From idea

Describe a process in plain language (and optionally pick a diagram type). SayDiagram generates editable Mermaid you can refine in the editor or Arrange.

  • Free: 3 ideas per day.
  • Pro / Team: 100 ideas per day.

Image scan

Upload one or more whiteboard photos or hand sketches (up to 5). Image scan cleans contrast, reads the diagram with high-detail vision, and turns it into Mermaid you can edit. Best results come from readable labels; crop to the diagram when possible.

  • PNG, JPEG, or WebP — max 4MB each.
  • Free: 1 scan per day.
  • Pro / Team: 20 scans per day.

Polish and AI layout

Use layout polish and AI layout tools to improve spacing. Auto-layout presets (balanced, square, landscape, portrait) help when Arrangeable diagrams get crowded.

  • Free: 3 AI layout polishes per day.
  • Pro / Team: 50 layout polishes per day.

Daily AI allowances apply on all plans. Extreme automated usage may be rate-limited.
