diagrams.net and the draw.io branded Atlassian integrations are the leading solution for web based sketching and diagramming functionality. You can use diagrams.net online with a number of storage platforms, and offline with a standalone desktop app.

As a security-first diagramming app for teams, we provide the diagramming functionality - you choose where to keep your diagram data. There are many different integrations with other platforms and applications, including Atlassian Confluence Cloud and Jira Cloud, Google applications, GitHub and Microsoft applications. Unofficial integrations are available for many other platforms and tools.

Diagramming is not like painting with brushes as if you were editing a photo. It’s also not charting numerical data from a spreadsheet.

Instead, you place a number of diagram elements, connect them together, add descriptive text, and style the elements to convey more complex information visually.

diagrams.net gives you the tools to create a wide variety of diagrams: flow charts, mind maps, org charts, Venn diagrams, infographics, network and architecture diagrams, floor plans, electrical and rack diagrams, UML diagrams, and more.
