Convert Excalidraw to Markdown.
Drop an Excalidraw board and get the text on it as a clean Markdown list. It runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.
Drag & drop your files
or
Optimize for AI & RAG
Extra cleanup for LLM ingestion: strip HTML, fix smart quotes, tidy Unicode and spacing.
Add YAML front matter
Prepend a metadata block (title, source, date, word & token counts) for knowledge bases and RAG.
Add table of contents
Build a linked index from the headings. Handy for long documents.
Export RAG chunks (.json)
Split the result into retrieval-ready chunks. Download per file from the result panel.
Most converters quietly upload your documents to a server. This one physically can't.
A sketch holds
hidden words.
An .excalidraw file is a JSON whiteboard. Buried in it are the labels you typed on the canvas. This pulls those out as a tidy Markdown bullet list.

Everything you
actually need.
An Excalidraw board in, the typed text out as Markdown, with no server and no account anywhere.
It never leaves your browser
Your .excalidraw is read and parsed on your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.
# Heading

3 chunks
AI & RAG ready
Optional cleanup, YAML front matter, a table of contents and RAG chunk export.
Works offline
Once the page has loaded you can switch off your connection and it keeps converting.

Just the text
The words written on the canvas are pulled out as a list. The drawing itself is not.
Unicode safe
Accents, symbols and non-Latin scripts come through intact as UTF-8.
Free, and unlimited
No sign-up, no quotas, no watermarks. Convert one file or a thousand; it all runs the same way, on your own device.
Words stay,
the drawing goes.
Honest about what comes through, and what doesn't. Only the typed text on the board survives. The sketch around it does not.
