About draw.io
draw.io is an open source diagramming app for flowcharts, UML, network diagrams and org charts. You can use it in the browser or install the desktop app, and it stores your files wherever you choose.
What it does
draw.io gives you a large set of shape libraries and a simple drag-and-drop editor. Files can be saved to your computer or to storage such as Google Drive, OneDrive or GitHub, so the diagram data stays where you want it. Several people can work on one diagram with shared cursors. Diagrams can be exported as SVG, PNG or PDF, or embedded in a web page as an editable diagram.
