What Draw.Chat is
Draw.Chat is a free, browser-based whiteboard for drawing, notes, and real-time collaboration. The maker describes it as useful for remote lessons, tutoring, meetings, and shared notes. Boards can be created and shared without registration or installation, and participants can draw on uploaded PDFs, images, and maps.
The drawing tools include a pen, highlighter, crayon, nib pen, and eraser; selected tools support pressure and tilt from styluses and graphics tablets. The product page describes built-in voice and video chat and an AI assistant in board chat. Users can customize board settings and tools, save templates, and embed configured boards in websites, blogs, e-learning platforms, or other applications. An API supports creating boards and managing users and permissions through prepared links. Sessions have no time limit, and uploaded images or PDFs can be up to 100 MB. Boards sync in real time, but shared files are not guaranteed permanent storage: they may be deleted after 31+ days without access. The service's terms also describe data that servers may store, including chat history, shared files, and IP addresses.
