Whyteboard is a free drawing software as well as an image annotator software. You can open multiple sheets to create drawing and open images to annotate them. It comes with multiple tools and shapes that are sufficient enough to create drawings, and annotate your images quite well.
One of the interesting option available in this software is that it lets you play the recap of steps using its built-in ‘History Viewer’. So, you can see how you created your drawing from starting to end.
This software also lets you insert audio and video clips (mp3, avi, mov, ogg, mkv, wav, etc.) in your drawing, images, and save them in its native format (*.wtbd). Although, you can export your file as an image file as well, but of course, it won’t contain the inserted media files.
Above screenshot shows the UI of this free drawing software where you can open multiple sheets, create drawing, and annotate images.
Note: This software also provides feature to import and export PDF and PS files for annotation. However, to load these files and save them after annotation, it requires another software named as ‘ImageMagick‘.

Play Recap of Your Drawing Steps:
It is really a very interesting feature of this software. Before saving your drawing or annotated images, you should also play the drawing steps. For this, use History Viewer option available under View menu. It will open in ‘history player’. See the screenshot below. Using this player, you can start playing the steps and view them to check how you have created the drawing.
