DiagramPreview

Description

DiagramPreview is an online diagram preview and conversion workspace for developers, product teams, architects, and technical writers who need to check diagrams before they land in documentation, tickets, pull requests, or incident reports. It renders text and structured data into visual previews that are easy to inspect, share, and export, keeping the source visible next to the preview.

The workspace supports many developer-oriented formats, including Mermaid, PlantUML, Markdown, Graphviz, D2, Draw.io XML, mind maps, JSON, and YAML, and it can convert between them, such as turning Mermaid or PlantUML into editable Draw.io XML. It also visualizes schemas and contracts like JSON Schema, Protobuf, GraphQL, SQL, DBML, and Prisma, and turns OpenAPI, Postman, and HAR traffic into sequence and error-flow diagrams for backend review.

Beyond diagrams, it includes a large set of single-purpose utilities for DevOps and config, such as visualizing Docker Compose, Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, GitHub Actions, and Helm values, plus AI-assisted generators that create Mermaid, PlantUML, and Draw.io from natural language or notes.

Most rendering runs locally in the browser to keep drafts fast and private, while AI-assisted generators use a server-side API so provider keys are not exposed. Supported renderers export SVG, PNG, and print-style PDF from the workspace toolbar.

FAQ from DiagramPreview

• What can DiagramPreview render?

  It focuses on Mermaid, PlantUML, Markdown, Graphviz, JSON, and YAML, with structured preview pages for many other diagram, schema, and config formats.

• Do my diagrams upload to a server?

  Browser-first tools render locally when possible. PlantUML uses a server URL in the first version so the renderer can be replaced later, and AI generators use a server-side API so keys are not exposed.

• Can I convert diagrams between formats?

  Yes. You can convert Mermaid and PlantUML into editable Draw.io XML, turn SQL and DBML into ER diagrams, and move between diagram sources with less manual cleanup.

• Can I export diagrams?

  Yes. Supported renderers expose SVG, PNG, copy, and print-style PDF actions from the workspace toolbar.

• Can it help debug APIs?

  Yes. You can turn OpenAPI paths, Postman collections, and HAR traffic into sequence and error-flow diagrams for backend review.

• Who is DiagramPreview for?

  It is built for developers and technical teams who need to check diagrams before they land in documentation, tickets, pull requests, architecture notes, or incident reports.
