Flowchart Maker

Build a simple flowchart in your browser. Nodes, connections and exports remain on this device.
Step 1 / 3

Turn a small process into a clear visual flowchart without installing software. Start from a blank canvas or a simple decision example, add and move shapes, connect them with arrows, then download the finished diagram as SVG or PNG. Your working diagram stays in this browser tab.

Create a flowchart in four steps

  1. 1

    Choose a starting point

    Pick a blank canvas or the simple decision starter.

  2. 2

    Add the right shapes

    Use Start / End, Process, Decision, Input / Output and Data nodes for the parts of your process.

  3. 3

    Connect and arrange

    Create directed connections, label decision paths Yes or No when useful, and drag nodes into a readable layout.

  4. 4

    Review and download

    Check the flow, then download a local SVG or PNG copy.

A practical shape guide

Node Use it for Example
Start / End Where a path begins or finishes Start, Order complete
Process An action or task Validate address
Decision A question with different paths Payment accepted?
Input / Output Information entering or leaving the process Read request
Data A stored record or data source Customer record

Keep the diagram easy to follow

  • Give each node a short, specific label.
  • Put the usual path in a consistent direction, then make exceptions obvious.
  • Label decision branches when a reader could not infer the outcome.
  • Split a very large process into smaller diagrams rather than shrinking every label.

This maker is for visual diagrams. It does not import diagram code or project files, and it does not provide collaboration or cloud storage. In the multi-step view, the current diagram is kept only in this tab session for up to 30 minutes so you can move between steps. Export a copy before closing the tab.

Frequently Asked Questions

SVG is a vector image format. Many vector-design applications can open it, but this tool does not create a separate editable project file. PNG is an image export.

This editor offers optional Yes and No labels for directed connections. Leave a connection unlabelled when the direction is already clear.

The current nodes and connections are held in this browser tab session for up to 30 minutes. They are not placed in the page URL. If that temporary session is unavailable or expires, create the diagram again or use an export you already downloaded.
