"Effortless Diagramming & Team Collaboration"
What do you like best about Excalidraw?

I find Excalidraw easier to use and easier to share with teams. The different templates available make it easier to generate diagrams, which helps in developing them quickly. Also, the initial setup was really easy - just open the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Excalidraw?

I think for the free version, they just have one single page. Whenever we refresh, on a single page, we had to do a lot of things. This can be improved. They should have increased more, free tier, you know, different page experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An endless canvas that helps ideas take shape fast."
What do you like best about Excalidraw?

With Excalidraw I keep every diagram fully editable—layers, links, everything. Framing sections keeps sprawling sketches under control. And when the canvas gets unwieldy, a quick search surfaces any term or block instantly sparing us the usual hunt across oversized boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Excalidraw?

The tablet-and-pen setup works, but the stroke feel isn’t as natural as on desktop—fine for notes but I switch back for precision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excalidraw is EXCELLENT!"
What do you like best about Excalidraw?

- How easily accessible it is. You don't need a desktop application. Just a browser, and you're ready to go.

- It's minimalistic and has everything you'll possible need. I missed the "Library" option on the top right corner during my initial days, but once you spot it you're fine.

- You get the "copy to clipboard" when you extract your file which I love! Because I hate opening the File Explorer, this feature really comes handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Excalidraw?

Sometimes when you paste multiple images and try to sort of make a collage, the individual resolutions of the images drops heavily and leaves them unusable.

Also, there's a limit to the size of a file you can upload. Not great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you make collaborations on the whiteboard in current time, you do not see the current changes instantly, you have to let it load for a while without anyone using it so that the annotations of others can be validated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intutive and Collabarative Diagramatic Design Tool"
What do you like best about Excalidraw?

I personally find Excalidraw fascinating due to its ease of access over the internet and the intutiveness of the tools that i can use them properly without needing to be good at drawing. It mostly helps me in planning my projects and make roadmaps on various topics. Also the options like exporting the file to various formats is one of the best thing of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Excalidraw?

Excalidraw is perfect for me to use but I have seen some people getting bombarded due to its number of features and complexity.

Excalidraw can be improved by providing a proper guide on how to use it. and adding options of adding some extra file formats in the canvas. like mp4 etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional online drawing tool, ideal for non-drawers"
What do you like best about Excalidraw?

I find Excalidraw to be an exceptional online tool for collaborative drawing, and what stands out to me the most is its user-friendly interface and versatility. The intuitive design makes it easy to create a wide range of diagrams and sketches, whether for personal use or collaborative projects.

The tool's responsiveness and ability to generate polished visuals quickly contribute to its appeal, making it a valuable resource for anyone needing a hassle-free yet powerful platform for collaborative drawing and diagram creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Excalidraw?

While Excalidraw boasts many positive features, one drawback that I've noticed is its limited set of advanced design tools.

For users seeking highly specialized features or intricate design options, Excalidraw may not be the most comprehensive solution. The tool prioritizes simplicity, which is excellent for quick and collaborative sketches, but it may fall short for those with more demanding graphic design needs.
