Draw IO

Draw.io is a web-based diagramming application designed to help users create a wide range of visual representations, including flowcharts, network diagrams, UML diagrams, org charts, wireframes, and process maps. Its primary purpose is to provide an intuitive, flexible environment for designing and maintaining diagrams that support planning, documentation, and communication across technical and non-technical teams. The tool runs in the browser and also offers desktop versions, making it accessible across platforms without complex installation or setup.

Key features include a drag-and-drop interface with an extensive library of shapes, icons, and templates for common diagram types. Draw.io integrates directly with platforms such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, GitHub, and Atlassian Confluence and Jira, enabling diagrams to be stored, versioned, and shared within existing workflows. Users can collaborate by sharing files, using revision history, and exporting diagrams in formats such as PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, and XML for further editing. Advanced options include custom shape creation, layers, alignment tools, grid snapping, and automatic layout algorithms to organize complex diagrams.
