Convert draw.io to Mermaid
Convert supported draw.io XML diagrams into Mermaid, beautify the result, and export cleaner diagrams for docs and presentations.
Follow the workflow, open the example in the editor, then export or save the cleaner result.
Use this guide when a draw.io diagram should become easier to maintain as Mermaid source and cleaner to export for documentation.
Export draw.io as XML
Use an uncompressed single-page .drawio or .xml export when possible. That gives the importer a clearer structure to parse.
- Prefer one diagram page at a time
- Keep labels readable before import
- Avoid relying on hidden canvas-only context
Import into Beauty Diagram
Upload the draw.io XML into the editor. Supported flowchart and sequence structures are converted into Mermaid source for review.
Review the Mermaid output
Conversion is a starting point, not a guarantee of perfect semantics. Rename nodes, remove duplicates, and simplify labels before export.
Beautify and save
After conversion, use the beautify step, export SVG or HD PNG, and save the Mermaid version in Diagram Hub for future edits.
