Everything you need to think visually

01

Hand-drawn diagrams in seconds

Rectangles, diamonds, ellipses, arrows, lines, free pen and text, all with a sketchy look you can tune from clean architect lines to loose cartoon strokes.

02

Private by design

The whiteboard runs entirely in your browser. Your boards are autosaved on your device and never uploaded to a server. It even works offline after the first visit.

03

Export, copy and share

Download a PNG at 1×, 2× or 3×, or a crisp SVG with the font embedded. Copy straight to the clipboard, save a .drawforge file, or share a link that contains the drawing itself.

04

Fast, with keyboard shortcuts

Infinite canvas with zoom and pan, grid snapping, alignment, grouping, layers, undo and redo, and a dark canvas. It also opens your existing .excalidraw files.

How it works

  1. Start here

    Scribble on the pad above, drop an image or paste anything. No account, no install.

  2. Build the diagram

    The full editor opens with your sketch. Add shapes, arrows and labels, then arrange them.

  3. Export or share

    Get a PNG or SVG, copy it into your doc or chat, or send a share link.

Frequently asked questions

Is DrawForge really free?

Yes. The whole whiteboard is free, with no account, no watermark and no limit on the number of boards you export.

Are my drawings uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser. Your current board is autosaved in your browser's storage on this device, and files only leave it when you export or share them yourself.

Which formats can I export?

PNG (with or without background, at 1×, 2× or 3×), SVG with the handwriting font embedded, and the native .drawforge file you can reopen later. You can also copy a PNG to the clipboard.

Can I open Excalidraw files?

Yes. Open or drop an .excalidraw file and DrawForge converts its shapes, arrows, text and images. Rotation isn't supported yet, so rotated elements are imported straight.

Can I collaborate or share a board?

There's no real-time collaboration. You can copy a share link that contains the drawing itself (no server stores it) or send the .drawforge file. Images aren't included in links.

Does it work on tablets, phones and offline?

Yes. It works with mouse, pen and touch, including pinch to zoom. After your first visit, the editor keeps working without an internet connection.
