قبل وبعد
From diagram image to editable Mermaid code
Upload a flowchart screenshot, diagram image, or PDF page. ChatFlowchart rebuilds the structure and generates Mermaid code you can copy into docs, GitHub, or Markdown.

What to expect
Best for clear flowcharts and architecture diagrams. Review dense labels and branch directions before publishing.
Generate Mermaid codeHow conversion works
Start with the source file, let AI rebuild the visible structure, then review the editable result on canvas.
2
AI structures the visible diagram
ChatFlowchart detects steps, decisions, branch labels, arrows, connector direction, and layout from the PDF content.
3
Review Mermaid code
Use the generated Mermaid draft as a starting point, then review syntax, labels, branch logic, and layout direction before publishing.
Editable result
What you can edit after conversion
ChatFlowchart rebuilds the visible diagram as editable diagram objects, so the output can be reviewed and refined instead of staying locked inside a flat image.
Labels
Review and edit the visible text labels after the diagram is rebuilt.
Shapes
Move, resize, add, or remove process boxes, decision nodes, and other diagram elements.
Connectors
Reconnect arrows, adjust flow direction, and fix unclear branches when needed.
Layout
Clean up spacing, alignment, grouping, and reading order on the editable canvas.
Style
Apply sketch or modern styling before exporting the final diagram.

التفاصيل
ما يجب معرفته قبل التحويل
Convert PDF diagram pages into Mermaid code drafts
PDF to Mermaid conversion is useful when a flowchart, process diagram, or workflow diagram lives inside a PDF but your team wants code-backed documentation.
ChatFlowchart analyzes the visible PDF diagram and generates an editable Mermaid draft with nodes, labels, arrows, branch text, connector direction, and layout direction where possible.
Use Mermaid for Markdown, GitHub, and README workflows
Mermaid is useful when diagrams need to live close to documentation, pull requests, README files, and Markdown-based knowledge bases.
A PDF diagram to Mermaid workflow helps turn static documentation diagrams into text-based drafts that can be versioned, reviewed, and edited like source content.
Review PDF-derived Mermaid before publishing
Generated Mermaid code should be treated as a draft, especially when the PDF is scanned, dense, low contrast, or contains tiny labels.
Review connector direction, branch labels, node text, Mermaid syntax, and layout direction before publishing the result in production documentation.
Results and quality
Supported outputs and best results
Images, screenshots, whiteboard photos, and PDF uploads are supported. Text-based PDFs can be extracted directly, while scanned PDFs work best when the diagram, labels, and arrows are clearly visible.

Best results checklist
- Use clear images or PDF pages with readable labels.
- Crop the upload to one diagram or one process when the source contains multiple unrelated charts.
- Keep arrowheads, connector lines, and decision labels visible.
- Use high-contrast screenshots or straight-on whiteboard photos.
- Review labels, arrows, and branch directions before exporting the final diagram.
- Use one clear PDF diagram page at a time.
- Prefer text-based PDFs or high-contrast scanned pages with readable labels.
- Keep branch labels, arrows, and connector direction visible.
- Tell the AI if you prefer TD, LR, BT, RL, or another Mermaid direction.
Limitations and cleanup
- Dense diagrams may need manual cleanup after the first AI rebuild.
- Blurred, cropped, or low-contrast text can reduce label accuracy.
- Scanned PDFs and image-style PDFs work best when the target page is clear.
- The result is a rebuilt editable diagram, not a recovery of hidden source metadata.
- Connector direction, branch labels, and complex layouts may need review before sharing.
- Generated Mermaid should be reviewed and refined before publishing or committing to documentation.
- Scanned PDFs, tiny labels, dense diagrams, multi-page flows, complex layouts, and low-contrast pages may require manual cleanup or simplification.
After conversion
Continue from the converted diagram without rebuilding the file.
Open editable canvas
Continue refining the rebuilt diagram with manual edits or AI chat.
Export target files
Export the finished diagram as PNG, SVG, PDF, Draw.io, Mermaid, or a shareable link when available.
Fix with AI chat
Ask ChatFlowchart to rename labels, adjust steps, clean up layout, or correct arrows.
Report conversion quality
Mark whether the result looks good or needs cleanup so weak inputs are easier to diagnose.
