Excalidraw is an open-source virtual whiteboard for quickly communicating ideas with sketch-like diagrams. Its editor offers shapes, arrows, freehand drawing, and text, with PNG/SVG export and an open JSON format. The hosted app saves locally in the browser and can generate read-only share links.

Getting started: Open Excalidraw in a browser and start drawing; developers can integrate the editor with npm install react react-dom @excalidraw/excalidraw. Review the official installation documentation for integration details.

The repository is MIT-licensed. The hosted app is a showcase of the project; some collaboration or hosted-service behavior may depend on the service, so check its current terms for your use case.
