  • To make sure that the files you edit and create look good, you MUST ALWAYS use a command like the following one to export a rendered image, view it, understand how it looks and what needs improvement, and iterate - making updates to the excalidraw file, exporting, and reviewing again - until the results are pixel perfect.
npx excalidraw-brute-export-cli \
  --input slides.excalidraw \
  --output slides.png \
  --format png \
  --scale 2 \
  --embed-scene true
  • ALWAYS export and review. NEVER declare the work on an Excalidraw drawing or presentation done until you've reviewed its rendered visual representation to verify and adjust as needed.
