You created that beautiful flowchart last year. Boss wants changes today, but you can only find the PNG export. We get it - happens all the time. Here's the fix: use our image to drawio converter on that PNG file. In about 10 seconds, you'll have an editable diagram again. Every shape, arrow, and text box comes back to life. No more wasting afternoons recreating diagrams when you can just convert the image to drawio format.

Picture this: brilliant flowchart on the whiteboard, meeting's over, everyone's leaving. Quick - snap a photo! Later, run it through our image to drawio converter. What was a rough sketch becomes a polished diagram you can actually work with. We built this because we've been in those meetings too. Converting whiteboard images to drawio files means your best ideas don't die when someone erases the board.

You know that feeling - you find exactly the diagram you need in someone's blog post, but it says 'Acme Corp' instead of your company name. Or the colors are all wrong. Don't settle.

Our image to drawio converter turns 'almost perfect' into 'exactly what I need.'

Write a quick script, convert your entire diagram library while you grab lunch. We built the API we wished existed - simple endpoints, clear responses, no weird authentication dance.

• REST API - POST image, GET drawio. That simple.
• Code examples that actually work (tested daily)
• Batch convert images to drawio - perfect for migrations

What kind of images can I actually convert to drawio?

Basically anything with a diagram on it. Seriously. I've thrown everything at our image to drawio converter - blurry whiteboard photos from my phone, screenshots from Zoom calls, even a napkin sketch I scanned. PNG and JPG are the most common, but JPEG, GIF, and WEBP work too. The cleaner the image, the cleaner your drawio file, but I've converted some pretty rough stuff. Last week I converted a photo of a diagram drawn on a foggy car window. Not kidding. The image to drawio conversion cleaned it up nicely.

OK but does converting images to drawio actually work well?

Real talk? It works better than I expected when we first built it. Simple stuff like flowcharts and org charts? Nearly perfect image to drawio conversion every time. Complex network diagrams with 50 overlapping connections? You might need to fix a few lines, but beats redrawing from scratch. I'd say 8 out of 10 conversions are spot-on, and the other 2 just need minor touchups. Way faster than starting over. We use our own image to drawio tool internally - if it sucked, we'd know.

What's the max file size for image to drawio conversion?

10MB limit, but honestly, if your diagram image is 10MB, something's weird. Most screenshots are like 500KB. Even high-res photos of whiteboards rarely break 2MB. I've converted thousands of images to drawio files and maybe hit 5MB once (it was a massive architecture diagram someone exported at print resolution for some reason). If you're hitting limits, just resize the image first - the converter doesn't need billboard resolution to work its magic.

How do credits work? Is this going to get expensive?

Here's the deal: 1 credit = 1 image to drawio conversion. Start with our $4.99 trial plan for 20 credits to test our product. Believe me, you will love it. Blow through those? Invite a buddy, you both get 5 more. Still need more? $19.99/month gets you 100 conversions. Cheaper than the coffee you spilled on your keyboard. Oh, and re-downloading old conversions? Free. Convert an image to drawio once, download it forever. No credit needed for downloads.

Can I really convert hand-drawn sketches to drawio?

This is my favorite feature. Draw your diagram on paper, snap a pic, convert to drawio. Done. I do this in meetings all the time - sketch on the whiteboard, photo with my phone, convert the image to drawio back at my desk. Pro tip from experience: dark marker on white background works best. Pencil sketches are iffy. And yeah, your handwriting needs to be somewhat readable - the AI isn't psychic. But for turning quick sketches into real diagrams? Game changer.

Is my stuff private when I convert images to drawio?

Look, we're developers too. We get it. Your architecture diagrams aren't our business. Everything's encrypted during upload and when we process your image to drawio conversion. We save your conversions so you can re-download them (lost files suck), but that's it. We don't peek, we don't share, we don't train AI on your diagrams. Your company's secret sauce stays secret. If we were shady about privacy, word would get out fast in our community.

Can I bulk convert images to drawio?

The web interface does one at a time - keeps it simple, lets you check each conversion. But yeah, we built an API for the 'I have 200 Visio exports to convert' crowd. With a Pro plan, you can script it. I've seen people convert entire documentation libraries - hundreds of images to drawio files - during a lunch break. POST your image URL, get back drawio XML. We keep the API simple because complicated APIs suck to use.

What if the image to drawio conversion messes up?

It happens. Maybe 1 in 20 conversions comes out wonky - usually with super complex diagrams or really bad handwriting. Here's what to do: try adjusting the image first (better contrast often helps). Still broken? Send it to support. We'll either figure out how to convert it properly or refund the credit. No arguments, no 'working as designed' BS. Sometimes our image to drawio converter just needs a tweak to handle a new diagram style. We actually appreciate the weird edge cases - helps us improve.
