diagrams.net (formerly called Draw.io) is a completely free, open-source, cross-platform and stand-alone flowchart drawing application that can be used as a browser-based web application, desktop application and plug-in for some other software. That’s to say, you can use its web edition directly in a web browser (no registration required, no limitations, no catches), or use its desktop edition offline under Windows, Mac or Linux OS.

As a professional and high-quality flowchart drawing software, diagrams.net is developed based on the open-source software framework Electron. Therefore, it realizes the cross-platform development with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS (the same as Visual Studio Code), and realizes the integration of web side, desktop side and VSCode plug-in side. In addition, it stores data in the fully open XML format, which can be easily imported, exported, or embedded into other programs.

diagrams.net enables user to easily create flowcharts, UML, entity relation, network diagrams, mockups, and more, and is applicable to the professional drawing in many fields such as business, engineering, electrical design, network design, software design, etc. It comes with quite rich drawing resources covering many fields, including all kinds of shapes, icons, connectors, templates, can meet the vast majority of drawing needs, can import the third party icon resources to meet more requirements, and can completely replace many flow chart applications such like Microsoft Visio.

BTW, in addition to diagrams.net’s online edition and desktop edition, Lucidchart, Microsoft Visio, you can also give many other similar tools like ProcessOn, Axure RP, MindMaster or Edraw Max a try.
