Live Ink Canvas

Part of the OpenStudios Innovation Platform

Visual thinking workspace

Draw freely. Make thinking visible.

Live Ink turns a blank canvas, image or PDF into an active thinking space. Sketch, annotate, connect and explain ideas as they emerge—using marks that feel immediate rather than polished.

Draw. Point. Circle. Connect. Annotate. Let the hand move before the answer feels finished.
