Get started with Freeform on iPad
The Freeform app gives you a boundless canvas for creativity. Bring everything together, including photos, drawings, links, and files. And invite others to work with you.

Gather ideas freely
You can put just about any kind of file in a Freeform board—an online whiteboard—without worrying about layouts or page sizes. To create a board, tap .

Collaborate with others
Tap to invite people to start working together in real time on a board. You can add sticky notes
to conduct a brainstorming session or provide feedback.

Get creative with the drawing tools
Tap (or just use your Apple Pencil) to start drawing. Adjust the line’s thickness, transparency, color, and more, and pinch to zoom in and out as you work.

Start on your iPad, keep working on your Mac
The Freeform boards you store in iCloud—and any changes you make to them—stay up to date on all your Apple devices when you’re signed in with the same Apple ID. To use iCloud with Freeform, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Show All (below Apps Using iCloud), then turn on Freeform.
Explore Freeform. Create a board, draw on it, save it in iCloud, and share it with others.
Note: Freeform is available on iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, macOS Ventura 13.1, or later.
