See it in a lesson
Maths: show your working
Work through each step right under the question, so students see the method, not just the answer.
Geography: label the map
Shade regions, add labels and point to places as you talk — then clear and move on to the next map.
History: tell the story
Draw routes, timelines and connections over any image, so a static diagram becomes a story the class can follow.
Trusted by
I use Epic Pen to annotate graphs and charts during lessons. This allows me to illustrate key points, trends, and data analysis directly on the screen, making complex concepts more understandable for my students.
Epic Pen provides everything a professional needs: drawing and writing tools, fading ink, instant activation of a blackboard/whiteboard, ghost mode to work using only shortcuts leaving the screen free, differentiated stroke size for each tool and more. All this in a fantastic balance between abundance of functions and ease of use.
Epic Pen Pro's versatile color options are invaluable for my work. They allow me to mark specific parts of complex mechanisms with different colors, enhancing the understanding of kinetic architectural designs.
Loved in classrooms and lecture halls
Teachers and lecturers use Epic Pen every day, from primary classrooms to postgraduate seminars.

Questions from teachers and schools
Yes. Epic Pen Basic is free for everyone — teachers, students, schools and districts — including classroom use. Pro adds the text tool, shapes, whiteboard, fading ink and the highlighted cursor, with a 14-day free trial, and volume pricing is available for schools.
Yes. Epic Pen works on any display driven by a Windows PC, including interactive flat panels, smartboards and pen displays, with full touch, pen-pressure and multi-touch support on compatible hardware.
No. Your ink is drawn on your screen, so students see it on the classroom display automatically. In online lessons, share your entire screen and every mark comes through — students install nothing.
Epic Pen supports silent installation and command-line activation, so IT can roll it out to labs, classrooms and staff machines without touching each PC. Request a quote and we'll include the deployment guide.
Yes. We can work with purchase orders and invoices for team and organisation purchases. Request a quote with your device count and we'll take it from there.
No. Epic Pen collects no student data — not in the app and not on this website. The app draws on the screen locally and doesn't see or store what's underneath.
