   Create presentations with smart animations using Excalidraw▲12

   I often create presentations where elements need to move (animate) from one slide to the next. This is great for explaining algorithms, workflows, or anything that benefits from dynamic visuals.

Features: - keyboard shortcuts: copy/paste/del, up/down navigation - adjust document size - drag and drop images - google fonts integration - presentation mode - export as GIF,…
