draw.io, this project, is a configurable diagramming/whiteboarding visualization application. draw.io is jointly owned and developed by JGraph Ltd and draw.io AG.

As well as running this project, we run a production-grade deployment of the diagramming interface at https://app.diagrams.net.

We have checked in all cases that the original license allows use in this project. Also see the terms for using the draw.io logo below.

Additional minified JavaScript files and Java libraries are used in this project. All of the licenses are deemed compatible with the Apache 2.0, nothing is GPL or AGPL, due dilgence is performed on all third-party code.

We make no copyright claim on the content you create with this software, regardless of the copyright of individual icons used in such content.

draw.io is a diagramming or whiteboarding application, depending on which theme is selected. It is not an SVG editing app, the SVG export is designed only for embedding in web pages, not for further editing in other tools.

The application is designed to be used largely as-is. draw.io is not suitable as a framework for building other products from. For this try either Tldraw or Excalidraw.

Note, in particular, we don't have support for collaborative editing in this project. If this is important, one of the projects above is likely a better choice.

If you are using a draw.io project/product and have issues or questions about the editor itself, the issue tracker and discussion in this GitHub project are likely a good place to look.

One way to run draw.io is to fork this project, publish the master branch to GitHub pages and the pages sites will have the full editor functionality (sans the integrations).

Another way is to use the recommended Docker project or to download draw.io Desktop.

The full packaged .war of the client and servlets is built when the project is tagged and available on the releases page.

draw.io supports Chrome 70 , Firefox 70 , Safari 11 , Opera 50 , Native Android browser 7x , the default browser in the current and previous major iOS versions (e.g. 11.2.x and 10.3.x) and Edge 79 .

draw.io is also closed to contributions. We follow a development process compliant with our SOC 2 Type II process. We do not have a mechanism where we can accept contributions from non-staff members.

draw.io is not suitable as a framework for building other products from. For this try either Tldraw or Excalidraw.
