Pen and Brush Tools for Freehand Drawing

Jotboard gives you a clean digital canvas with pen tools that feel natural to use on a mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen. Choose from different colors to sketch, outline, or shade your work. The eraser lets you clean up mistakes without affecting the rest of the board, and undo and redo are always available so you can experiment freely. The slide-based layout means each slide is a separate page in your sketchbook — use one for rough drafts, another for a final version, and flip between them easily.

Combine Drawing with Other Media

Drawing on Jotboard is not limited to freehand lines. You can layer your sketches with shapes for precise geometry, add text boxes for labels or titles, and drop in images for reference or collage-style compositions. Sticky notes work well for annotating your drawings or jotting down ideas you want to revisit. This mix of tools makes Jotboard useful for everything from casual doodling to more intentional creative projects like storyboarding, wireframing, or visual brainstorming.

Share and Export Your Artwork

Every board can be shared with a link, so others can view or contribute to your drawings in real time. This makes Jotboard a great choice for collaborative art projects, drawing games with friends, or live sketching sessions. When you are finished, export your board as a PDF to save a clean copy of every slide. You can also import a PDF as a background and draw directly on top of it, which is handy for tracing, annotating printed material, or adding illustrations to existing documents.
