Online sticky notes for sharing ideas digitally
Digitize handwritten stickies
Workshops often leave teams with piles of sticky notes to photograph or transcribe, and great ideas risk slipping through the cracks. With Miro’s AI-powered canvas, you can instantly convert photos and post-its into digital sticky notes, CSV files, and Jira tasks. Nothing gets lost, and your team can stay focused on moving ideas forward.
Hear every brilliant idea
In traditional meetings, the loudest voices often take over while others get overlooked. Miro levels the playing field by giving everyone an equal space to contribute with sticky notes and other tools. Teams capture more perspectives, keep energy high, and make online sessions more engaging and productive.
Seamless team collaboration
When teams juggle ideas across documents, chat threads, and emails, alignment slows down. Miro brings everything together on one infinite canvas, where digital sticky notes make collaboration simple. Whether you’re working side by side or asynchronously, you’re free to share ideas and build on each other’s input.
Why Miro is a great tool for using online sticky notes
Clustering made easy
After a brainstorm, sticky notes can quickly pile up and feel unmanageable. With Miro, our free online sticky notes mean you don’t need to spend time manually sorting them. Organize your sticky notes online instantly by color, tag, author, keyword, or sentiment. Or, use our Cluster by feature on the context bar to group all stickies automatically - no manual work needed.
Run powerful sessions
Brainstorms and workshops often stall when capturing ideas takes too long. Miro speeds things up with Bulk mode, letting you create multiple stickies at once, or paste data straight from a spreadsheet. This way, teams stay focused on sharing ideas instead of slowing down for note-taking.
Sharable virtual sticky notes
Ideas lose momentum when they’re stuck in one person’s notes or slides. With Miro, you can add sticky notes in just a few clicks, customize them to fit your workflow, and instantly share with teammates. Work together in real time or asynchronously - everyone stays in the loop, no matter where they are.
Infinite workspace
Running out of space can stall collaboration and force teams to juggle multiple tools. Miro’s infinite canvas gives you the freedom to capture every idea in one place, from a handful of notes to full project maps. Scale as you go, keep context intact, and never worry about squeezing big ideas into small spaces.
Smarter sticky notes with AI
Turn your sticky notes into actionable insights with Miro AI. Summarise big brainstorms, group ideas by theme, or spark new suggestions, right on the canvas where your notes live. Everything stays in context, so your team can make sense of every idea faster and keep the momentum going.
Align your team effortlessly
Keep everyone on the same page with a shared sticky note workspace. Comment, vote, and update notes in real time or asynchronously, so ideas stay connected, discussions move forward, and your team can focus on what matters most.
