Image to Drawio

Description

Image to Drawio is an AI-powered converter that transforms static diagram images into editable Draw.io (diagrams.net) files. You upload a screenshot, whiteboard photo, or scanned sketch, and the tool uses computer vision and OCR to detect shapes, extract text, and identify connections, then reconstructs the diagram in Draw.io's native mxGraph XML format.

It accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WEBP images up to 10MB and preserves your original layout, keeping arrows pointing the right way and text inside its shapes. Converted files open in the embedded Draw.io editor immediately, with no download or installation, and work across the Draw.io web, desktop, and VS Code editors. Most conversions finish in about one to two minutes.

The converter handles flowcharts, org charts, network diagrams, AWS and cloud architectures, and hand-drawn sketches, and is useful for recovering lost source files, digitizing whiteboard ideas, customizing diagrams found online, and modernizing legacy documentation. Uploaded images are encrypted and processed securely, and the company states it does not train AI on your diagrams or share your data.

Image to Drawio uses a credit system where one credit converts one image. You can try one conversion free without an account and get two credits on registration, with a one-time credit pack and an unlimited monthly Pro plan available, plus referral credits.

FAQ from Image to Drawio

• What kind of images can I convert?

  Anything with a diagram on it in PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WEBP format, including screenshots, whiteboard photos, and scanned sketches. Cleaner images produce cleaner Draw.io files.

• How well does the conversion work?

  Simple flowcharts and org charts convert nearly perfectly, while very complex diagrams with many overlapping connections may need minor touch-ups, but it is far faster than redrawing from scratch.

• Can I convert hand-drawn sketches?

  Yes. You can photograph a paper or whiteboard sketch and convert it, and dark marker on a white background with readable handwriting works best.

• What is the maximum file size?

  The limit is 10MB, though most screenshots are well under that. If you hit the limit, resize the image first.

• How do credits work?

  One credit equals one conversion. You get one free anonymous conversion, two credits on registration, and referral credits, with a one-time credit pack and an unlimited monthly Pro plan available. Re-downloading old conversions is free.

• Is my data private?

  Yes. Uploads are encrypted and processed securely, conversions are saved so you can re-download them, and the company states it does not train AI on your diagrams or share your data.
