FAQ
FAQs
What is a social network diagram tool?
It’s a visual builder that maps people or entities and the relationships between them. This tool centers a root node, supports multiple node shapes, and lets you zoom, pan, export, and share.
How does the AI help create my diagram?
Describe your network in plain language. The AI proposes nodes, relationships, labels, and a balanced layout centered on your chosen root. You can edit everything in the data and display panels.
Can I change the root node after generating?
Yes. Select any node as the Root Node (Center) in Display Settings and the diagram re-centers instantly.
Does it support different node shapes for roles?
Yes. Pick a default shape or assign shapes like circle, square, rounded, cloud, or hexagon to signal roles or types.
How do I import my data?
Paste an edge list (from,to) to load relationships quickly, or type names and add links in the editors. You can also start from the preview defaults.
What formats can I export?
Export high-quality PNG or SVG for documents and slides. You can also share a link or embed the diagram online.
Is this social network diagram tool free to use?
You can create, customize, and export diagrams for free. Upgrading adds convenience features like saving and reusing charts across projects.
What’s the difference between a social graph maker and this tool?
They’re the same idea. This social network diagram tool focuses on clear labels, a centered root, shape-based roles, and fast sharing.
Can I map non-person entities (teams, vendors)?
Absolutely. Treat any entity as a node and connect it to people or other entities to reflect real-world relationships.
How large of a network can I visualize?
Start small and grow. Zoom & pan help you navigate larger maps, and you can simplify by focusing on a single root-centered view.
