How it works

From description to finished data flow diagram in minutes

1

Describe or pick a template

Tell the AI what your process does, or start from a sample data flow.

“Start → Gather Requirements → Decision: Complete? → Refine or Proceed → End”

2

Review nodes & flows

Edit labels, types (start, process, decision, end), and connection text for clarity.

Rename “Process2” to “Review & Refine” and label a connector “No”

3

Arrange & style

Choose layout direction, auto-arrange spacing, and set colors by node type. Toggle labels and grid lines.

Left-to-right, medium arrows, process nodes in blue; show connection labels

4

Export or share

Download as PNG/SVG, copy a link, or embed the chart where it’s needed.

Export SVG for a wiki page

Who it’s for

Purpose-built for mapping data movement and decisions

Software & Systems

APIs and service flows

Show how requests move through services, gateways, and decisions across a system.

Data & Analytics

ETL/ELT pipelines

Diagram extraction, transformations, quality gates, and load steps with labeled data flows.

Operations

Process standardization

Document approvals, handoffs, and exception paths for SOPs and audits.

Education

Teaching algorithms

Explain branching logic and input/output steps for lessons and assignments.

Why choose AI over manual

Spend time on the logic, not the layout

Traditional flowcharting

  • Manual node placement is slow and inconsistent
  • Unlabeled connectors cause confusion
  • Hard to keep spacing and directions tidy
  • Color and style drift across diagrams
  • Revisions break the layout and require redo

AI-assisted flowcharting

  • Auto-layout keeps spacing and alignment clean
  • Connectors are labeled for clarity by default
  • Choose direction (LTR/TTB) and adjust in one step
  • Type-based colors maintain consistency
  • Edits reflow automatically without starting over

Flowchart & DFD FAQs

What is a data flow diagram generator?

It’s a tool that creates diagrams showing how information moves through a process or system. Our AI proposes nodes, connections, and labels, then lets you refine colors, sizes, and layout to match your documentation style.

How do I create a flowchart with AI?

Describe the process in plain language. AI drafts a left-to-right or top-to-bottom flow with labeled connectors. You can edit node types, rename steps, toggle labels, and auto-arrange for a clean result.

Can I label the data moving between steps?

Yes. Add connection labels to name the data or actions on each arrow. You can show or hide these labels, adjust line width and arrow size, and pick the layout direction for readability.

Is this good for data flow diagrams (DFD) vs regular flowcharts?

Yes. For DFD-style visuals, use processes for transformations and label connectors to represent data flows. If you need start/end points or decisions, include them as nodes and keep a consistent left-to-right direction.

Does it support auto-layout and reflow?

Yes. Choose a direction, click auto-arrange, and the diagram spaces itself. Edits reflow the layout so you can focus on the logic, not on manual placement.

Inclusive by design

  • High-contrast color suggestions for better readability
  • Legible font and node sizing for clarity at any zoom
  • Labels on nodes and connectors to reduce reliance on color alone
  • Directional arrows sized for visibility
  • Responsive layout that works on different screen sizes
