Sketch ideas beautifully, instantly.
Excalidraw is a virtual whiteboard where you can sketch diagrams, wireframes, and flowcharts that look like hand-drawn art. It's simple, fast, and works right in your browser — perfect for brainstorming with your team or organizing your own thoughts visually.
What makes Excalidraw worth launching.
Shapes and lines look like real sketches, making diagrams feel approachable and less intimidating than polished design tools.
Zoom, pan, and draw across an endless whiteboard — no page limits, no boundaries, just room to think.
Share a link and work together on the same drawing with live cursors, perfect for remote teams and brainstorming sessions.
Everything you need: rectangles, circles, diamonds, arrows, lines, freehand drawing, text, and an eraser — all at your fingertips.
Save your diagrams as PNG, SVG, or the native Excalidraw format to use in presentations, docs, or share with teammates.
Switch to dark mode, load custom shape libraries, and personalize the canvas to match your style or workflow.
If you fit one of these, Excalidraw is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Excalidraw makes a real difference.
Gather your team on a virtual canvas to sketch out product ideas, user flows, or sprint plans without needing a physical room.
Draw cloud infrastructure, API flows, and database relationships in a visual way that everyone — not just engineers — can understand.
Quickly sketch what a new screen or feature might look like before your design team opens their heavy tools.
Replace long emails and Slack messages with a simple diagram that shows exactly what you mean — no confusion, no back and forth.
Excalidraw turns your screen into a virtual whiteboard where you can sketch anything that comes to mind. With its signature hand-drawn style, every shape, arrow, and text box feels like it was drawn on paper — which makes your ideas feel rough, fast, and ready to iterate on. You get all the essential drawing tools: rectangles, circles, diamonds, arrows, freehand drawing, and text. The canvas is infinite, so you can map out complex systems, brainstorm product flows, or sketch wireframes without ever running out of space. Export your work as PNG, SVG, or share a link so others can view or edit alongside you. Whether you're planning a project, explaining an idea, or just doodling, Excalidraw helps you get your thoughts on screen in seconds.
Excalidraw is the go-to virtual whiteboard for millions of people who want to think visually without the friction of complicated tools. Its charming hand-drawn look makes every diagram feel like a rough sketch — which is exactly the point. You're not trying to make something perfect; you're trying to make something clear. Product teams, engineers, educators, and remote workers love it because it takes zero time to learn and works instantly. With real-time collaboration, you can share a link and have your whole team drawing together from anywhere in the world.
