Self-Host the Open-Source Excalidraw Editor
If you want to run the open-source Excalidraw editor on your own infrastructure, use the official Excalidraw self-hosting documentation.
This path is best for teams that want to deploy the Excalidraw editor itself without the broader Excalidraw Plus platform or hosted workspace features.
When to Use Open Source Self-Hosting
The open-source route is a good fit if you need the editor itself and want to manage the deployment independently without the full Excalidraw Plus platform.
Common Reasons to Self-Host the Open-Source Editor
- You want a self-hosted Excalidraw editor for internal tools
- You are embedding Excalidraw into your own product
- You want full control over infrastructure and deployment
- You do not need the broader Excalidraw Plus feature set
