Describe anything in plain text. Get the diagram type that fits — no need to know which one you want first.
New employee onboarding: HR sends offer letter, candidate signs, IT provisions laptop and accounts, manager schedules first-week 1:1s, employee completes compliance training by day 5.
Try it →Webhook delivery: our backend sends an event to the customer's webhook URL, if the customer's server returns a non-200 we retry with exponential backoff up to 5 times, then move the event to a dead-letter queue.
Try it →Q2 roadmap mindmap: Platform (auth revamp, billing v2), Growth (SEO, referral program), Mobile (offline mode, push notifications), Support (help center rewrite, live chat pilot).
Try it →Two-week sprint Gantt: design (days 1-2), backend build (days 2-6), frontend build (days 4-8, overlaps backend), QA (days 8-9), release (day 10).
Try it →You have a description, not a diagram-type decision. Paste it here and let the classifier pick — faster than reading seven landing pages to figure out which one applies.
A team wiki that needs flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and mindmaps side by side doesn't need seven different tools — one generator that classifies and draws all of them keeps the workflow consistent.
Turning meeting notes or a stream-of-consciousness description into a visual on the spot, without first categorizing what kind of visual it should be.
Instructors describing a concept out loud can paste the same description here and get whichever diagram shape best matches — useful when the 'right' diagram type isn't obvious to a non-technical audience.
Product managers and designers who don't know Mermaid syntax — or diagram-type names — can describe what they want in plain language and let the AI handle classification.
text2diagram covers seven diagram types under the hood — flowchart, sequence, ERD, class, state, mindmap, and Gantt — plus architecture diagrams built on the flowchart engine. This page is the entry point for when you have a description in your head but haven't decided which of those shapes fits it best. Type your description and the AI classifies it: process descriptions become flowcharts, actor-to-actor interactions become sequence diagrams, hierarchical outlines become mindmaps, and so on.
This matters because most people don't think in diagram-type taxonomy — they think "I need to explain how our signup works" or "I need to show the shape of our Q2 plan," not "I need a flowchart" or "I need a mindmap." Auto-classification means you can describe the thing you actually care about and let the tool handle the translation into diagram vocabulary.
If you already know exactly which diagram type you want, the dedicated per-type pages (flowchart, sequence, ERD, class, state, mindmap, Gantt, architecture) go deeper on that one type — more examples tuned to it, syntax notes, and type-specific FAQ. Use this page for the "just describe it and see what comes out" workflow, and the type-specific pages when you already know the shape of the answer.
Not sure how to phrase your prompt? Chat mode lets AI ask 2-3 clarifying questions about actors, events, and edge cases — then draws.
