Map Any Process Instantly

A process mapping tool helps you visually document the steps, decisions, and flow of a workflow or procedure. It turns a sequence of actions into a structured flowchart that is easy to read, share, and improve. MakeCharts lets you build process maps using a drag-and-drop editor or AI generation.

Type a description of your process in the input box and click 'Create Your Process Map' — AI will generate a flowchart with nodes and connections automatically. You can also use the node editor to add steps manually and connect them in any order you choose.

Yes. The core flowchart builder is completely free to use with no account required. You can create, customize, and download process maps at no cost. Paid plans unlock more AI credits, file upload, and advanced export options for teams with higher volume needs.

The tool supports four standard node types: Start, End, Process, and Decision. Each type has its own visual style and color, making it easy to distinguish the flow of your process at a glance. You can customize the color of each node type to match your standards.

Absolutely. MakeCharts is built for business use cases including approval workflows, onboarding steps, incident response procedures, and more. You can export your flowchart as a high-resolution PNG or SVG for use in presentations, documentation, or printed materials.

Add a Decision node to your flowchart using the node editor, then create two connections from it — one for each outcome. You can label each connection (for example 'Yes' or 'Approved') so the branching logic is immediately clear to anyone reading the diagram.

Yes. Once your flowchart is ready, you can copy a shareable link to send directly to colleagues or clients. Plus and Pro users can also generate embed codes to publish the diagram on an internal wiki, website, or knowledge base.

The terms are often used interchangeably. A flowchart is a specific type of process map that uses standardized shapes (boxes, diamonds, ovals) to represent steps and decisions. MakeCharts uses the flowchart format to help you create structured, readable process maps quickly.

Yes. The auto-layout feature arranges all your nodes and connections in a clean, readable layout with one click. You can choose from four directions — top-to-bottom, left-to-right, right-to-left, or bottom-to-top — and adjust horizontal and vertical spacing to fit your content.

Yes. You can add as many nodes and connections as your process requires, including multiple decision branches and parallel paths. The canvas supports zooming and dragging so you can work comfortably on detailed, multi-step process diagrams.
