Excalidraw
Virtual whiteboard with a hand-drawn feel.
- What is Excalidraw?
- Excalidraw is an open-source virtual whiteboard that renders shapes and text in a hand-drawn style.
- What does it do?
- Draw boxes, arrows, freehand strokes and text on an infinite canvas, with live collaboration over a shared link. Scenes export to PNG, SVG or a JSON file, and the editor ships as a component other applications can embed.
- Who is it for?
- Engineers and product teams sketching architecture diagrams, flows and rough wireframes mid-conversation, where speed matters more than polish.
- What are the alternatives to Excalidraw?
- tldraw is a similar canvas built for embedding elsewhere; Miro and FigJam add templates and workshop facilitation; draw.io (diagrams.net) and Mermaid produce structured diagrams rather than freehand sketches.
