Copy Markdown

Use the browser editor and understand where it stores boards.

The web editor provides the full canvas interface without access to native .inkfinite files. See the Editor guide for tools, gestures, selection, and styling.

Open the editor

The hosted editor lives at /app. It loads the Rust document engine through WebAssembly and stores boards for the current site in the browser. To run your own build, follow Building from source.

Storage and backups

The web editor stores boards in IndexedDB for the current origin and browser profile. It does not write canonical files to your filesystem, and another browser or deployment origin has a separate database.

Export work that you cannot afford to lose. Browser storage may disappear when you clear site data, remove a profile, or use private browsing. Use the desktop app when you want a canonical .inkfinite file that can be copied, versioned, or changed by the CLI.

Excalidraw and Obsidian Canvas exports preserve supported editable content but may omit features that the target format cannot represent. Mermaid and D2 files can be imported as editable cards, frames, and arrows. PNG and SVG exports are presentation copies. See File format before relying on an export as a backup.
