Free Process Flow Chart Maker

A process flow chart shows a linear sequence of steps in a procedure — step 1 leads to step 2 leads to step 3. A flowchart can include decision points (if/then branches), loops, and multiple paths. Use a process flow for SOPs and straightforward procedures; use a /tools/flowchart-maker when you have decisions and branching logic.

There is no orientation switch. Instead there are four layouts: Workflow map for a stage flow, Handoff lanes for teams and ownership, Approval path for review gates, and Bottleneck view for risks and waits. For a vertical, text-heavy procedure, the visual SOP maker (/tools/visual-sop-maker) has a vertical mode.

There is no hard limit. For readability, 4-8 steps works best in a single diagram. For longer processes, split them into sub-processes with one diagram each.

No — steps are text. The layouts carry the extra meaning instead: Handoff lanes show who owns each step, and Bottleneck view flags risks and waits.

Yes — 100% free with no signup, no watermark, and no hidden fees. Create and export as many process flows as you need.

Not inside this studio: it downloads a finished process flow as a PNG (SVG with Pro). For a full infographic, the /editor has a Process Steps widget you can combine with stat cards, charts and timelines.
