What it does
Draw.Chat is a browser-based whiteboard for drawing, tutoring, and real-time collaboration. Users can mark up PDFs, images, and maps, then share a board link without creating an account. The page lists voice and video chat, a configurable board with reusable templates, stylus support, PDF saving, and an open API; its FAQ says unused boards are deleted after 31 or more days.
Draw.Chat is suited to a tutoring session where the teacher and learner need to work directly on a worksheet or image. The vendor describes uploading a PDF, photo, or map, drawing on top of it, and sharing the resulting work as a PDF. Participants can meet on the same board through a link, and the page says the service works in a browser without installation or registration.
The service is free, but the board is not presented as a permanent archive: the FAQ says unused boards are deleted after 31 or more days and describes stored files as temporary. Anyone with the link can access a board according to the page notice, so avoid putting sensitive material on a shareable canvas and save outputs needed beyond the session. The official page also lists voice/video chat and an AI assistant, neither of which was tested here.
Strengths
- Allows drawing over PDFs, photos, and maps and sharing the board with collaborators.
- The vendor says no account or software installation is required to start.
- The page lists stylus support, voice/video chat, configurable templates, and an open API.
Watch out for
- Boards and uploaded files are temporary; the FAQ says unused boards are deleted after 31 or more days.
- The service notice says anyone with the board link can access it, so link sharing needs care.
Best for
- Online tutoring and remote lessons that involve annotating a worksheet or image
- Groups that need a no-account board for temporary sketching or shared notes
