Drawing Canvas
Simple whiteboard with colors, brush sizes, and eraser. Save as image.
Digital whiteboard for sketching and drawing. Choose from multiple colors, adjust brush size, use the eraser tool, and save your artwork as PNG or JPG.
Drawing Canvas is a no-setup whiteboard that runs entirely in the page. The drawing area is 500 pixels tall with a white background and responds to both mouse and touch input, so it works the same on a desktop, a tablet with a stylus, or a phone. Strokes use rounded caps and joins, which keeps freehand lines smooth instead of angular.
The toolbar covers the essentials without burying you in panels. A brush size slider runs from 1 to 20 pixels. Ten preset swatches (black, red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, orange, purple, pink) handle quick color changes, and a full color picker accepts any custom shade. The eraser paints white at three times the current brush size, so cleanup is faster than drawing. Selecting any color switches you back to the brush automatically. When you finish, export the canvas as PNG for crisp line work or JPG for a smaller file, or hit Clear Canvas to wipe everything and start again.
This is deliberately a sketching surface, not a layered illustration suite: there are no layers, selections, or undo history, which makes it quick to open mid-conversation when you need to show rather than tell. Everything you draw stays on your own machine; saving converts the canvas to an image file locally rather than sending strokes to any service. Your brush size, color, and tool choice are remembered for next time.

Draw on the canvas
Sketch with your mouse, stylus, or finger on the 500 pixel tall white canvas. The eraser paints over mistakes at triple brush width.

Save your drawing
Click PNG or JPG to download the artwork, or Clear Canvas to wipe the board and start a new sketch.
Explaining ideas in calls
Sketch a quick architecture diagram or layout idea during a screen-shared video call, faster than opening a full design app.
Kids' drawing board
Hand a tablet to a child for finger painting with bright preset colors, with no account, ads inside the canvas, or installs.
Annotating thoughts before writing
Rough out a flowchart or mind map by hand, save the PNG, and drop it into your notes app as a thinking artifact.
Practicing handwriting or lettering
Use a stylus to practice letterforms at different brush widths, clearing the board between attempts.
Where do my drawings go when I save?
Straight to your downloads folder. The save buttons encode the canvas to a PNG or JPG file on your device; no strokes or images are transmitted to a server at any point.
Can I draw with a finger or stylus?
Yes. The canvas listens for touch events as well as mouse input, so it works on phones, tablets, and pen displays. Page scrolling is suppressed over the canvas, so strokes do not move the page.
How does the eraser work?
It paints white over your strokes at three times the current brush size. Because the canvas background is white, this looks like erasing. Set a small brush size for precise corrections or a large one to clear big areas quickly.
Is there an undo function?
No. Corrections are made with the eraser, and Clear Canvas resets the whole board permanently. Download a PNG checkpoint before making risky changes if you want a fallback version of your sketch.
Should I export PNG or JPG?
PNG keeps line art sharp with no compression artifacts and is the better choice for diagrams and sketches. JPG compresses the image into a smaller file, which is acceptable for photos of dense shading but blurs crisp edges slightly.
