What Excalidraw does
Excalidraw is a virtual whiteboard for creating diagrams, wireframes, and sketches that look hand-drawn, with real-time multiplayer collaboration. Teams self-host it for private, ephemeral or persistent whiteboarding without sending diagram content to a third-party service. Finished sketches can be exported as PNG, SVG, or an editable file, so they aren't locked into the app.
