About MyDraw

MyDraw is a commercial desktop application for creating diagrams and flowcharts on Windows, macOS and Linux. Its interface is modeled on Microsoft Office and can be switched to several languages, which keeps the learning curve low for people who already know common office tools.

The diagram types it lists include flowcharts, organizational charts, family trees, cross-functional and workflow diagrams, cause and effect diagrams, data flow diagrams, mind maps, SDL diagrams and Venn diagrams. Drawing tools cover vector shapes, connectors, rich text, tables, barcodes and automatic layouts, backed by thousands of ready-made shapes and a set of templates. Output can be printed or exported to PDF and images, and data can be imported to build diagrams.

A major selling point is compatibility with Microsoft Visio: MyDraw can load and save Visio drawings and stencils, and the vendor offers a free viewer for Visio files. Integrations with Jira and Confluence let diagrams be used in Atlassian workflows. MyDraw is sold as licensed software with a free trial and an online store.
