A flowchart turns a process you can only describe in words into something you can see. It’s the quickest way to agree how a task actually works, and to spot the step everyone forgets.
Here’s how to build one from scratch.
Write out the steps first
Before you draw anything, list the steps in order. Keep each one short: “receive order”, “check stock”, “send confirmation”. A flowchart is only as clear as the steps behind it, so getting this list right is most of the work.
Lay the steps on the canvas
Open the flowchart maker and add a rectangle for each step, top to bottom or left to right. Double-click a box to label it. Don’t fuss over spacing yet; you’ll tidy up once the arrows are in.
Add decisions
Wherever the process can go more than one way, use a diamond for the question. Draw an arrow out of the diamond for each answer and label them, so a reader can follow either path without guessing.
Connect everything with arrows
Draw arrows from one step to the next to show the flow. Arrows stay attached to their boxes, so you can drag a step to a better spot and the connections come with it. Once it’s all linked, nudge the boxes around until the chart reads cleanly from start to finish.
Export and share
Open the menu and export to PNG to drop the flowchart into a document or chat, or SVG if you want it to stay sharp at any size. Nothing is uploaded along the way; the chart lives on your device until you choose to share it.
