Jamboard was the whiteboard people reached for when they needed to sketch something with a class or a team in the next five minutes. Google shut it down, and plenty of boards and habits were left without a home. We built Quickboard to fill that gap: a free online whiteboard that runs right here in your browser. It opens with a small example board already on the canvas, so you can draw, drop sticky notes and start a second frame immediately. No install, no signup.
Use Quickboard now
Pick a tool at the bottom and draw. Use two fingers to move and zoom on a phone, or the scroll wheel on a computer.
How to use it
The board starts with a team retro example in frame 1 and a warm-up prompt in frame 2. Pick a tool from the bottom row: select, pan, pen, highlighter, eraser, rectangle, ellipse, line, arrow, sticky note or text. Below it are undo, redo, delete, six colors and three sizes. Tap the sticky note tool, then tap the canvas to place a note and start typing. On a phone, one finger draws and two fingers pan and zoom. A stylus gets real pressure, so lines thicken as you press.
Use the numbered buttons to switch frames, add more, remove one or clear the current one. Every one of those actions can be undone. The Daily prompt button drops today’s drawing prompt on the board as a sticky note, the same one for everyone on the same date.
Export PNG saves the current frame as an image. Your board saves automatically in your browser’s local storage, and nothing leaves your device. Keyboard users can press P, H, E, V, R, O, L, A, N and T for the tools, and Control Z to undo.
How it compares to Jamboard
Quickboard keeps what made Jamboard quick: a clean canvas, a pen, sticky notes, and frames you flip through like slides. You open it, you draw, you are done.
What we left out is the cloud. There is no real-time collaboration, no sharing a board link with students, no Google account sync and no handwriting recognition. Your boards live in one browser on one device, so a board made on your laptop will not show up on your phone. Frames cannot be imported from old Jamboard files either. Export each frame as a PNG if you want to keep a copy somewhere else.
Use Quickboard for a fast private sketch, a lesson outline you present on your own screen, or a brainstorm you will photograph and send around. If your group needs everyone drawing on the same board at once, you will want a collaborative tool instead. Our list of best FigJam alternatives for Android covers several of them.
Get the original app
Jamboard was a free Google whiteboard app with touch drawing, sticky notes and shared frames. It has been discontinued, so you will not find a live service behind it. If you still need the old Android package for an older device, you can look it up in the store below.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Jamboard in a browser?
Not anymore, because Jamboard has been discontinued. Quickboard is an original whiteboard that works in any modern browser with a similar feel: pen, sticky notes and frames.
Is this the real Jamboard?
No. Quickboard is an original tool we built, inspired by the simple whiteboard idea, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Jamboard or Google. It does not read or open old Jamboard files.
Does Quickboard work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, everything runs locally in your browser and your board is saved on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Is it free?
Yes, completely, with no account and no limit on strokes or sticky notes. You can have up to 12 frames on one board.
Can I save my whiteboard as an image?
Yes. Press Export PNG to download the current frame as a PNG with a white background. Switch frames and export each one if you want all of them.
