What can you do with EdrawMax Online?

EdrawMax Online is a browser-based diagram maker for creating, editing, sharing, and exporting visual diagrams without installing desktop software. It supports 210+ diagram types, including flowcharts, mind maps, organization charts, UML diagrams, ER diagrams, floor plans, network diagrams, electrical diagrams, Gantt charts, and concept maps. You can start from an AI-generated draft, a ready-made template, or a blank canvas, then edit the result with drag-and-drop shapes and connectors.

Start with AI

Best for: turning a prompt, document, code, or image into a fast first draft. Review AI-generated structure and labels before using the diagram for technical, compliance, or decision-critical work.

Start with a template

Best for: standard diagram formats such as flowcharts, org charts, UML, ERDs, floor plans, and project visuals when you want a proven layout that can be customized quickly.

Start from scratch

Best for: specialized or highly customized diagrams where you need full control over shapes, connectors, labels, layout, themes, and imported assets.

Choose the right diagram for your task

Different diagram types answer different questions. Use the format that matches the relationship or process you need to explain.

Flowchart

Best for: processes, decisions, workflows, and step-by-step logic.

Mind map

Best for: brainstorming, topic breakdowns, study notes, and idea relationships.

Org chart

Best for: reporting lines, team structures, roles, and organizational hierarchy.

UML or ER diagram

Best for: software structure, system interactions, database entities, and data relationships.

Floor plan

Best for: spatial layouts and planning. Verify dimensions and local requirements before construction or safety-critical use.

Network or electrical diagram

Best for: documenting system connections and infrastructure. Treat templates as planning references rather than installation specifications.
