Obsidian Canvas
An infinite space to visualize and make sense of your ideas.
Visualize your ideas
Canvas allows you to organize notes visually — an infinite space to research, brainstorm, diagram and lay out your ideas.
Embed your notes alongside images, PDFs, videos, audio, and even fully interactive web pages.
A new way to think
Effortlessly add existing notes and media from your vault, and edit them within a Canvas view.
Your Canvas views can be embedded in notes, and even nested within another Canvas.
Extensible and interoperable
Like everything else in Obsidian, Canvas is extensible and designed for longevity. Our API makes it easy to create plugins that add new capabilities to Canvas.
Your Canvas files are stored locally using an open-source JSON file format that we built to interoperate with other tools. Apps, scripts, and plugins can easily enhance Canvas by adding or modifying cards and connections.
