FAQ

Questions, answered

Can I record an Excalidraw whiteboard?

ExcaliRec uses an Excalidraw-style canvas built in, so you draw and record in one place without screen-capturing a separate tab.

Do I need to install anything?

No. ExcaliRec runs entirely in your browser and works on Chrome and other modern browsers.

Is my recording private?

Yes. Recording happens locally in your browser; your video never uploads to a server.

16:9 (YouTube), 4:3, 3:4 (RedNote), 9:16 (TikTok) and 1:1 — up to 1080×1920.
