Ability to crop GIFs inserted
Now, Goodnotes allows to insert GIFs natively from the stickers tool, powered by GIPHY, but i would like to have the ability to crop them, some times there are GIFs that i only want part of it to adjust around my text or to shape them a bit... it would be nice to have the option just like we have with other selections

High resolution JPEG image export for Whiteboard
I love the new whiteboard feature, but it seems that it has been built without exporting in mind with the only option to export still being a PDF file. This makes it impossible to export most whiteboards without losing quality, and making large whiteboards unreadable. Similar to Microsoft whiteboard, it would be fantastic if there was the option for a high resolution JPEG image export feature to complement the new update. Thank you!

Support text-based PDF highlighting & add rectangular PDF text highlight
There should be an option to be able to highlight the pdf text in the highlighter color you have selected. Similar to how you long press on a word and it selects, it should highlight, that way its much cleaner and easier on laptops to use. It should be in a rectangular highlighter shape. This feature is available in notability and is really urging me to switch.

Manual rotation/pivot of pages
Personally, I can only really use GoodNotes when it is the only app on my screen, because my normal writing habit for paper is to have the paper at between a 40 and 60 degree angle.
When I am only writing with GoodNotes, I can turn my whole iPad (which is challenging when traveling on a train but still possible). If I have multiple windows open for references, though, it makes this especially challenging and causes my wrist to hurt very quickly. My husband who is left handed also turns his paper the other way out of habit, and cannot…

Personal Handwriting Model / Handwriting Cleanup
I would love to see a feature that allows users to create a personalized handwriting profile that GoodNotes can use whenever AI edits, corrects, or improves handwritten notes.
How it could work:
Create a Personal Handwriting Profile
- The user writes the full alphabet (uppercase and lowercase letters), numbers, and common symbols/punctuation marks in their neatest handwriting using a stylus.
- GoodNotes saves these samples as the user's personal handwriting model.
- This handwriting model becomes the reference style that AI uses for future handwriting improvements.
Handwriting Cleanup
- Users can write notes naturally, even if their handwriting becomes messy while taking notes quickly.

Expand Page Option
Have a feature where you can expand the page of a document, so that you can have extra space to write annotations. This would be helpful for med students like me who often write and annotate over books but have no space to write. Have an option to expand the page to the left, or to the right, or expand both sides, or customized expansion.

hyperlink improvements
To make it quicker to add internal document hyperlinks, we should have the option to be able to TYPE the page numbers instead of individually having to scroll throughout the notebook.

Theme Customization
Please introduce a theme customization feature in Goodnotes.
It would be great if users could personalize the app by selecting their own colors or applying themes from a theme store.
In addition to light and dark mode, please allow customization of the writing UI, menu colors, and background styles as well.2 votes -
Add an Optional Auto Re-Hide Mode for Masking Tape
The Masking Tape feature is extremely useful for memorization practice.
However, during repetitive active recall study, users currently need to manually hide each revealed masking tape again before testing themselves another time.
This becomes tedious when many masking tapes are used on a single page.
An optional “Auto Re-Hide” mode would solve this problem.
Example:
- Tap to reveal
- After a user-defined delay (1s / 3s / 5s etc.), the masking tape automatically hides again
This would create a much smoother flashcard-like study experience and improve memorization efficiency significantly.
The feature could remain completely optional and be turned ON/OFF depending on…

Add a “Reveal All Masking Tapes” Button
The Masking Tape feature is amazing for active recall and memorization.
However, when a page contains many masking tapes, users currently have to tap every single one individually just to review the full content.
This is especially inconvenient when users want to quickly review the entire page or check the overall structure of their notes before testing themselves again.
A simple “Reveal All / Hide All” toggle would make studying much smoother and faster.
Possible options:
• Reveal all masking tapes on the current page
• Hide all again with one tap
• Optional notebook-wide supportThis would greatly improve…

Transparency on sticky notes
Hi, so I use Goodnotes mainly for math. The way I use it it by downloanding the PDF of a book, read it chapter by chapter and do the exercised on a sticky note inside of the book. The problem is that the sticky note often covers up the exercise (if I have a long exercise) and i have to constantly move the sticky note around when I want to read it again. It would be cool if one could make the stickynote transparent, either permanently or toggle transparent when long holding on the sticky note. Thank you!

Arrows with Draw and Hold
Allow us to form perfect arrows when using draw and hold. It often slows my progress switching between the Pen Tool and the Shape Tool, and I'd much rather have the ability to automatically make an arrow using draw and hold, just like other shapes

Pen color inversion for dark backgrounds and export options
Feature request:
Hi GoodNotes team,
I would like to suggest a feature for better dark mode note-taking.
When the page background is dark, it would be very helpful if pen colors could automatically reverse or adapt for visibility. For example, black handwriting could appear white on a dark background, while still preserving readability.
Also, when exporting notes, please allow users to choose whether the handwriting should be exported as black or white. This would be especially useful because notes that look clear on a dark background may become hard to read when exported or printed.
Suggested options:
Auto-invert pen color…

Add right margin to PDF for annotations
This option adds a 2,5 inch margin at the right side of the document for annotating. The margin is collapsible afterwards or can be kept open permanently. This way one can annotate on PDFs with tiny margins without having to compress all the info.

More PDF Features! (PLEASE READ, PERFECT FOR STUDENTS!)
I recently switched to a system in which I'm taking notes using a Rocketbook, then putting those PDF scans into Goodnotes to store and annotate into notebooks for each class. I would love if there was some features for that in particular.
- The ability to use precision eraser directly on the PDF. (I want to erase this diagram I drew! Or erase it then resize! Having to cover it with a shape is way to finicky, it makes adding new content over the shape very difficult.
- The ability to edit the color of text! I only use Black pens, so…

Set default font type and size for typing in sticky notes
I really appreciate that you can set a default font type and size for text boxes. It's really helped me streamline my notes when needed. I also really love the sticky note feature, but it's quite time consuming to change the font type and size when typing on sticky notes.
It would be amazing if a future update would give you the option of setting a default font type and size for typing in sticky notes! Thanks!

Add a "Workspaces" option to the Sidebar for context-specific tabs and tool presets
Description
Hi Goodnotes Team,
I would love to see a new "Workspaces" option added to the main page sidebar (which currently only includes Documents, Favorites, Shared, and Market).This feature would allow users to save and switch between different working environments tailored to specific scenarios (e.g., different classes, meetings, or projects).
Ideally, a custom Workspace would save:
• Specific files/tabs: The specific notebooks or PDFs that need to be opened together.
• Tool configurations: Custom presets for pen thickness, color palettes, and default tool combinations applicable to that specific scenario.Use Case:
For example, if I am about to study…
