Which file formats does Whiteboard support?

Whiteboard supports all of the most popular image file formats (.png, .jpg, .gif, .svg) and many more! If you find that a specific file format that you need isn't working, please contact us.

 

Can I use animated GIFs?

Currently, adding an animated GIF will only show its first frame.

Are my images compressed or downscaled?

Whiteboard stores your images in their original size so that you can resize them as you wish, meaning that a very large image file may take longer for your students to download. However, when pushing a whiteboard as a background image, the image is compressed before sending.
