FAQ

FAQs

What is a workflow diagram maker with templates?

It’s a tool that helps you build flowcharts fast using ready‑made layouts for common processes. Pick a template, customize steps and decisions, then export or share.

How does the AI flowchart generator work?

Describe your process in plain language. The AI suggests nodes, decisions, and connections, applies an appropriate layout, and labels branches like Yes/No. You can refine everything.

Can I change flowchart orientation later?

Yes. Switch between left‑to‑right, top‑to‑bottom, right‑to‑left, or bottom‑to‑top at any time. Auto‑layout repositions nodes cleanly.

How do I show labels on connections?

Enable connection labels to display outcomes on decision branches. You can rename labels and adjust line width or arrow size for clarity.

Do you offer workflow diagram templates for specific industries?

Yes. Start from templates for onboarding, approvals, incident response, sales qualification, and more. Each template is fully customizable.

Can I collaborate or share my flowchart online?

Share a link for quick reviews or embed the chart on a site or wiki. You can also download PNG, SVG, or PDF for slides and documents.

Is this a free online flowchart maker?

You can create, customize, and export for free. Optional upgrades add AI file upload, smart cleanup, and a personal library to save charts.

What’s the difference between a flowchart and a process flow diagram?

A flowchart focuses on steps and decisions with labeled branches. A process flow diagram may include equipment or systems. This tool is optimized for clear step‑by‑step workflows.
