## Introduction
TLDraw extends VS Code with support for [TLDraw](https://tldraw.com) files.
[TLDraw](https://tldraw.com) is a free drawing and diagramming tool with a hand-drawn style and convenient features such as smart arrows, snapping, and sticky notes. With the TLDraw extension for VS Code, your TLDraw files can be version controlled alongside your code.
> **Tip:** The files you create or edit here can also be opened in the TLDraw [web app](https://tldraw.com).
## Installation
You can install TLDraw from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace or by searching within VS Code.
