Teach from the PDFs you already have
Upload a worksheet or slide deck and mark it up live — pen, calligraphy ink, highlighter, shapes, text and sticky notes — with smooth continuous scroll and pinch-to-zoom.
The problem
Your best resources are already made — worksheets, past papers, slide decks. But a PDF is static: you can't write on it in front of the class, highlight the key step, or come back to it next year with your notes intact.
ClassKite makes your PDFs teachable
Bring a PDF (or PowerPoint) into ClassKite and annotate it live on any device. Draw, highlight, add text and sticky notes, scroll through every page, and zoom in on the detail that matters. Your annotations autosave as you go and are kept safely so you can reuse the lesson later.

Upload your file
Add a PDF or PowerPoint — ClassKite turns it into pages you can teach from.
- 2
Annotate live
Use the pen, calligraphy, highlighter, shapes, text and sticky notes to explain as you go.

Scroll & zoom
Move through every page with continuous scroll, and pinch or wheel-zoom to focus on the detail.

It saves itself
Annotations autosave and sync — and keep working even if the connection drops.
What you get
A full ink toolbox
Pen, calligraphy ink, highlighter, eraser, shapes (rectangle, ellipse, arrow), text boxes and sticky notes.
Natural, readable ink
Calligraphy strokes respond to your stylus for a handwritten feel; the highlighter blends like the real thing.
Continuous scroll
Read and annotate multi-page PDFs in one smooth, scrollable view.
Crisp pinch-zoom
Zoom in to model a step, then back out — the page re-renders sharp every time.
Autosave + offline-safe
Edits save automatically and survive a reload or a dropped connection, then re-sync.
Built for touch & stylus
Palm rejection and stylus-friendly controls make it comfortable on a tablet or smart board.
