Everyone should know how painful the PPT and WORD drawing flowcharts are, and I believe that many students have used a flowchart drawing software VISIO from the Microsoft Office suite. Unfortunately, VISIO is not included in the standard Office suite and requires additional purchases.

Today, I will bring you an open source software draw.io. It is very convenient for the drawing of ordinary flowcharts. If you have one easy flow chart to make, draw.io can save you from worrying about the work of drawing lines and frames that will interrupt your thinking.

For the support of complex flow charts, the support of draw.io is obviously more user-friendly. We tried to make a swim lane diagram, draw.io can well identify which flow chart elements are in each swim lane, and can also adjust the size of each swim lane separately.

Other Function

  • Be Exported to Visio

Draw.io is open-source software, the source file corresponding to each picture is in XML format, and the data structure of each picture can be understood through XML. Draw.io can also export all kinds of pictures (such as png, jpg, svg) and PDF, and can also export HTML format and VSDX format (Microsoft Visio graphics format).

  • You can use shortcut keys

Although it is web application software, but it can support the use of commonly used shortcut keys as well. The settings of shortcut keys from the familiar copy and paste to undo are the same as the daily usage habits. No matter if you use mac or pc, there is a set of shortcut keys to match your own habits, and it’s really convenient!
