A web-based tool and npm package that converts Excalidraw drawings into animations, with configurable per-element animation order and duration. It supports loading .excalidraw files, .excalidrawlib libraries, or shareable links, and exporting animated results as SVG or WebM.

Use cases

• animate an excalidraw drawing
• turn whiteboard sketch into animated video
• create hand-drawn style animation from excalidraw file
• animate excalidraw library items one by one
• export animated drawing as svg or webm
• make explainer video from diagram

When to choose

• you already draw in Excalidraw and want to animate the result
• you need a quick browser-based tool with no setup
• you want per-element control over animation order and timing

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose animation tool with keyframes and easing
• you need reliable WebM export (the tool recommends screen capture instead)
• you work outside the Excalidraw ecosystem
