How to Use

  1. 1

    Start from a workflow

    Open a support triage, content publishing, purchase approval, or launch handoff workflow and change it to match yours.

  2. 2

    Describe each step

    Give every step a title, an owner, a lane (the team it belongs to), a status, and a short note. Reorder steps with the arrows, and add or remove steps as needed.

  3. 3

    Choose the view

    Show a clean workflow map, swimlanes that make every handoff between teams visible, an approval path with its review gates, or a bottleneck view of where work waits.

  4. 4

    Arrange it

    Drag steps on the canvas to fine-tune the layout, and pick one of four themes and three canvas sizes.

  5. 5

    Download or play it

    Download the chart as a PNG, or play it step by step to walk a team through the process. MP4, SVG, and HD exports are Pro.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a workflow chart?

A workflow chart shows the steps of a piece of work in order, who does each one, and where the work passes from one person or team to the next. It answers "what happens, and who does it" at a glance.

How do I show who does each step?

Give each step an owner and a lane, then switch to Handoff lanes. Each team gets its own row, so every handoff shows as work crossing into another lane.

Can I mark where the work gets stuck?

Yes. Tick the bottleneck box on the steps where work waits, then switch to the Bottleneck view to make those risks and waits stand out.

Is a workflow chart the same as a flowchart?

Not quite. A flowchart maps logic, with decision diamonds and yes/no branches; a workflow chart maps work: the steps, the people, and the handoffs. For branching logic, use the flowchart maker.

Is this workflow chart maker free?

Yes. Build and download workflow charts as PNG files for free, with no signup and no watermark. MP4, SVG, and HD exports are Pro.
