What can I export from Excalimate?

Excalimate exports animated diagrams in 8 formats: MP4, WebM, GIF, SVG, dotLottie, Lottie JSON, PNG, and WebP.

Does Excalimate support AI-assisted workflows?

Yes. Excalimate provides MCP tools for direct scene and animation control, plus 16 specialized AI skills for common diagram types.

How does encrypted sharing work?

Sharing is end-to-end encrypted: project data is encrypted client-side and the key stays in the URL hash fragment, so the server cannot read your content.

Is Excalimate free and open source?

Yes. Excalimate is free to use and open source under the MIT license, with the full codebase available on GitHub.
