How to use this data flow diagram template

  1. Click Open in the editor. The data flow diagram opens on a new page in FlowDiagram — nothing is uploaded and there is no sign-up.
  2. Rename, add or delete shapes and drag them where you want; connectors stay attached as things move.
  3. Drop in vendor logos from the library — 1,160 of them, including every AWS, Azure and Google Cloud service icon — or restyle it with the colour and theme controls.
  4. Prefer text? Edit the Mermaid source below and paste it in through ☰ → Import diagram (see the Mermaid editor); it imports as an editable diagram.
  5. Export to PNG, SVG or PDF, or press Ctrl+L for a link that carries the whole diagram.
