures included in the export?
No — textures are visual guides only. The exported PNG is always a clean white background (chalkboard color in chalkboard mode) plus your strokes, ready to drop into a document. Take a screenshot if you need the texture.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
Yes: Ctrl+Z (⌘Z on Mac) undoes the last stroke and Ctrl+Shift+Z redoes it, including in fullscreen.
Is my drawing saved to the cloud?
No. Strokes live in page memory only — nothing is sent to or stored on a server. Export a PNG before closing or refreshing the page to keep your work.
