Who reports to whom
Org charts from a description, or from the Visio file you already have
Describe the reporting lines in a sentence and the hierarchy is laid out for you — or bring the existing chart and get it back on brand.
Straight answer first: there is no canvas here and nothing to drag. You describe the org chart in a sentence, or bring a file you already have, and it is drawn for you — on your own brand. If you want to place every shape by hand, draw.io is free and better at that. If you have the numbers already, read on.
Your file is read once to draw the diagram and is never stored. Converting turns on anonymous usage analytics — we never send your file, its contents or your brand URL. What we measure
Paste any URL. We read its palette and type and redraw the diagram in them — about a second, no account.

Every choice here redraws the diagram. Nothing is saved.
Language
The layout mirrors and the Arabic type scale applies, free. Translating the labels needs an account on a paid plan.

Depth
A bar in relief still measures correctly — the top face sits on the bar's end. A pie does not: squashing the circle makes the near slices read larger than the far ones at the same share.

Try it with this
Paste this into the description box above — it is the example that produces the worked org chart in the gallery.
The CTO has platform and product; platform has infra and API; product has web.
The hierarchy is drawn as a hierarchy, not as a mesh
Sounds trivial; it is where most automatic layouts fail. A generic router sees a child placed further sideways than it is below, decides the edge is horizontal, and sends the line out of the parent's flank and back round — which draws a reporting structure as if it were a network. Here a tree is routed as a tree: the drop is from a parent's underside to a child's top, always.
What comes out
Drawn by this pipeline, not picked to flatter it.
What you get out
SVG and PNG on any plan. PowerPoint with real editable shapes and live text — not a picture of a chart you cannot fix a typo in — plus our own .dgm format, which is plain text you can edit and re-import. Every conversion returns a ledger saying what changed, because you know your own diagram and would notice anyway.
Questions people actually ask
- Will it read our existing Visio org chart?
- Yes — .vsdx is read directly, including masters and nested groups, and the reporting lines come across with it.
- Does it number the boxes?
- No. Numbering implies a reading order, and stamping "01" on the CEO says the reader should start there and then go somewhere — a claim an org chart never makes. Flows are numbered; hierarchies are not.
- Can we put the whole company in one?
- Nothing is dropped however large it gets, but past a few hundred boxes a chart stops being read and starts being searched. One chart per division usually serves better.
