Does it work on a tablet?

Yes. Touch and stylus input work as well as a mouse. Strokes have one width you choose; pressure is not recorded.

Can I erase part of a stroke?

Strokes are erased whole. Undo removes the most recent stroke.

Security note

Files are checked to be what they claim (by content, not extension), processed in a sandboxed worker with no network, and deleted on the schedule your plan sets. We do not run antivirus and do not claim to — please do not upload files you do not trust. Read the security page.
