Who it's for

  • Anyone who wants to add a single explanatory diagram to reports or blog posts. Paste a paragraph, and it extracts the structure to draw it.
  • Planners tired of explaining processes or relationships in words. Get flowcharts and relationship maps in seconds.
  • People who gave up on making diagrams because they do not know how to use graphic design tools.

Drawbacks

  • The UI is in English, and line breaks in Korean text can sometimes look awkward inside diagrams. You need to keep text short.
  • The free plan refills AI credits weekly and blocks SVG/PPT export, so you need a paid plan to export directly into slides.
  • It cannot create an entire presentation. It is a tool for making single diagrams to insert into other documents.

Getting started

  1. Sign up on the official website and open a new document.
  2. Paste the paragraph you want to turn into a diagram. Keep one clear idea per paragraph.
  3. Click the generate diagram button next to the paragraph and choose from several options.
  4. Shorten item text and adjust colors to fit your style.
  5. Download as PNG or PDF and insert it into your report. A paid plan is required for SVG or PPT export.
