draw.io
Operator: draw.io Ltd, United Kingdom
A free diagram editor in the browser or on your computer for workflows, relationship diagrams and technical illustrations.
Visualisation
For PDF/image exports, AI features and file retrieval by URL, the diagram is sent to a processing server. Real-time collaboration retains encrypted changes there for up to five minutes. When connected to Google Drive, the sign-in token and email address are sent to draw.io; the server reads the organisation domain and Google account ID from them.
