Educator Canvas turns any PDF into a live teaching surface — pressure-sensitive ink, real text markup, audio notes, an AI study assistant, and an infinite scratchpad beside every page.
From a quick highlight to a fully re-built document — every tool an educator reaches for, on a canvas that never runs out of room.
Low-latency stylus ink that thickens with pressure. Pen, highlighter and calligraphy nib, each with its own colour, width and opacity.
Draw freehand and hold — your stroke snaps to a clean line, rectangle, ellipse, triangle or arrow. Handwriting is left untouched.
Wipe an entire vector stroke, or trim just the segment you touched. Right-click is an instant eraser on desktop.
Highlight, underline, squiggly, double-underline and strikethrough that snap to the actual words — text stays readable the whole time.
Reusable stamps and hand-drawn signatures you place once and reapply anywhere, plus page-anchored sticky notes.
Editable, draggable notes pinned to a page and saved with the document — perfect for feedback and reminders.
Record a spoken comment right onto a page and play it back in-app — perfect for feedback and flipped lessons.
Drop images onto any page coordinate, drag and resize them, and keep them saved with the document.
A glowing, auto-fading laser pointer that leaves no permanent ink — colour and size to taste. Great for live teaching.
Compare a source and a worksheet, a question and a mark-scheme, or last year's paper and this year's. Each pane keeps its own ink, notes, images and audio. Tap a pane to focus it; the toolbar, knob and shortcuts follow.
Work through a problem without ever cramping the margins. The canvas extends downward as you write, pinch to zoom, and remembers a separate space for each page of your document.
Connect your own OpenAI, Gemini, Claude or DeepSeek key. Nothing is sent anywhere until you ask — every AI action is consent-gated, and your key lives in your device's secure keychain.
Condense a passage or rewrite it at a different reading level in a couple of taps.
Instant definitions and multi-language translation for any selected text.
Clean up syntax and grammar in your notes and text markups.
Lasso any region and send the image plus your own instruction to a vision model — insert the reply straight back as a note.
Describe a diagram or illustration and pin the generated image onto the page.
Keys stored in the OS keychain, never in plain text. Per-action consent before any document content leaves the device.
Educator Canvas is a full PDF workspace, not just an ink layer.
Reorder, rotate, delete, insert blank pages and merge PDFs — then save a fresh file.
Full-text search with find-next, an annotations panel, page jump, and continuous / two-page / single-page views.
Flatten ink into an image PDF, keep text selectable with vector export, export canvas or a side-by-side spread, or annotated pages only.
Invert colours for comfortable dark reading, or drop a grid over the page.
A multi-tag document library with search, recents and pinned docs — no rigid folder tree.
Push and pull your annotations through your own NextCloud or WebDAV server with an app password.
