## What it is
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
