Wobbleboard as an Excalidraw alternative
If you like Excalidraw’s hand-drawn whiteboard, you already know what Wobbleboard feels like. It reads and writes the same open scene format and keeps the same fast, no-fuss approach. This page is a straight, factual look at what is similar and what differs.
What’s the same
- A hand-drawn, sketchy rendering style with adjustable sloppiness.
- An infinite canvas with the core shapes, arrows, freehand, text and images.
- Files in the open
.excalidrawscene format, so work moves between tools. - End-to-end encrypted sharing with the key kept in the link fragment.
- Free to use without an account.
What Wobbleboard focuses on
- Keyboard-driven flowcharts: Ctrl/⌘ + arrow keys extend a diagram step by step.
- Exports that can embed the scene, so a PNG or SVG doubles as an editable file.
- Optional accounts for saving drawings in the cloud and syncing a personal shape library.
- A command palette and on-canvas search for large boards.
What it doesn’t have (yet)
Wobbleboard is newer and smaller. It doesn’t currently offer translations, text-to-diagram generation, a public library marketplace or follow-a-collaborator mode. If you depend on those today, an established tool may fit better — and because the file format is shared, you can move between them.
Frequently asked questions
Can I open my Excalidraw files in Wobbleboard?
Yes. Drop a .excalidraw file onto the canvas or use Open. Most scenes load as they are; unsupported or very new element types may render differently.
Is Wobbleboard affiliated with Excalidraw?
No. It is an independent project that supports the open file format. Excalidraw is a trademark of its respective owners.
Which should I pick?
Try both on a real diagram. They’re free, and the shared file format means switching costs very little.
