A blank surface at last, right beside the tools: write an instruction by hand, stick up three notes, sketch a diagram and join two ideas with an arrow. The canvas pans and zooms, and “See all” brings everything you have drawn back into view in one tap.
This is not a screenshot: it is the tool itself, the one your class will see on the board.
Select, pen, eraser, text, sticky note, shapes, line and arrow: eight modes in a vertical bar, one active at a time. Each has its own letter — V, P, E, T, N, S, D, L — and every button can also be reached with the Tab key.
The pen writes in 9 strong colours, white included for writing on the black background, each available in five lighter or darker shades, and a free colour picker steps outside the palette as well. Text drops in at three sizes, sticky notes take the colour you choose, and six shapes are available: rectangle, ellipse, triangle, diamond, hexagon and star. Any object can also turn transparent, from 10 to 100%.
Line mode draws a straight line in one stroke, or a jointed line vertex by vertex, for a free-form diagram. Arrow mode hooks onto an object at either end, through the “+” points that appear on the object you select: move the note and the arrow follows. The line is solid or dashed, and the head can be single, double or absent.
The canvas is 8000 by 6000 units — large, but bounded on purpose. Zoom runs from 10 to 400%, by wheel, by button or by pinching with two fingers, and “See all” reframes on what you drew. The background can be plain, grid, lined, dotted or ruled like handwriting paper, and the canvas itself can be cream, white or black — the ink then switches to white to stay readable.
Two erasers, whichever suits: “Whole stroke” lifts a stroke in one touch, “Brush” cuts it where you sweep. “Clear all” asks for confirmation, and undo goes back up to a hundred moves. A board can be exported as a PNG or a PDF.
The “My device” panel poses an image by file picker, drag-and-drop or paste (Ctrl+V), in png, jpeg, webp, gif, bmp, up to 25 MB per file. It is shrunk and kept in this device’s browser, never sent to a server — that is what keeps it private. Once placed, it resizes keeping its proportions and can be cropped.
Three numbered notes, an arrow between each, and the class settles in without a word from you. The board stays as it is from one day to the next: it is already there the following Monday, and it takes ten seconds to change when the routine does.
The water cycle, a food chain, the steps of a word problem: put the words down, join them up, wipe one branch and draw it again. The arrows follow when a box moves, which makes the diagram something you edit rather than something you redraw.
On the composable canvas, the whiteboard is a card showing its contents in miniature that opens up full size in one tap, over the other tools. The timer sitting next to it keeps counting while you write, and is right there when you close the board again.
The board does not know your student list, and that is deliberate: no name finds its way in on its own, there is nothing to drag across from the Students screen, and name masking does not apply here. What gets written on it was written on purpose, exactly as with a marker on the wall.
You add your own images — a photo, a scanned drawing, a diagram — or pick from the built-in “Bank”: 104 classroom and instruction images, plus routine, subject and event pictures. There are no photos or infographics in that bank yet, and student avatars are not in it either: they are chosen in “Students”. Every image resizes keeping its proportions and can be cropped; it cannot be rotated.
Your boards are saved in this device’s browser, class by class. There is no syncing between devices: a board prepared at home does not turn up by itself on the classroom computer. It can be exported as a PNG or a PDF when it needs to travel.
Palm rejection relies on what the hardware reports: as soon as a stylus is detected, finger contacts are ignored. Not every classroom touchscreen tells a stylus apart from a finger, and on those, a palm resting beside your writing can still leave a line.
A finger is enough, and it is the gesture the tool was built for: on a classroom touchscreen you write straight onto the display. A mouse and a stylus both work as well. When a stylus is recognised, finger contacts are ignored while it writes, so a palm resting on the screen leaves nothing behind.
Yes. Each board is saved as you write, in this device’s browser, attached to its class, and it reopens framed on its contents. Nothing goes to a server, so nothing turns up on another device either; and if saving fails — for lack of space, for instance — a message says so under the canvas rather than keeping quiet.
The free plan keeps up to 3 per class, named, with a drop-down to move between them — enough for the morning routine, the diagram in progress and the day’s rough work. Kliip Premium lifts the limit. Boards you have already created stay fully usable either way: a subscription that ends erases none of them.
Yes, by exporting it as a PNG or a PDF, built inside your browser. That is what lets you send a diagram built in class to the students who were away, paste it into a lesson plan, or simply keep a trace of it before starting again from a blank board.
No. An image you add is shrunk then kept in this device’s browser, exactly like the rest of the board — nothing leaves for Kliip or anywhere else. That also bounds what a class can add: 30 MB of images in total per class, which is a good hundred shrunk photos.
No, and that is a deliberate exception: the free plan’s composable canvas keeps up to 3 tools placed at once, and the whiteboard is not one of them. So you can put it up alongside the timer, the noise meter and the wheel without losing anything.
This tool lives on the board’s canvas, next to all the others.
