About this app
Excalidraw is a virtual whiteboard for sketching diagrams, wireframes, and notes with a distinctive hand-drawn look. It supports real-time collaboration with end-to-end encryption, so shared sessions stay private. It works entirely in the browser with a built-in shape library and offline mode. Boards export to PNG, SVG, or the native .excalidraw format. People who move to Excalidraw from heavier whiteboard tools usually give the same reasons. It opens straight in the browser with no account required. It keeps working offline, since drawings save locally rather than to a vendor's cloud. It stays simple enough to sketch an idea in seconds, rather than open a full workshop toolkit. Self-hosting it also means no per-seat subscription to worry about. Every feature, including real-time collaboration and end-to-end encryption, is available at no cost.
