Comparison
What teams want when draw.io falls short
draw.io is capable for standalone diagrams; Diagraw adds the collaborative, continuous-review layer.
When you review as a team
live
A session with cursors and comments instead of exporting and going back and forth over chat.
When decisions change
with history
Version history means you don't duplicate files to keep an earlier state.
When you start from Mermaid
not from scratch
Import the code, work on it visually and export Mermaid again.
When you present the diagram
together
Follow mode and presence so everyone watches the same canvas.
Why teams pick Diagraw over draw.io
A live session link, without exporting the diagram to comment on it.
Comments pinned to specific parts of the canvas.
Version history without duplicating files by hand.
Import an existing Mermaid flow or a Miro board.
An optional hand-drawn look so the diagram never feels rigid.
FAQ
Does Diagraw open .drawio files?
It doesn't import draw.io's native format, but if your diagram comes from Mermaid you can paste the code, and from Miro you can connect your account. Anything else is quick to redraw on the canvas.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Diagraw runs in the browser; open the link and start drawing.
Can I collaborate in real time?
Yes. Open a live session with cursors, presence and comments, even for signed-out guests.
What export formats are there?
Export to PNG, JPG or PDF, save a Diagraw file, or generate Mermaid and Docker Compose from the diagram.
Is it free?
Yes. Drawing and sharing by link is free and account-free for guests; the free account adds a library and version history.
