Practical workflow guide

How to draw a flowchart and save your whiteboard

Open the whiteboard, draw shapes for the steps, connect them with arrows and add short labels. Save an editable .excalidraw file before leaving; export PNG or SVG when you need an image to share.

Start with the process

Write down the starting point, decisions and final outcome. Use a rectangle for a step and a diamond for a decision, then connect them with arrows. Keep labels short and check that every decision has a clear next step. The editor supplies drawing tools; it does not generate or verify your process.

Arrange and revise the diagram

Select an element to move, resize or change its colours and line style. Use undo and redo when adjusting the layout. Add text with the toolbar and check that labels remain readable when zoomed out. Leave enough space between shapes so the direction of each arrow is clear.

Work on a phone

The canvas opens in full-page mode. Use the toolbar to choose a drawing tool and zoom controls to navigate. Page view returns to instructions; Full page expands the canvas again. Export controls stay above the canvas. Mobile browsers vary in file-picker and clipboard support, and complex scenes can use substantial memory.

Save an editable copy first

Use Save drawing to download a .excalidraw file, which you can reopen from the canvas menu. This integration does not autosave, upload scenes or provide live collaboration. Keep your own copy before closing or refreshing the page. A download request is not proof that you completed the browser save dialog.

Choose PNG or SVG for sharing

PNG is a raster image suitable for documents and messages; the top-bar export caps the longest side at 4096 pixels. SVG keeps vector shapes sharp when scaled. Keep the editable scene alongside either format. If a PNG is too large for a website, review image compression or resizing and compare the result before publishing.
