The web editor at app.diagrams.net and the Electron-based desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux draw flowcharts, network and cloud architecture diagrams, UML, ER models, floor plans and wireframes from large shape libraries (including AWS, Azure and GCP icon sets), with layers, connectors, custom styles and import of Lucidchart, Visio and Gliffy files. Files are stored where the user chooses: device, Google Drive, OneDrive, GitHub, GitLab or Dropbox, in an XML format that can also be embedded in PNG or SVG exports. Integrations exist for Confluence, Jira, VS Code, Notion and Microsoft Teams, and the editor source is Apache-2.0 licensed on GitHub.
