Frequently Asked Questions

How do I draw animations?

Refer to our animation guide for more details.

Is there an eraser?

Yes: the Stroke Eraser (E) removes whole lines it touches.

There is no eraser for parts of lines. 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.

Other ways to remove lines:

• 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 add an eraser for small corrections within lines in the future.

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.
