Introduction
Image to Drawio: AI-Powered Diagram Conversion
Image to Drawio provides a straightforward solution for converting images containing diagrams into editable Draw.io diagrams. Utilizing AI, the service offers a rapid conversion process and maintains diagram integrity.
Core Functionality
The Image to Drawio tool leverages artificial intelligence to transform images – including screenshots, whiteboard photos, and legacy documentation – into fully editable Draw.io diagrams. The system’s primary purpose is to overcome the challenge of working with diagrams trapped within static images.
Key Capabilities
- Image Format Support: The tool accepts images in PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WEBP formats.
- AI-Powered Conversion: The core process utilizes AI to analyze the image and generate a Draw.io diagram.
- Draw.io Compatibility: Output files open seamlessly within Draw.io’s web, desktop, and VS Code editors.
- MXCell Element Generation: Detected shapes, text, and connectors are converted into mxCell elements, providing a standard format for Draw.io.
- Layout Preservation: The system aims to maintain the spatial relationships within the original diagram.
- Full Editor Integration: An integrated Draw.io editor is available directly within the tool.
Technical Approach
The tool’s methodology relies on several key technological components:
- Shape Detection: The AI identifies shapes such as rectangles, circles, diamonds, and custom shapes.
- OCR Technology: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) extracts text, along with its position and formatting.
- Line and Arrow Detection: The system identifies connections and flow through lines and arrows.
- Layout Analysis: Spatial relationships between detected shapes are preserved.
Pricing & Credits
The pricing model is based on a credit system:
- Starter: Offers 3 times free trial - no login needed.
