    Mermaid Online

    freemium • Free editor
    Updated Oct 2026

    Mermaid Online helps developers and documentation teams create editable diagrams from text. The browser editor combines live preview, templates and PNG/SVG export for flowcharts, sequence diagrams and other Mermaid types, and you can always edit the underlying text. AI-assisted diagram generation drafts a diagram from a description. The editor is free; AI generation uses paid credits. Worth weighing: you'll still want basic Mermaid syntax to fine-tune results.
