About BoardScribble
BoardScribble is a free online whiteboard that opens instantly: no account, no board limit, and no ad-blocker wall.
Why we built it
Many online whiteboards ask you to sign in before you can share, expire your boards after a couple of weeks, or hide basics like PDF export and dark mode behind a paid plan. Teachers, students and small teams usually just want a clean canvas that works. BoardScribble aims to be that canvas.
What makes it different
- No login and no expiry. Your boards are saved in your browser and stay until you clear your browser data.
- Real drafting instruments. A protractor, a ruler in centimetres, a compass that draws true arcs, and 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 set squares. You can move and rotate them, and the pen snaps to their edges, for geometry and technical sketches.
- Built for teaching. Multiple boards you can present full screen, a laser pointer, highlighter, distance measure, coordinate plane, number line and table templates, and a countdown timer.
- Draw on PDFs. Import a worksheet and each page becomes a board you can annotate.
- Free export. PNG, SVG and PDF (one board or all boards), plus a board file you can reopen later.
- Share without an account. A share link carries the board inside the link, so there is nothing to upload and nothing to sign in to.
- Private by design. Your drawings are not sent to our servers. Read the privacy policy for details.
Who it is for
Teachers explaining math and science, students working through problems, tutors sharing a prepared board, and anyone who needs to sketch a quick diagram or brainstorm with sticky notes.
What it does not do (yet)
BoardScribble does not currently offer live, multi-person editing in the same board. A share link gives each person their own copy. We are open about this because it is the most requested feature on any whiteboard, and we would rather tell you what exists today than overpromise.
How it is funded
The whiteboard is free. We plan to cover running costs with non-intrusive advertising placed outside the drawing area, never over your canvas.
