Excalidraw Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise Excalidraw for being simple, fast, and easy to pick up, with a clean, distraction-free interface, strong keyboard shortcuts, and a canvas that works well for diagrams, wireframes, user flows, whiteboarding, and interviews. Several also like its libraries, dark mode, and end-to-end encryption. The main criticism is that collaboration can feel less polished than tools like Figma or FigJam, especially because work in live collaboration may not save automatically. A few reviewers also want tables, standard icons, or more built-in elements.
