+
+## Usage
+
+Excalidraw utils is published as a UMD (Universal Module Definition). If you are using a module bundler (for instance, Webpack), you can import it as an ES6 module:
+
+```js
+import { exportToSvg, exportToBlob } from "@excalidraw/utils";
+```
+
+To use it in a browser directly:
+
+```html
+<script src="https://unpkg.com/@excalidraw/utils@0.1.0/dist/excalidraw-utils.min.js"></script>
+<script>
+ // ExcalidrawUtils is a global variable defined by excalidraw.min.js
+ const { exportToSvg, exportToBlob } = ExcalidrawUtils;
+</script>
+```
+
+Here's the `exportToBlob` and `exportToSvg` functions in action:
+
+```js
+const excalidrawDiagram = {
+ type: "excalidraw",
+ version: 2,
+ source: "https://excalidraw.com",
+ elements: [
+ {
+ id: "vWrqOAfkind2qcm7LDAGZ",

+ ],
+ appState: {

+ },
+};
+
+// Export the Excalidraw diagram as SVG string
+const svg = exportToSvg(excalidrawDiagram);
+console.log(svg.outerHTML);
+
+// Export the Excalidraw diagram as PNG Blob URL
+(async () => {
+ const blob = await exportToBlob({
+ ...excalidrawDiagram,
+ mimeType: "image/png",
+ });
+
+ const urlCreator = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
+ console.log(urlCreator.createObjectURL(blob));
+})();
+```
