Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a way to mirror or flip my drawing?
No, this whiteboard doesn't include flip or mirror tools. You'd need to flip the exported PNG in another app later. For symmetric drawings, try drawing one half carefully and rely on the undo feature to fix mistakes. With 50 undos available, you can refine a shape until it looks balanced. The 1200x600 canvas gives you enough room to sketch wide. A practical workaround: download your PNG, then use your phone's photo editor or a free image tool to mirror it in seconds.
Can I collaborate with someone else in real time on this whiteboard?
No, this is a single-user tool. Only one person can draw at a time on the same device. If you need to work with a teammate, share your screen during a video call instead. The exported PNG captures everything exactly as you drew it, so you can send that to a collaborator. For real-time teamwork, you'd need a dedicated multi-user whiteboard app.
Can I draw text or write letters on the whiteboard?
There's no dedicated text tool, so you'll need to hand-write letters with the pen. Use the thinnest pen setting (1 out of 5) for smaller, readable text. The 1200×600 canvas gives you room to write a few short sentences before things get cramped. If your handwriting is shaky, slow down your strokes — the tool captures every movement exactly. For bloggers needing clean labels, try writing in all caps for better readability. You can always undo and rewrite up to 50 times.
Why does my drawing disappear when I refresh the page?
This whiteboard runs entirely in your browser with no server storage. Once you refresh or close the tab, everything is gone — that's by design. We don't save your work because no signup means no data collection. Your drawing lives only in temporary browser memory. Always export as PNG before leaving the page. One crash or accidental refresh wipes 50 undos and all your strokes instantly. Make it a habit: download your progress every few minutes, especially on complex sketches.
What happens to my drawing when I close the browser tab?
Everything vanishes instantly. This whiteboard works purely in your browser's memory, so there's no autosave or cloud backup. Closing the tab, refreshing, or losing power erases all strokes beyond your 50-step undo history. Export to PNG before navigating away — that file becomes your only saved copy. For long teaching sessions or brainstorming with students, download a snapshot every 10-15 minutes. A single careless click on a close button can cost you an hour of work.
What file formats can I export besides PNG?
PNG is the only export option right now. That's a 1200x600 raster image, which works fine for sharing on Slack or dropping into a doc. If you need vector formats like SVG, you'll have to recreate your sketch in a drawing app like Figma or Inkscape. One workaround: keep your strokes loose and simple, then trace over the PNG in your vector tool. Your colors and line thicknesses will transfer cleanly since the pen matches standard hex values.
Is the whiteboard accessible for people using only a keyboard?
Not fully, and that's honest feedback. Mouse or touch is required for drawing since the canvas tracks pointer movements for each stroke. Tab navigation moves focus to the color picker, thickness slider, eraser, and undo button, but you can't actually paint without a pointing device. Keyboard shortcuts for common actions like undo (Ctrl+Z) do work once you've clicked the canvas. For students with motor impairments, a stylus or touchscreen laptop works better than a traditional mouse. If keyboard-only is a hard requirement, you'd need a different tool that supports drawing via arrow-key movement.
Can I change the background color of the canvas?
The canvas background stays solid white by default. You won't find a bucket fill tool or background color picker on the toolbar. If you need a dark mode sketch, you can open your exported PNG in a photo editor and invert the colors. Another option is drawing on a pre-colored template by taking a screenshot first. This keeps your strokes intact while changing the overall look instantly.
Will my drawing look pixelated when I zoom in or print it out?
Your exported PNG uses a fixed 1200x600 resolution. If you stretch that image across a large poster or zoom in past 200%, the lines will look blocky. This happens because the canvas isn't vector-based. For crisp prints, keep your sketches sized close to the native pixel dimensions. Try dropping the exported file into a presentation slide rather than stretching it across a 4K monitor.
Is my drawing tracked or sent to a server while I sketch?
Your privacy stays fully intact because everything runs locally in your browser. We never track your strokes, analyze your doodles, or upload your canvas to an external cloud database. You can sketch sensitive diagrams or client wireframes without worrying about data leaks. Every line you draw lives strictly on your own device until you choose to download the final PNG file.
