Frequently Asked Questions

How do I draw animations?

Refer to our animation guide for more details.

Why is there no eraser?

Since scribble.pub is built on a vector-based engine, every stroke is stored as a separate object rather than pixels on a screen. Traditional erasers work by modifying or deleting pixels, which is computationally expensive and complex to apply to overlapping vector shapes.

Instead of an eraser, you can use the following alternatives:

• Undo: Press Ctrl + Z to revert your last stroke.
• Selection Tool: Use the Selection tool (W) to select specific strokes or regions and delete them.

We may introduce eraser in future, but only if we find a way to make people prefer line removal over eraser whenever possible, and only use eraser for small corrections.

Can I export my drawing?

This feature is not available yet, but it is planned for the future. Use Immersive Mode to reduce UI and capture the canvas with a screenshot tool.

Can I create a private room to draw with friends?

Currently, creating custom rooms is not publicly available. We are testing this functionality with a selected group of users and plan to roll it out to everyone in the future.

How do I clear the canvas?

In rooms where it's allowed, you can clear the canvas with Clear button in the sidebar. This button may be shown but not active if a timer is running. In other rooms, you can ask moderators to clear the canvas for you.
