How to Use an Online Whiteboard

Online Marker Board is built to be simple. This guide walks you through every tool so you can start drawing, teaching or brainstorming in under a minute.

Open the Whiteboard →
1

Open the whiteboard

Just open the page — there is no download and no sign up. The white canvas is ready immediately.

2

Pick a tool

The toolbar at the bottom holds the pen, line, arrow, rectangle, circle, text, eraser, image and pan tools. Tap one to select it.

3

Choose color and brush size

The left panel has color swatches and a brush size slider. Pick a dark color for clear text and a thicker brush for bold strokes.

4

Draw on the board

Click and drag with the mouse, or draw with your finger or stylus on a touchscreen. Shapes are created by dragging from one corner to another.

5

Add text and images

The text tool lets you type labels anywhere. The image tool uploads a picture from your device so you can annotate over it.

6

Undo, redo and zoom

Use the Undo and Redo buttons, or Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y. Scroll to zoom, and use the pan tool to move around the infinite canvas.

7

Save your work

Click Save PNG to download your whiteboard as an image. Your board is also auto-saved in your browser for next time.

Tips for the best results

Use color coding to keep diagrams readable, zoom in for detailed work, and the pan tool when you need more room. On mobile, a stylus gives the most natural handwriting.
