squiggles.ink — Persistent Online Whiteboard & Hand-Drawn Sketches
A hand-drawn online whiteboard that remembers your work. Sign in and your sketches are saved, named, organized in a visual dashboard, and easily shareable across all your devices.
Most browser-only whiteboards store your sketches exclusively in temporary local storage. If you clear your browser cookies, use an incognito window, or switch computers, your hard work vanishes. squiggles.ink solves this by linking your whiteboard directly to your personal account with automated background cloud synchronization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does squiggles.ink differ from browser-only whiteboards?
Standard online whiteboards keep canvas data only in your local browser cache. squiggles.ink connects your sketches to your authenticated account with automated background cloud backups, ensuring your work is never lost when closing tabs or switching laptops.
Is the free plan really free forever?
Yes! The Free plan gives you up to 3 saved drawings forever with full canvas capabilities, direct PNG/SVG/JSON export, and read-only share links. You only pay if you need to store more than 3 live drawings.
Can I share sketches with people who do not have an account?
Yes. You can generate cryptographically unguessable view-only share links. Anyone with the link can view and export your drawing in high resolution without needing to create an account or sign in.
What formats can I export my sketches to?
Drawings can be exported directly to high-resolution PNG images, vector SVG files, or native .excalidraw JSON files.
