6 On-Line Diagramming Tools

Discover the best online tools to create diagrams. Easy to use and perfect for organising your ideas

If we analyse the infinite number of fields in which the internet has made our lives easier, the world of diagrams and concept maps has to appear on the list. It is amazing how online tools help us to create complex diagrams in a very short time and just by giving the necessary data (remember when you had to do it by hand at school?).

To help you get the most out of this branch, today we're going to talk about 6 tools that will help you make the best structured online scheme you'll ever see in your life. Read on!

Canva

Let's start with a basic one, especially for those of us who are not experts in the world of design. On the Canva website you can get, quickly and very intuitively, not only outlines, but also templates to make other types of documents, such as curricula vitae, business cards, presentations...

In addition, Canva users can share their own templates on the web so that other users can use them, which makes it an almost inexhaustible source of resources to choose from.

Draw.io

Draw.io is a free online tool that makes it easy to create diagrams and schematics. It has an intuitive interface and a wide range of shapes and graphical elements, making it easy to visualise concepts, processes and relationships. It allows you to create flowcharts, flowcharts, concept maps and more, collaborate in real time and export your diagrams in various formats. It is a versatile solution for communicating ideas clearly and effectively.

LucidChart

LucidChart is the perfect choice for creating more complex charts that require a large space. They have a free version that gives you the possibility to make up to three charts, but each one has an unlimited number of pages, so you can use it to create all the information you need.

Creately

One of the main features of Creately is collaborative learning, as it allows you to work with other people in real time and create together diagrams, graphs and other documents in a quick and orderly way. It is thus a perfect online tool to use with your colleagues at work, school, etc.

Diagrams.net

Using Diagrams.net you will feel like you are inside PowerPoint. This tool is completely free and helps you to create diagrams that you can save to Drive, which helps to ensure that your work is safe. The downside is that it lacks templates, but once you get to grips with the tool you will have no problem creating your own.

Bubbl.us

Bubbl.us combines many of the features of the previous online tools, such as the creation of diagrams in an intuitive, simple and very efficient way, but what characterises this programme is that you can work on different supports such as your mobile phone, tablet or computer, so you can take your work wherever you need it.
