Features
Discover what sets Onlineboard apart from other conventional web whiteboards and similar software. Below is the list of the best functionalities our free web whiteboard has to offer today!
Customizable colors
You can use our pre-made color sets or create your own with up to 255 different shades! You can also change the background of the board.
Real-time collaboration
You can see what others are doing before they finish the action. Just as in real-life!
Easy to share
No credit card or registration is needed. Simply copy the URL address from your browser and send it to your colleagues.
Export to PNG
You can easily export your drawings to PNG. You change the background color of the exported file. You can also specify the scaling of the exported image.
Dark mode
Do you work at night or just cannot stand light themes? You can switch the whole interface and your whiteboard to a dark theme. For free!
Undo and eraser
Made a mistake? Need to go one step back? You can use CTRL+Z to undo your last drawing. You can also use eraser tool to make small touches to your drawing.
Optimized rendering
Only the visible parts of the board are rendered, so the board does not become slower the bigger your drawing is.
Customizable board size
You can choose from predefined set of board sizes, or use a custom board size.
Fine-grained access control
You can assign read/write permissions to individual users. You can also decide whether anyone with a public link should be able to write or view your board only.
Observe your colleagues
Allows your audience to lock their view to you, so they can see what you see when you move the camera. Easier to use than screen sharing and much faster!
Tablet & touchscreen-friendly
Onlineboard is optimized for touch devices also! You can view the boards on your mobile phone or tablet. However, we recommend using desktop computers as it is easier to see things on a big screen.
Graphical tablet compatible
We test the board with typical graphical tablets. Do you own one? Great, you can use it with Onlineboard immediately. We also implemented the common gestures so you will feel at home!
Input smoothing
Are you struggling with a steady hand? Or does your mouse have low DPI? No worries, our input smoothing setting with multiple levels allows you to draw straight lines more easily.
Board storage
When logged in, all your boards are saved to the cloud automatically. You can access them using our board browser after leaving.
Bring to me
Use bring to me functionality to move viewport of all users in the board to your viewport. Ensure they see what you want them to see.
Presence
Quickly see who has the whiteboard open in foreground and is active. See the last time specific user was active in a board.
Upload PDF / paste image
Do you have an existing document you want to annotate or draw over? You can now upload PDFs, paste images to Onlineboard and draw over them!
Unlimited emojis (coming soon)
Create your own set of emojis to use with our emote tool. Choose from a library of over 1000 emojis.
Template library (coming soon)
Get a headstart and use a whiteboard template when creating a new board. Choose from a set of pre-made templates or create your own templates.
Shared timer (coming soon)

Sticky notes (coming soon)
Use sticky notes to organize ideas into groups or add comments to specific parts of a whiteboard.
Chat (coming soon)
Send short messages to other people on the same whiteboard as you. We prefer to call during a whiteboard meeting, but some people would rather chat.
Voice Calling (coming soon)
Quickly start a voice call during a whiteboarding session. Integration with common meeting tools such as Google Meet, Zoom and teams.
Infinite boards (coming soon)
Whiteboard will have infinite size. You can instead use frames to get a sense of scale.
