Flowchart Maker
Build and export professional flowcharts entirely in your browser.
What is it?
The Flowchart Maker is a free, browser-based diagramming tool for creating process flows, decision trees, system architectures, and workflow diagrams. Add rectangles (process steps), diamonds (decision points), ovals (start/end), and parallelograms (input/output). Connect any two shapes with directional arrows, add text labels to both nodes and connectors, drag everything into position, and export the finished diagram as a high-resolution PNG. All work happens locally — no account, no cloud storage, no data sent anywhere.
How to use it
- Click a shape button (Rectangle, Diamond, Oval, Parallelogram) to add it to the canvas.
- Double-click any shape to edit its label text.
- Click the "Arrow" tool, then click a source shape and drag to the target shape.
- Drag shapes freely to rearrange the layout.
- Click a shape or arrow and press Delete to remove it.
- Click "Export PNG" to download the diagram as an image.
Why use this tool
Flowcharts are the universal language of process documentation — used by developers mapping algorithms, managers drafting onboarding procedures, teachers explaining decision logic, and analysts documenting system flows. Professional tools like Lucidchart or Visio cost money and require sign-ups. Our maker gives you the core diagramming capability for free, right in the browser, with instant PNG export. The canvas auto-scrolls for large diagrams and your work is auto-saved to localStorage so nothing is lost on accidental tab close.
Frequently asked questions
Can I connect a shape to multiple others?
Yes. You can draw as many arrows from or to a single shape as needed, enabling complex branching and merging flows.
Can I change the color of shapes?
Yes. Select a shape and use the color picker in the toolbar to set the fill and border colors.
Is there a limit on the number of shapes?
No hard limit. Performance is excellent up to a few hundred nodes; very large diagrams may slow canvas redraws.
Can I add text to arrows?
Yes. Double-click any arrow to add a midpoint label, useful for labeling Yes/No decision branches.
Does my diagram save automatically?
Yes. The diagram state is serialized to localStorage every few seconds so you can safely close and return.
