The README states the motivation plainly: Excalidraw is useful for sketching during design, but diagrams often need to be redone for documentation, and the tool bridges those tasks. ### Adoption history Adoption is niche but visible for documentation workflows. The README documents Homebrew installation for macOS, release downloads for other operating systems, and compatibility with Gliffy, draw.io, Mermaid, GitHub/GitLab Markdown rendering, MkDocs, Docusaurus, and Obsidian Excalidraw exports. ### How it is used Users run exconv with a subcommand and input file, such as exconv gliffy -i my-diagram.excalidraw or exconv mermaid -i my-diagram.excalidraw. Gliffy output can be imported into Gliffy or draw.io; Mermaid output can be pasted into Markdown-oriented documentation systems. The README documents support for fixed shapes, connected arrows, text, styling, and selected Excalidraw constructs, while noting limitations such as Mermaid flowchart-only output and incomplete support for some rich Excalidraw elements. ### Why package nerds care The package is a small bridge between whiteboard-style drawing and documentation-as-code. It is useful to package because it turns a GUI drawing artifact into formats that can live in wikis, Markdown, and diagramming tools. ### Timeline - 2021: Repository created and v0.0.1 released. - 2021 onward: README documents Homebrew installation and binary release downloads. - 2026: GitHub repository metadata shows continued updates. ### Related projects - The README centers the tool around Excalidraw, Gliffy, draw.io, Mermaid, and Excalidraw for Obsidian. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** excalidraw-converter - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Productivity CLI packages](https://pkg.so/productivity-cli-packages/) - Matched curated productivity category metadata from av.db. - [go](https://pkg.so/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [libpst](https://pkg.so/brew/libpst/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, conversion, productivity. - [evernote2md](https://pkg.so/brew/evernote2md/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, conversion, productivity. - [tmux](https://pkg.so/brew/tmux/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [vim](https://pkg.so/brew/vim/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [himalaya](https://pkg.so/brew/himalaya/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [yazi](https://pkg.so/brew/yazi/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [emacs](https://pkg.so/brew/emacs/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [zellij](https://pkg.so/brew/zellij/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [aliyunpan](https://pkg.so/brew/aliyunpan/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
