Mermaid Online — a live editor that beautifies, previews, exports
Edit Mermaid online in a live editor: paste your Mermaid source, watch the live preview update as you type, click beautify for a cleaner layout, and export sleek, modern SVG or PNG. No account required — flowchart, sequence, state, class, ER, and Gantt all render live in the same Mermaid online editor.
Six Mermaid diagrams, beautified live in the Mermaid online editor
Each sample renders live in the Mermaid live editor. The After preview shows the same source after a one-click beautify — and we picked a different theme for each one to hint at the styles you can switch between when editing Mermaid online.

Show how a client, API, and database collaborate over time.
State diagram
Show a job moving through queued, running, and terminal states.
Class diagram

Why use this Mermaid online live editor
Mermaid online, no account
Open the Mermaid online editor in the browser, paste, preview, and export without signing up — anonymous sessions never persist server-side.
Mermaid live preview
Type Mermaid source on the left and the live preview re-renders on the right as you type — the same live editor experience you expect, with cleaner output.
One-click beautify
Rewrite the layout so the main path, branches, loops, and merges read clearly on the first scan — not just a default Mermaid render.
Clean SVG / PNG export
Download sleek, modern SVG with fonts inlined, or HD PNG sized for docs, decks, and tickets — straight from the Mermaid online live editor.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a Mermaid online editor?
Yes. This is a Mermaid online editor that runs in the browser — paste Mermaid source, get a live preview, beautify the layout in one click, and export SVG or PNG. No install, no account required.
How is this Mermaid live editor different from mermaid.live?
mermaid.live shows the default Mermaid render. This Mermaid live editor adds a one-click beautify step that re-lays out the diagram so the main path, branches, loops, and merges read clearly, plus theme switching and HD PNG export. See the full comparison at /comparison/mermaid-live-alternative.
Which Mermaid diagram types are supported?
Flowchart, sequence, state, class, ER, and Gantt are all supported with one-click beautify and live preview. Other Mermaid grammars parse and render with default styling and will gain bespoke beautification in later releases.
Do I need an account to use this Mermaid online editor?
No. Anonymous use is free for unlimited preview, beautify, and export to SVG or PNG. An account is only required to save Mermaid diagrams to the cloud and share them via a link.
Can I import my existing Mermaid file?
Yes. Paste any Mermaid source — including content copied from a .md or .mmd file — straight into the editor. Both fenced code blocks and raw Mermaid syntax are accepted.
Does the export keep my Mermaid theme settings?
The exported SVG inlines the active theme's font stack and colors so the diagram renders identically in docs and decks. Mermaid's own `%%{init}%%` theme directives are preserved in the source but visual styling follows the Beauty Diagram theme you pick before export.
Where can I learn Mermaid syntax?
The official Mermaid documentation at https://mermaid.js.org/intro/ is the canonical reference for every diagram type. The samples on this page are good starting points to copy, edit, and see in the editor.
