Draw on an online whiteboard
Board is a full whiteboard that runs in your browser: sticky notes, flowchart and BPMN shapes, labeled connectors that stay attached, one-click templates, alignment and snap guides, autosave, and PNG, SVG, or JSON export — all local, no account. The canvas on this page is a quick freehand try-out: sketch, download a PNG, and continue in the full Board in the desktop.
Save and continue on the desktop
Download or copy your result here first. Continue in nopa to save to Files or use more features.
- Whiteboard with snap arrows, stickies, and shapes — saved locally
- Results saved to Files automatically

After you download — continue on the desktop for Files or the full app.
What Board can do
A real shape library
Sticky notes, rectangles, ellipses, triangles, section frames, cards, text, and a freehand pen — plus flowchart and BPMN shapes (events, tasks, gateways) for proper process diagrams. Style text with size presets, bold, and alignment.
Connectors that stay attached
Draw lines and arrows between shapes. Endpoints snap to edges, labels sit on the connectors, and everything follows when you move shapes — like a serious diagram tool, not a sketchpad.
Templates and alignment
Insert a kanban board, backlog columns, sprint retro, SWOT, mind map, org chart, roadmap, or BPMN flow in one click. Multi-select to align and distribute objects, with snap guides while you drag.
Images on the canvas
Paste a screenshot from the clipboard and it lands on the board; insert PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, or SVG files. Ctrl/⌘+Shift+C copies the whole board back to the clipboard as a PNG — handy for chats and docs.
Keyboard-first, with layers
One-key tools — V select, S sticky, A arrow, P pen, T text — plus Tab for the next sticky, Ctrl/⌘+D duplicate, undo/redo, arrow-key nudge, and a command palette on Ctrl/⌘+/. Multi-select, group shapes, and reorder layers forward or back.
Save and export locally
Boards autosave in nopa and stay in your browser — no server, no account. Export PNG, SVG, or JSON to Files, import JSON back later, and continue a sketch from this page in the full Board.

Questions
How is this different from Miro or FigJam?
nopa runs entirely in your browser with no account and no signup, and your board stays on your device — it works offline and is free. It is simpler than Miro: no real-time team collaboration or huge template gallery. For a private, instant board for diagrams, flowcharts, and sprint retros without logging in, that is exactly what it is for.
Do I need an account?
No. No signup, no account, no watermark. Open the board and start — your work saves locally in nopa.
Do arrows stick to shapes?
Yes. Draw from one shape toward another — endpoints snap to edges and follow when you move shapes.
Where is my board stored?
In nopa, boards are stored in your browser on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Does it support BPMN and flowcharts?
Yes. Board includes BPMN events, tasks, gateways, flowchart shapes, and one-click templates for flows and retros.
Can I import a sketch from this page?
Yes. Download PNG here or click Continue in nopa — your sketch can continue in the full Board app.
