FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BPMN tool?
A BPMN tool is software for creating Business Process Model and Notation diagrams — standardized flowcharts that map how a process moves from start to finish, including tasks, decisions, and endpoints. MakeCharts provides a free BPMN-style flowchart tool that works directly in your browser with no setup.
How do I create a BPMN flowchart for free?
Open the MakeCharts BPMN tool, describe your process in the text field or add nodes manually using the editor, then connect them with labeled arrows. The tool is completely free to use and requires no account to get started. Export your finished flowchart as PNG or SVG.
Does this tool support BPMN notation like gateways and events?
Yes. The flowchart supports the core BPMN building blocks: start events, end events, process tasks, and decision gateways. You can label every connection — including 'Yes' and 'No' branches — to match standard BPMN notation used in business analysis and process documentation.
Can I use AI to generate my BPMN flowchart?
Yes. Type a description of your workflow and the AI generates a structured flowchart with appropriate node types and connections. You can then edit any part of the diagram manually. Free accounts include AI credits to try this feature.
What is the difference between a BPMN diagram and a regular flowchart?
BPMN is a standardized notation for business process diagrams, building on traditional flowchart concepts. It uses specific symbols — like rounded rectangles for tasks, diamonds for gateways, and circles for start/end events. MakeCharts supports these core BPMN shapes in its flowchart tool.
Can I share or embed my BPMN flowchart?
Yes. You can download your flowchart as PNG or SVG for use in documents and presentations. Plus and Pro plans also include embed codes to add a live flowchart to any website or wiki, and shareable links for quick collaboration.
Does this online BPMN tool require installation?
No. MakeCharts is fully browser-based. Open the tool, create your BPMN flowchart, and export — no downloads, plugins, or installations needed. It works on any device including tablets and laptops.
Can I customize the colors of my BPMN flowchart?
Yes. You can set custom colors for each node type — start, process, decision, and end — as well as connection line colors, font sizes, and node sizes. This makes it easy to match your brand guidelines or internal documentation standards.
