About EXCALIDRAW
Excalidraw is the free whiteboard in the browser whose shapes look sketched by hand. Teams draw architecture, flows and ideas in it during calls, and its .excalidraw files end up in repos, wikis and chats.
An .excalidraw file is JSON: every element with its place, size, angle, colors, stroke, fill style and roughness, and a seed that decides exactly how its lines wobble. Arrows keep their points and the shapes they join, freehand strokes their points and pressures, text its font, and pictures sit inside the file as data.
Filepeek draws it in your browser with roughjs and each element's own seed, so every line wobbles as Excalidraw drew it, freehand strokes with perfect-freehand, and text in Excalidraw's own fonts. Frames are listed beside the drawing, Search finds any text, and Export saves it as SVG, PNG or PDF. An embedded web page shows as a box with its address, and nothing loads.

Questions
How do I open an .excalidraw file?
Drop it on this page or press Peek an EXCALIDRAW. It opens as the drawing in your browser, sketched lines and all, on a phone too.
Does it look the way it did in Excalidraw?
Yes. Each shape keeps the seed Excalidraw drew it with, and Filepeek draws with the same library and seed, so its lines wobble the same way.
How do I convert Excalidraw to PNG, SVG or PDF?
Open it, choose Export, then Save the page as SVG, Save as PDF, or save it as PNG or JPEG at 1x, 2x or 3x.
What about Obsidian's drawings?
An .excalidraw file opens as its drawing. Obsidian's .excalidraw.md keeps the drawing packed inside Markdown, which opens as text.
Can I edit it?
Filepeek only shows it. Excalidraw is free at excalidraw.com, in any browser.
