The Easy Choice for Online Diagramming

Easy to Use

SmartDraw provides the right balance between automation and flexibility for diagrams of all kinds. You'll always have the right set of tools and symbols at your fingertips. You can quickly add symbols from pop-up menus and rearrange elements so that they remain aligned and connected how you'd expect. You'll also get professionally-designed themes for a presentation-quality finish every time.

Easy to Work With Other Apps

SmartDraw is easy to work with no matter what other apps you use. You can add diagrams to:

Microsoft Office^®
- Word^®
- PowerPoint^®
- Excel^®
Microsoft Teams^®
Google Workspace^™
- Google Docs
- Google Sheets
Atlassian^™ apps
- Confluence
- Jira

Easy to Save to Your Existing Storage Solution

SmartDraw works hand in glove with most file storage systems. You can save your files directly to:

SharePoint^®
OneDrive^®
Google Drive^™
DropBox^®
Box^®

There is no need to create a parallel set of common folders and permissions, SmartDraw can just save files directly into your existing set up.

Easy to Share

Share your diagram with anyone, even if they don't own a copy of SmartDraw, with a link. You can also easily export any diagram as a PDF or common image formats like PNG or SVG.

Easy to Get Help

Have a question? Chat or email us. SmartDraw support is in-house and free!

Easy to Collaborate

You and your team can work on the same diagram by sharing it on your included online account or by using your favorite file sharing apps like Dropbox^®, Google Drive^™, Box^® or OneDrive^®. You can also share files with non SmartDraw users by simply emailing them a link.

Why SmartDraw is Better than ConceptDraw^®

No other drawing software has as many templates and symbols included as SmartDraw. ConceptDraw^® requires buying separate content packages to get symbols and shapes for your diagrams. Not SmartDraw. Once you own SmartDraw, you'll have access to thousands of templates and symbols for no extra charge. You'll be able to make flowcharts, organizational charts, project charts, mind maps, network diagrams, roadmaps, PI boards, and so much more using one unified app.

Create Anything with Built-In Templates & Symbols

SmartDraw includes thousands of templates and symbols for business diagrams of all kinds. Choose a template and get all the tools and symbols you need to create that diagram at your fingertips. You can even add multiple diagrams to a single seamless workspace for easy collaboration with your team.

Easily create:

Flowcharts
Floor Plans
Mind Maps
Concept Maps
Org Charts
Marketing Diagrams
Network Designs
and Much More!
