Excalidraw

Compatible with Excalidraw JSON

Hand-drawn whiteboard aesthetic for real. Drop in an Excalidraw `.excalidraw` JSON export (or compose one inline) and render it as a publication-ready SVG with the signature rough-pen feel. Round-trips with excalidraw.com — paste anything you sketched there.
