Whiteboard
This free whiteboard tool gives you an infinite canvas for sketches, diagrams, flowcharts, and mind maps, powered by Excalidraw. Draw right in your browser — your board autosaves to this device and can be exported as PNG, SVG, or a reusable .excalidraw file.
A full whiteboard for sketches, diagrams, flowcharts, and mind maps. Everything stays in your browser — export as PNG/SVG or a reusable .excalidraw file from the menu. Powered by Excalidraw — you can also use it at excalidraw.com.
How to use Whiteboard
- 1 Start drawing on the canvas with the shape, arrow, text, and freehand tools.
- 2 Your board autosaves locally moments after you pause; a 'Saved' indicator shows the status and you can save now anytime.
- 3 To keep an on-disk file in sync, open a .excalidraw file (Cmd/Ctrl+O), then press Save (Cmd/Ctrl+S) once — after that, autosave also writes back to that file.
- 4 Click Expand to fill the screen, and optionally hide the navbar for maximum canvas space.
- 5 Export your work as PNG, SVG, or a reusable .excalidraw file from Excalidraw's menu.
Frequently asked questions
Is my whiteboard saved to a server or shared?
No. Your drawing is saved locally in your own browser and everything runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded, so your ideas stay private to you.
Will I lose my drawing if I close the tab?
No. The board autosaves to your browser a moment after you stop drawing and also saves when you leave or hide the tab, and it's restored the next time you open the tool on the same device.
Does the "Saved" indicator save my opened .excalidraw file too?
The "Saved" indicator means your board is saved in this browser. If you opened a .excalidraw file, press Save (Cmd/Ctrl+S) once to allow writing to it; after that, autosave keeps that file in sync and the indicator shows "Saved (browser + file)". Until then it shows a reminder to press Save.
What can I export?
You can export your board as a PNG or SVG image, or as a reusable .excalidraw file that you can reopen and keep editing later, including at excalidraw.com.
Does the whiteboard work offline?
Yes. GoodWebTools is a PWA, so once the page has loaded the whiteboard keeps working with no internet connection.
