FAQ

What is a .canvas file?

JSON Canvas is the open, documented format behind Obsidian Canvas and many other whiteboard tools. It stores nodes (text / file / link / group) and the edges connecting them in a single JSON document.

Are my canvas connections preserved?

Yes. Every node row has an 'edges' column listing each node it connects to, plus the edge label when one exists.

Is my canvas uploaded anywhere?

No. The whole conversion runs locally in your browser with JavaScript.

Example input

Try it with this sample — paste it into the box above:
